D+D: What are some standout backsplashes you are designing?

AZ: My clients want a cleaner look in their kitchens, so they are requesting the same material as the countertop and running it up the backsplash. Not only is it a sleeker look, but it is also much easier to clean. I mostly do modern designs with open kitchens/living rooms, so I have to make sure there are not too many kitchen elements fighting against each other. If there are too many different materials, then it gets busy and chaotic looking. You also don’t want the kitchen fighting design items around the other spaces. Clients want an openconcept flow, so I like to keep everything very clean. Neutral but bold—like the mirror backsplash.
