Ideas For Kitchen Splashbacks
1. Whitewashed Brick Splashback
Whitewashed brick is the perfect aesthetic splashback for a farmhouse, cottage, or industrial-style home! I think this kitchen splashback is stunning and is probably my favorite on the list. Although it is beautiful, I question how difficult it would be to clean a backsplash made of brick properly.
2. Checkered Tile Backsplash
This kitchen has such a cute backsplash with the checkered tile! The colors coordinate beautifully with the other elements in the kitchen and complete the slightly retro theme. The tiles used were Celine 4 x 4 in both taupe and white, which can be found here.
3. Picket Ceramic Splashback
I’ve been seeing the picket-style tile everywhere lately and I am loving it! The gorgeous shape and design of this tile look beautiful in the bold green color and I love the slight 3D effect you get from the raised middle portion. This tile is the Kent ceramic tile which can be purchased through Tilebar here.
4. Cement Tile Backsplash
If you love a little pattern this Leon I tile made by the Cement Tile Shop is for you! With gorgeous intricate detail, this tile can make a statement as a kitchen backsplash. Handmade and made of cement this tile will make a unique addition to any home. You can find the Leon I by the Cement Tile Shop here.
5. Mini Picket Backsplash
These mini picket tiles are just too cute! I love the all-white splashback with these gorgeous detailed picket tiles. The raised edging gives the backsplash a unique textured look with a modern feel.
6. Metal Backsplash
The mix of all-white subway tile with this metal backsplash piece above the stove gives this kitchen a modern look. It draws your attention to the stove by making it a focal feature within the kitchen.
7. Glass Mosaic Backsplash
The third style of picket tile is on our list for a good reason, this gorgeous blue glass tile is stunning! Using the tiles in a horizontal direction instead of vertically gives the splashback an entirely different look. Love this particular style? You can grab it here from Tilebar.
8. Terrazzo Splashback
If you like a design that has some color and is a whole lot of fun, you’ll love a terrazzo splashback! The subtle color and pattern that a terrazzo backsplash can add to your kitchen give it a funky vibe with a slightly bold touch.
9. Hexagon Style Backsplash
Not into the picket-style backsplash? Why not try a traditional hexagon-shaped one instead? The bright mint color and atypical shape create a beautiful pattern and a fun space!
10. Marble Splashback
For a classic and durable backsplash, marble is always a solid choice. It’s a timeless material that rarely goes out of style, but is also one of the most expensive splashbacks you could choose.
11. Herringbone Patterened Splashback
A herringbone tile pattern is a classic choice for a backsplash in your kitchen. The pattern has a sophisticated and timeless look that withstands other more trendy styles of splashbacks. The light gray almost greenish color of this one is a stunning choice against the all-white kitchen.
12. Kitkat Tile Backsplash
Another style that has been pretty popular recently is the Kitkat or finger tile. The tile can accommodate many different interior styles with its simple and sleek design. It’s available in several different colors, materials, and sizes that can be customized to your design.
13. Copper Backsplash
Make a statement in your kitchen with a copper backsplash! The unique fish-scale pattern and color create a bold look and style that is one of a kind. It would be a perfect addition to a mid-century designed home.
14. Beadboard Splashback
Using beadboard for your backsplash is a beautiful option to save you money and time! Far easier to install than tile and much more cost-effective, beadboard makes a great splashback. This style is perfect if you have a beach or farmhouse-style home.
15. Scalloped Backsplash
The scalloped pattern tile in this kitchen gives it an almost whimsical look! Since the tile is a similar shade to the cabinets and wall it flows beautifully while adding texture and visual interest.
16. Chalkboard Paint Backsplash
Looking for a really cheap option? Use some chalkboard paint! Give yourself a cafe-style kitchen with a gallon of paint and some chalk. Probably the cheapest option on the list, chalkboard paint can be a fun and unique backsplash to use if you are looking to save some money or DIY the project yourself.
17. Penny Round Mosaic Tile
From simple clean all-white tile to bright and bold or multi-colored, penny round tile comes in all kinds of styles! The tile can look modern, sleek, sophisticated, or retro depending on the color and style chosen. It’s an adaptable tile that can work in a multitude of different designs and spaces.
18. Shiplap Backsplash
A farmhouse favorite, shiplap is often used throughout a farmhouse design, so why not use it as a backsplash too? A budget-friendly option, shiplap gives this kitchen a clean all-white look perfect for the country.
19. Stone Backsplash
You cannot help but LOVE this stone splashback! It has such a beautiful homely look to it. Great for a cottage, cabin, or chalet this backsplash creates a cozy and inviting look within a home.
