Backsplash Basking: Glass

Thinking about doing something a bit edgy for your backsplash? Tired of the same old, same old?

Check out glass.


Most glass backsplash applications that I've seen do tend to be a bit more on the modern side, but traditional color options are out there.


Want to add a big splash of color?


Maybe you need a Honeysuckle backsplash...

Or if you can't decide on ONE color, do them all!



Just like any material, correct lighting can make or break the space. Glass can be lit from a variety of directions, though backlit creates some of the most dramatic results.



When you start shopping for your backsplash material, keep glass in mind. Think about ease of cleaning, smooth surface and limitless color options!

  1. Awesome! I love this. Solid glass makes for the perfect easy-to-clean backsplash. It isn't the least expensive option but it is certainly one of the best looking.

  2. excellent! we use glass all the time because it is so clean looking. It's a completely under-used solution I think...

  3. Quite honest, I have never thought about using glass as backsplash but after seeing those pictures... All I can say is WOW!
    There are some really awesome colors and I agree with Decor Girl, it will make a easy-to-clean backsplash.

  7. Ever since I saw DreamWalls glass at Neo Con a couple years ago I have loved this. And as that first photo shows, glass works in a kitchen that's a little more traditional/transitional as well. Hmmm...

  8. These look amazing! I really like the blue glow backsplash, it looks like a contemporary bar in Soho.

  10. It makes your kitchen look modern. The backlit transforms it into a bar.
