You could get glass cut to fit area(s) either paint the back of it, wall paper it, decoupage it etc. The front will be very easy to clean. The right hand side of this "peninsula" is covered with decoupaged glass. Glass was needed here as it is just next to sink, and thus can get dirty easily.
Home improvement stores have peel and stick backsplashes that are 3 dimensional and look like tiles of all types: metallic, wood, marble, etc. Many are available now. I would put some up if it were mine!

Hi Colleen, Here's a few more ideas for you. One of them might inspire you. Some diy-er's have even used Sharpie pens to design a modern look on their backsplash areas. https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/how-to-make-a-diy-kitchen-backsplash-article

Paint, plaster, or there are vinyl stickers you can lay over them for a painted effect!
