It is a must do! So say any home renovation, home selling and buying shows. They all have this excitement over the tile back splashes. It is a selling point. Really?
What if? You don’t like that tile, that texture, the color, that pattern?
Yet, how many home shows have you seen the pride of the owner about the tiled backsplash. In a home selling show, the home seller noting they JUST added that back splash. Why? and again What if the potential home buyer does not like it? How much money did you put into that project? Do you think you will get that back? Don’t count on it, of course certainly not in the current market.
Flashback… the faux brick.
Think about it, when you see a home buying show where a home owner checks out a 70′s home. The horror over the brick backsplashs that were a common choice back in the 1970s. Yet no one seems to realize trends happen, they are hip and then hype, eventually ho-hum.
I have seen some hideous choices for backsplashs, and they pretty much are either very personal or extremely boring. There is little loved by all options.
So just a note.. selling your home? don’t add tile… not to the bathroom, not to the kitchen.
