It doesn’t matter if you’re doing a full reno or you just want to spruce up your kitchen a little bit, kitchen backsplash can make or break your kitchen!
While it may not be the most prominent feature of your kitchen, it would look bland and boring without it! Think of it as shading, without it, the kitchen would be two-dimensional!
Backsplash adds character and personality to your kitchen, so when you’re renovating it’s important to think about the backsplash you’d like to have.
Factor in the color, shape, and size of the tile, and if you want to be more unique you can even go for some other material like brick or wallpaper!
With so many different possibilities, we’ve rounded up some of the best and most stylish choices for you!
1. Make It Cohesive
Kitchens are practical and uniform spaces, so it’s important to make your space flow and agree with itself! This backsplash blends in nicely with the rest of the kitchen and it gives it some intrigue!
2. White Grout With Dark Tile
One way to make your uniform and repetitive tile more interesting is by giving it contrast! Instead of going for matching grout, go for one that will contrast the tile!
Bonus points if the grout matches your kitchen cabinets!
3. Hide the Hood
If you don’t like the look your range hood gives to your space, hide it completely! Make it blend into your backsplash tiles!
4. Lighter-Toned Brick
Brick does a great job at making the space feel more natural and rustic, plus when paired with darker cabinets, it breaks them up nicely!
5. Tile Play
This kitchen incorporates two different tiles that complement each other very well! One of them accents the cooktop while the other is used throughout the kitchen!
6. Colorful Patterns
While I do love a good monochrome moment, colorful spaces have my heart. When talking about kitchen backsplash, this is your opportunity to do something different and bold!
7. Glossy Herringbone
A classic that never gets old! Herringbone tile will make any kitchen look and feel more classy and rich!
8. Nature’s Gifts
It’s time to get inspired by nature and incorporate some floral touches into your stunning kitchen! They will add interest, character, and warmth to your cooking space!
9. Statement Marble
Opt for a marble backsplash throughout the whole kitchen to make it look elevated and sophisticated!
10. Pink Tile
Don’t be afraid to use complimenting colors in your kitchen! Just because you opted for colorful cabinets, doesn’t mean you can’t go for colorful tile!
11. Match the Island
It’s a shame to let all this beautiful marble go to waste, so why not put it anywhere you can?
Matching your kitchen backsplash with the island countertop will help tie in the space!
12. Play With Pattern
Take some creative liberties and arrange your tiles so that they all flow together in harmony, but don’t make them look uniform!
13. Bring the Attention to the Range
Cooking alcoves have been making quite the splash in recent times and one way to bring more attention to your stovetop is by accenting it with interesting tile!
14. Create Contrast
If you want to spruce up your all-white kitchen, go for a tile that will bring contrast into the room!
15. Waterproof Stucco
To get away from tiling, this is another creative idea as to what to do with your kitchen backsplash! This all-black kitchen looks stunning and cohesive!
16. Antique Tiling
It doesn’t matter if the tiles are actually antique and vintage or not, their ages-old shape will do the talking! If you’re someone who likes a traditional look this backsplash is for you!
17. Landscape Tiles
Create a beautiful design on your tiles! This landscape design reminds me of the expensive and detailed china all of our grandparents have!
18. Checkerboard Tile
This checkered tile gives the space charm and some much-needed warmth since the cabinets can make the space moody and cold!
19. Modern Marble Design
Marble isn’t only seen in old traditional houses and it’s not just white! It can be as modern or traditional as you want it to be and it can be incorporated into any space you see fit!
20. Steel Kitchen
Make your life easier and go for an all-steel kitchen, both cabinets and backsplash and you’ll see how easy the clean-up is afterward!
