There are so many cool concepts out there for backsplashes that I found 10 I want to share with all of you. From pressed stainless steel to swanky translucent agate, there is definitely a unique, innovative backsplash idea out there for you. Here are some of my favorite backsplashes I came across: **Wall Covering with Glass** [![Screen shot 2014-11-18 at 1.09.29 PM](https://tiffanyhankendesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Screen-shot-2014-11-18-at-1.09.29-PM.png)](http://www.bhg.com/kitchen/styles/modern/modern-blue-global-style-kitchen/?sssdmh=dm17.579670&esrc=nwkbi020612&email=1382920277#page=6) In essence this is a really simple backsplash – it’s just a slab of glass behind the stove. But what I like about it is the glass in combination with the fun wallpaper on either side. You could get extremely creative with this look! **Herringbone** [![Screen shot 2014-11-18 at 1.10.26 PM](https://tiffanyhankendesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Screen-shot-2014-11-18-at-1.10.26-PM.png)](http://innatcascade.com/awe-inspiring-subway-tile-for-kitchen-backsplash-images/innovative-hardwood-subway-tiles-backsplash-for-perfect-kitchen-scheme-with-wooden-varnished-cabinets-and-black-quartz-kitchen-countertop-ideas/) This herringbone pattern could be done with gorgeous wood like the one above or even with glass or ceramic tiles. You can either buy pre-laid squares or do it yourself piece by piece. **Raw Wood** [![Screen shot 2014-11-18 at 1.11.33 PM](https://tiffanyhankendesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Screen-shot-2014-11-18-at-1.11.33-PM.png)](http://www.decosfree.com/kitchen-wood-raw-backsplash-idea-8064.html) Seriously, how fantastic does this look? Have you ever seen a backsplash made out of raw wood before? I love it! **Marble ** [![Screen shot 2014-11-18 at 1.12.18 PM](https://tiffanyhankendesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Screen-shot-2014-11-18-at-1.12.18-PM.png)](http://www.aldovega.com/25-best-kitchen-backsplash-design-ideas/modern-textured-white-gray-marble-kitchen-backsplash-design-ideas/) A marble backsplash is extremely elegant, no matter the color or design you go with. I love this example with the white marble on white countertop and cabinets! **Bottle Caps** [![Screen shot 2014-11-18 at 1.13.00 PM](https://tiffanyhankendesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Screen-shot-2014-11-18-at-1.13.00-PM.png)](http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/love-beer-create-a-bottle-cap-161332) This one is a little crazier, but it would look incredible in the basement bar! Plus it’s a fun DIY project that includes drinking good beer. **Chalkboard** [![Screen shot 2014-11-18 at 1.13.48 PM](https://tiffanyhankendesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Screen-shot-2014-11-18-at-1.13.48-PM.png)](http://www.hgtv.com/design/rooms/kitchens/30-splashy-kitchen-backsplashes-pictures?soc=sharingpinterest) A chalkboard backsplash could get a little messy but I think it looks pretty snazzy. Even without any chalk doodles on it, the matte black looks great behind stainless steel appliances. **Copper Tile** [![Screen shot 2014-11-18 at 1.14.42 PM](https://tiffanyhankendesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Screen-shot-2014-11-18-at-1.14.42-PM.png)](http://www.hgtv.com/design/rooms/kitchens/30-splashy-kitchen-backsplashes-pictures?soc=sharingpinterest) These copper tiles are stunning, and they look especially beautiful by the copper farmer’s sink. **Pebbles** [![Screen shot 2014-11-18 at 1.15.28 PM](https://tiffanyhankendesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Screen-shot-2014-11-18-at-1.15.28-PM.png)](http://www.hometalk.com/3255722/trendy-and-unique-backsplash-ideas) Sure, these pebbles might be a little hard to clean, but wow! They are stunning! **Translucent Agate** [![Screen shot 2014-11-18 at 1.16.15 PM](https://tiffanyhankendesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Screen-shot-2014-11-18-at-1.16.15-PM.png)](http://www.hgtv.com/design/rooms/kitchens/30-splashy-kitchen-backsplashes-pictures?soc=sharingpinterest) Isn’t this agate backsplash exquisite? As you can see, it’s part of a set with the agate countertop, but I think you could get away with an agate backsplash if you have a monochrome countertop of any color. **Pressed Stainless Steel ** [![Screen shot 2014-11-18 at 1.17.01 PM](https://tiffanyhankendesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Screen-shot-2014-11-18-at-1.17.01-PM.png)](http://www.hometalk.com/3255722/trendy-and-unique-backsplash-ideas) Regular stainless steel backsplashes are nice, but pressed ones are more interesting! If you could put in any one of the above backsplashes in your kitchen, which one would you go with?
