Glass Tiles, Glass Tile Suppliers and Ideas
A distinctive tile backsplash has the ability to create a focal point in your kitchen or wet bar and really dress-up or jazz up your decor for a personal look. The area that a backsplash covers is really not so large, so your expense is small compared to the visual impact you achieve. Most kitchens look so very similar, and all kitchens that are really used get their share of splatters and drips, so a ceramic tile, mosaic glass tile, stainless steel or creative metal backsplash makes good sense too. You can get some great ideas for designing a tile backsplash by looking at some of the ceramic tile artist's websites examples. Another good resource are Dover books. Even Dover's children's coloring books make great design tools. I often use them for basic outlines for mosaic designs.
