Kitchen Design Trends: Backsplash

Whether you are designing a new kitchen or looking to update your existing kitchen, your backsplash tile is one of the best places to incorporate creative design elements. There are several unique alternatives to basic tiling that can elevate the atmosphere of your kitchen. Here are a few ideas to consider when remodeling your kitchen with a unique backsplash.

If you are looking for a more traditional backsplash, colorful or decorative tiles are a great choice. Your backsplash tile can incorporate different shapes rather than the usual square or rectangular tiles that are present in many kitchens. Consider using penny tiles, large subway tiles or bright colored tiles. Tiles with unique shapes and shades will stand out against neutral countertops and cabinetry while complementing traditional kitchen design elements.  You can also lay your tiles in unique patterns to create a focal point in your kitchen!

A bolder design approach can include the use of unique materials for your backsplash. Mirrored glass, steel, wood, and copper are becoming popular choices for homeowners. Using unique materials adds to the overall décor of the kitchen. A mirrored backsplash provides a light and open feeling while also being easy to clean. Similarly, a steel backsplash creates a sleek and sophisticated look that also lightens up the room. Materials like wood and copper have earthy tones that create a cozy kitchen atmosphere.
