Wallpaper

Wallpaper is durable and often water resistant, so you can create a trendy look while fighting stains. The average roll only costs about $18 to $40.

Peel & Stick Tile

Peel-and-stick tile looks like tile but only costs about $30 to $40 to cover 10 square feet of space, much less than tile's average $21 per square foot.

Shiplap/Beadboard

With a little work, you can create a stunning shiplap or beadboard backsplash using plywood/beadboard and paint for less than $15 per 8 square feet.

Brick Veneer

Exposed brick creates character and texture in a home, and brick veneer runs about $35 for 30 square feet, meaning it isn't much more than peel-and-stick tile.

Painted Tile

If you already have a ceramic tile backsplash, you can change it with tile paint, which costs around $16 per quart and covers up to 100 square feet.
