Most new suburban homes and popular home renovators focus on wide-open floorplans, especially in the kitchen and living areas. If you find yourself in this home style, a slab backsplash can work well in this space where it can be appreciated. Galley-style or corner kitchens do not lend themselves to this design feature as well as open floorplans do because this high-end feature is meant to be displayed in its full glory.
