That really just makes it a pop of the dark gray color rather than a continuation of something else from the room, and gives it that “backsplash” feel, since “real” backsplashes usually use a material that isn’t used anywhere else in the room..Even though this color is a neutral (Martha Stewart Crevecoeur), it’s still a bold color and really makes a statement and draws the eye in.Wimpy colors just can’t do the heavy lifting, decor-wise, that’s needed to make up for the lack of a real solid tile or stone backsplash..

Next, bring the two sides in so that they meet in the middle and iron your napkin one more time so that it’s crisp and holds its shape nicely.. Flip the napkin over to reveal the smooth side and hide the folds..
