Here are a few of the reasons why you might want to consider this
trendy material.
1. It will match your
appliances. Even if you don't have stainless
steel appliances it will probably have some subtle chrome accents to it. It
also works with any kind of cabinet just as long as it's not too country. It
will probably be a lot less expensive than buying all new appliances.
2. Steel is neutral and
durable. It's not going to become dated which allows you to make the most of
your investment.
3. It's dramatic. This
is one of the few neutral ways to really make a statement. It will work with
any accent color but you should also consider it for white kitchens that lack a
lot of character.
4. There are several
price points to choose from. If you want a plain sheet of stainless steel you
might want to use it in just one area to save money. There are even special
plates for behind most stoves. Match it with contemporary mosaic glass
splashbacks in the rest of your kitchen. You could also continue the theme with
stainless steel tiles. If you have a vintage style kitchen then look for a
brick pattern or even more of a subway tile pattern.
5. There are cheaper
options available if you want to get the designer look for less. You might even
be able to create the same look from really cheap roof flashing, although it
might not hold up as well although you will need to be careful with this diy
backsplash project.
6. Lots of patterns are
available. This doesn't have to be a basic mosaic style tile or square. You can
use this as a contemporary take on river rocks for an organic feeling that will
probably stay in style. Penny rounds were a popular vintage style. You can
combine the vintage silhouette in the modern material so that it will match
vintage white cabinets as well as stainless
steel appliances. Otherwise the silver tones would really jut out in the
room.
