Trying to save money on a kitchen renovation by skipping the backsplash is a bad idea.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , said that such an obligatory component of the kitchen block as a kitchen apron is needed to maintain order.
Otherwise, every time you prepare breakfast, lunch or dinner, it will end the same way for you – you will need to grab a sponge and wash away the grease splashes left on the walls.
Such a procedure, especially if done frequently, will not benefit either the wallpaper or the paint, even if you choose the highest quality materials.
This does not mean that an apron relieves you of the need to clean the kitchen.
You will have to clean up from time to time, but this process will be much easier, because it is much easier to clean tiles, glass or artificial stone.
In addition, you can use aggressive cleaning chemicals, which will allow you to deal with even heavy dirt with minimal effort.
Speaking about the apron, it is worth noting another important point - the joints of the countertop and the apron deserve special attention. Despite the fact that the absence of sides looks stylish and aesthetically pleasing, they are needed to prevent water, crumbs and other debris from getting into the gap.
