Tip #1- What is Your Budget?
The first thing we need to discuss is how can you find an inexpensive and customized backsplash? My first thing is that you need to know what your budget is.
If you don’t have a large budget, then you might need to be a little creative. If you’ve got a budget that all of us wish and dream that we had, then you have a little bit more flexibility.
Statistics show that if you write down your budget, 80% of us will stick to that budget. So that’s what I want you to do right now is to click on the download below and I want you to get your checklist and think about what is your budget for this project.
tip #2 inexpensive materials
Okay, step two. Now that you have your budget written down on your checklist, I want you to think about the materials that you like. Materials vary in cost. They also can vary on how you can customize it. So customize your splash. So I want you to think about the three categories of tile that I’m going to put them.

Budget Bracket #1: Inexpensive
You can get it at your local dollar store, dollar general, whatever is in your area, but it would be the foil back splashes or even a peel and stick. So that’s going to be your most inexpensive. So depending on what your budget is, that might be what your budget is able to accomplish.

Budget Bracket #2: Mid-Range
It’s not your traditional tile. It would be using paint, using stencils, having wallpaper, using paneling, anything like that that would be customizable as far as painting and yet still pretty inexpensive.
Budget Bracket #3: High End
That would be your travertine, your marble, your glass, your ceramic, any of the box store or boutique stores, big box stores that you could go and find the tile that you’re looking at and selecting. CLICK HERE for a gallery of inexpensive and customized kitchen backsplash ideas that can fit a range of budgets.
All three budget brackets have inexpensive choices even if you are selecting high end tile. They also are able to be customizable based on the color and the design, which we’ll talk about here in step three so now we’re on step three and that is how to customize the design of your backsplash to make it still inexpensive yet unique to your kitchen. And I think you can do that a few different ways.
Tip #3 Use Design to Customize your kitchen Backsplash
First, you can use color if you’re going to choose to paint your backsplash, you can use a high gloss paint and use a stencil on top of it. You could put the stencils close together or you could make them far apart. The plethora of stencils that you can buy online at your local Michael’s or Jo Ann is amazing. I love using stencils and I think that’s a really great idea.
When you use that stencil, you can use a different type of textured paint over top of your high glass shiny base paint. The design element is endless.
So then let’s talk about that as far as the design. Not only is the color important, but the design, how you lay it on your area that you’re going to do. I think you can do two things with your design.
Design options: Color and pattern
You can use color to break up a backsplash if you have a long run, like we do have like we have here in our kitchen, or you can use two different types of materials. If you were using tile, you could use two different colors of tiles or you could use maybe a chunky, uh, tile that square. And then the next one you could do little mosaic tiles or, and again, you can play around with the pattern that you want, but that’s something.
Now remember when you’re talking tiles and you’re talking, uh, using a variety of different tiles because of the different cuts you might end up finding that it runs your price up. So just keep that in mind. Uh, another way that you could customize this is the design.
Now, I don’t mean just the design as far as the run is concerned, but I mean how you lay the tiles down. If you look, and I have a whole Pinterest board CLICK HERE for PINTEREST BOARD dedicated to different ways to lay tile. So just say you’re doing a, a standard subway tile and you have two tiles together. You can lay them side by side or you could do the herringbone pattern or you could do two one way and two, uh, diagonally and then horizontally.
You could do a design that’s totally unique to, you could do three, you could do a pattern repeating and again, it’s endless. You add the color and then you add the design and you could even break that up with a something unique that kind of pops out behind your kitchen area or sorry, behind your sink area or your stove area.
