Your counter’s tile backsplash might not be the first thing on your mind when you think about launching a kitchen renovation. However, this design element can play a focal point in your kitchen, and add either a splash of color and personality or a warm, neutral hue. Check out these new trends in backsplash to get you inspired:
Geometric Shapes
An atypical shape to your tile backsplash is the quickest way to draw attention to your kitchen. This approach is a bit risky, but done right it’ll surely wow your cocktail party guests. Hexagons and herringbones are particularly trendy right now, and with a bold color, they can make an all-white kitchen pop.
Marble
Marble looks great on your countertops, so why not add it to your backsplash as well? Instead of the traditional tile look, pick a continuous slab that matches perfectly with your countertops to give your kitchen a cohesive, put-together look. You can create this look with quartzite as well, but because some quartz materials are not resistant to heat, check with your remodeler first.
Interesting Textures
There’s no law that says you have to stick to the typical 3×6 tile for your backsplash. Try out a longer tile (like 3×10 or 2×8) to create a calming aesthetic. Adding texture with ceramic or porcelain tiles can in term add dimension to your backsplash and draw attention to it.
