Because of its value in relation to the rest of a home, the kitchen is too important of a room to overlook when selling a property. Even small improvements can drastically increase selling power and marketability. See previous articles on cabinets and countertops for a few ideas, and be sure to consider this:
Possibility #3: BACKSPLASH
A whole new look can be created by adding a backsplash in your kitchen. A backsplash traditionally lies above the counters and below the cabinets, and it is available in a variety of forms. There are tiles, laminate and new stainless steel backsplashes.
Tile/Laminate
Pictures or patterns can be created with tile backsplashes, but these can be more time-consuming to install. Laminate backsplashes are usually cut to fit the area and can easily be glued down.
Stainless Steel
With stainless steel appliances, matching backsplashes are very popular, as they add a modern feel to the room and clean easily. This stainless steel option is available in tile form or in a single sheet, and it’s fairly simple to install.
