    I would recommend ceramic tile. It is probably the cheapest way to go and gives you a lot of options. I have seen ceramic tile as low as $0.45 each and it is easy to install.
    If you need to learn about installing ceramic tile you can visit DIY websites and gather a wealth of knowledge. If you have a Lowes or Home Depot nearby they both offer classes on occasion to show you exactly how the installation takes place.
    One thing you want to make sure to do with ceramic tile is seal the grout to prevent discoloration if something splashes on it. You can also add color to the grout if you want to be creative.

      You can go to your nearest thrift store like Goodwill (half price Saturdays even better) purchase some colorful ceramic plates.  Cover with an old towel and break them into pieces. Now, I believe you put up chicken wire where you want your splash, cover with a layer of cement-type mixture. While still setting, place your broken pieces of plate in any type of pattern or non pattern.  After setting seal it with a grout mixture.  Do be care of small shards so wear at least heavy rubber gloves for protection.
