Putting a back splash next to the stove.

Should we put tile back splash next to the stove, on the left. Or just leave it blank.
I had this same situation and food would get splashed on the wall. A friend of mine installed a piece of plexiglass (just screwed into the wall) and that kept my wallpaper from getting ruined. It was easy to clean and you could still see the wallpaper!
A backsplash would be practical. You should take it around to the refrigerator though, not just the left wall for it to look right.
Most people leave it blank. Just as easy to wash as a back splash.
Love Kathy's suggestion! Mine was similar. I had a stove set up like that too at one time, we just used really good washable paint, but I believe some sort of back splash would make this area much easier to keep clean.
You can buy self adhesive wall treatmen. Cut it to size. Bring some of your personality to the space.
Years ago we did the same behind our stove and loved it, the Plexiglas was easy to clean and still showed the wall color. We couldn't decide on a back splash, and that was our compromise to make the wall cleanable.
I would, yes.
Yes, definitely put it along side of the stove. Just remember to seal your backsplash after installing it. That makes it easier to keep clean.
Do it. You will be happy u did. Hey spaghetti sauce and tomato sauce and other things to not wash off a Wall.
