Ceramic tile is the most popular option for a kitchen backsplash. Ceramic tiles are incredibly versatile—they come in many shapes, sizes and colors and can be installed in numerous patterns. Professional installation of ceramic tile costs an average of $600 to $1,200, although intricate handmade designs can run up to $3,000.

Natural materials such as stone, wood, and clay are becoming increasingly popular for kitchen backsplashes. These materials offer a warm and organic feel and can add a touch of rustic charm to your kitchen. In addition to traditional flat tiles, textured backsplashes are also gaining popularity.
