10 creative backsplashes

While I let my imagination run wild in my art career, I stick to very conservative treatments in my home and advise the same with clients. I usually ask two questions:

Will you still love this in 5 years?
How will this treatment affect resale value?

I know ... boring and predictable, but there you have it. I think it's great that there are people who are willing to step into the abyss and let their creativity run wild. What do you think of these?

Great use for the defunct Canadian penny! Busy for sure. Working copper into a kitchen colour scheme could be a problem.

Everstone is putting out uniquely shaped designs, from pointy shards to circular bubbles. Seems fitting for a backsplash!
