Taking a personal interest in the backsplash ceramic tile in your kitchen, bath, or other work area is a great way to express your artistic talent and make important spaces in your house unique and meaningful. With almost infinite possibilities of color, design, size, and subject, a tiled border both protects and beautifies the walls of a room.

Once upon a time hand painted tiles were all that were available, and the art has not died out. Handmade examples are still popular for their one-of-a-kind accent to any decor, and their ability to express any interest or taste. Tiling is so durable that some examples of Roman villa decoration still exist in their original sites.

Today a wealth of mass-produced tiling in rainbow colors, all sizes and shapes, and a variety of smooth, indented, or raised surfaces, provide an additional and almost unlimited choice. Using ready-made materials in colors that match or accent any color scheme means no need to sacrifice beauty or uniqueness for an affordable price.

For a really custom look, commission a local artist – you might be surprised at how many there are near by – or design your own pieces. Blanks can be bought if what you want to do some of your home yourself in your very own colors, or you can produce each piece by hand and rent kiln space for firing.

Do-it-yourself installation is a popular subject in home improvement books and websites. There are step-by-step instructions, lists of necessary tools, and tips for best results. Careful measuring and a clear mental picture of what you want are essential.

If you do not want to get all the tools – such as cutters and nippers and a carborundum stone – or mess with adhesives and grout, there are many professional tile setters who are eager to assist you. Home stores often have installation services, and specialists in the industry advertise online and in the local phone book.

When decorating your house, don’t overlook either the charm of backsplash ceramic tile or the fun of picking just the right one for you and your home.
