Homeowners can add character and style to their kitchens by tiling the area above the kitchen sink, it has been claimed.Steve Cloninger, owner of Get It Done Home Repairs Maintenance in the US, suggested that creating a backsplash above the kitchen sink is not a particularly hard job to do.However, he noted that people must also consider various factors before attempting the task themselves, such as the type of wall and tile used.Writing for STLtoday.com, Mr Cloninger observed that cutting the tiles can be one of the trickiest jobs. He therefore urged homeowners to use a wet tile saw for this.Make your cuts, and install them in order, added the expert. It is best to make each cut, or only a couple of them, and install them, rather than cutting every tile at one time.The advice comes after a recent article by the North American Press Syndicate noted that ordinary kitchens can be made to look extraordinary through lighting changes.
