There is a huge range both in color, material and price for kitchen backsplash... so the first two things to consider are your budget and the overall look you want to achieve. I recommend reading design magazines, talking to your friends and visiting websites like Pinterest to get a good idea of what you might want your kitchen to look like. Many people choose neutral cabinets or wall colors and select a colored glass backsplash to add personality and flare to their kitchen. Vibrant colors are very popular as are light-blue tiles against a white or neutral cabinet for a very clean, light and fresh feel.

Finish it off with polished chrome or polished nickel hardware and lighting and you will have a kitchen that fits in nicely with your modern home. It's a nice blend of modern and traditional; with the cleaner lines of modern style but the warmness of a traditional interior. The key to the transitional style kitchen is to add accessories that keep the kitchen from looking to stark and bare. Selecting a more detailed cabinet door profile and adding glazing to the finish is a beginning step for creating a traditional kitchen.
