Use durable materials and intricate patterns.IF YOU WALK INTO a home that was built over 35 years ago, chances are that the kitchen and bathroom will have a backsplash near the cooker/stove and sink to protect the walls from splashes.Today, it seems people are in a hurry to just put up four walls in a few weeks and call it a home. Those days when men were men and women were proud of their men, details mattered when it came to home interior. It did not matter how long it took, for as long as the details were down right and to the specification.Not only did the backsplash protect one’s kitchen from getting dirty; it also used to make the walls around these areas look clean and attractive by adding colour to them.
