Before choosing a countertop material, HGTV’s Christina Hall recommends bringing a sample of your backsplash design to the store to ensure your final design is sleek and cohesive.
Hall explains it can be difficult to visualize what your backsplash looks like in the moment. Although you can take photos, the lighting and coloring are not always true to form.
Instead, a sample provides a much more accurate visual. You can order one from the manufacturer or find one in-store if you purchased your backsplash from a commercial retailer.
