Updating your kitchen backsplash is an inexpensive way to give your space a new look. From pebbles to pallets to mirrors, anything goes! Check out our top 5 backsplash ideas!

1. Pallets

Reclaim a few old pallets to create this rustic backsplash. Perfect for those on a budget, as it costs next to nothing, but looks amazing!

2. Mirrors

This eye-catching backsplash consists of tiny mirrors. This is great for a small kitchen as it gives the illusion of more space.

3. Pebbles

Pebbles were stacked to create this natural backsplash. To recreate this look, use pebbles that are around the same size and shape. Make sure the grout isn’t visible too, as you want it to look like the pebbles are ‘floating’.
