Whether your dream kitchen is modern, traditional with a hint of color, or country chic, changing up your backsplash can make a huge difference with little to no effort. The idea is to revitalize the space while still maintain the main aesthetics already used in the kitchen space. Whether you prefer tiles or paint these kitchen backsplash ideas are sure to inspire you.
Glossy Black
Black is coming back with a vengeance, not only is it the IT color of the year, but it is modern and edgy, especially in a non-traditional space like the kitchen. Yes, we have seen black appliances, but have we seen glossy tiles take over the space? Not so much as that’s why we love the idea. Glossy black tiles can make a huge difference in the appearance of your kitchen from sweet and traditional to trendy and contemporary.
Crackled Ceramic
Crackled ceramic is one of the easiest hues to incorporate into your kitchen because of how neutral it is. It has a grayish-blue undertone incorporated in the tiles. If you prefer an all-white kitchen but want to add some color this is the perfect way to do so.
Silver
Metallic hues are quite popular in the kitchen space. However, many will consider metallic hues as accent colors instead of main shades. Add glossy silver tiles to a wall or two of your kitchen for a chic trendy twist.
Gold Marble
Marble is a statement material in most kitchens as it can be used in multiple different areas from the kitchen counters to the kitchen islands, there is always a place for a little bit of marble. If you already have a white kitchen but want to add a bit of texture using gold textured marble is the way to go. Subway tiles with gold ribbing through them will add texture that is simple but eye-catching at once.
Nautical Emphases
A nautical theme in the kitchen is not only fun and chic but it is also a great way to add a punch of color without appearing out of place. The key is using soft shades of blue that already compliment the other preexisting shades in the kitchen. This will add the nautical feel while still being part of your existing décor. Pair it with shades of off-white, beige, and gray for that nautical look that pulls through.
Gray Grout
When we see dark grout our very first thoughts may be “that needs to be white” or “that needs to be cleaned” but the truth is dark grouts add a modern touch to a classic kitchen. The contrast between the bright white tiles will make the dark grout appear darker and in return, it will give a contemporary charm in one simple step.
Faux Finish
Yes, you read that correctly faux finish is IN. Instead of adding a brick wall to your kitchen add tiles that have a brick wall finish to them. This will save you not only time but money as well. The brick finish will add an elegant yet rustic country feel to the kitchen while still being easy to maintain and even easier to clean.
Mirrored Disco Ball
Mirrored tiles are a top favorite because of how chic they are. They give fun vibes that may not even be part of your décor just yet. The key is having a mirrored finish backsplash with simple décor around it. You want the mirrored finish tiles to be the main focus of the room.
Touch of Floral
Not a year goes by that floral is not on trend. There is something feminine yet classic about having a floral print in the kitchen. The key is working with a print that isn’t overbearing to the other hues and shades you already have going on. You want to work with a pattern that will complement your current décor. You also want to go big and bold as floral print can never be just an added touch it needs to be the center of attention.
Chevron
Chevron is another pattern that works exceptionally well in the kitchen. It is classic yet fun and brings an air of “cool.” You can add it in a bold shade for added brightness to the room or you can add it in a neutral hue for a softer appeal that adds to the space. Consider using shades of gray for your chevron pattern.
Oversized Glass Tiles
Oversized glass tiles add an antique sparkle to the kitchen. There is something that makes you feel like you are at home when you see oversized glass tiles. Use that to your advantage and add them to your kitchen in fun colors. You may even want to mix or match a few shades together to create a unique pattern.
