7 Popular Kitchen Backsplashes

1. Teflon Coating

Think beyond tiles: Wallpaper your backsplash instead! Teflon-coated styles wipe clean easily, and while the cost varies based on the design you choose, you can snag a serious deal here.

Average Cost: $1/square foot

2. Glazed Tile

Want to add instant sheen your kitchen? Go glazed.
