Traditional, aged copper that will patina with age is generally more expensive and requires a fair bit of maintenance to upkeep in a kitchen.

If this does bother you, glass tiles, laminate or lacquered finishes are the best option to consider in a kitchen as you still get the traditional look of copper, without the maintenance it demands. Which copper kitchen backsplash idea is your favourite?
