Homeowners and DIY installers frequently make several common mistakes when planning and installing a kitchen backsplash that can ruin the finished aesthetic. Major errors include failing to calculate tile layouts properly beforehand, resulting in awkward, narrow sliver cuts of tile ending abruptly in prominent corners or near cabinetry. Other frequent mistakes include stopping the backsplash arbitrarily without aligning it with upper cabinets or countertop edges, skipping waterproofing and backer board preparation in wet areas around the sink, and using mismatched grout colors that clash with the overall design or show stains too easily.
