Choosing the perfect kitchen backsplash is a key element in kitchen design. Here are some suggestions to help you select the perfect kitchen backsplash for your new kitchen.

Do You Want Tile or a Stone Slab Backsplash?

Most homeowners opt for stone or tile. If you have granite or manufactured stone countertops, you could get a matching backsplash to go along the walls. For most modern kitchen designs, tile is the way to go. It is customizable, much easier to install, and more cost-effective in the long run. 

Do You Want Plain Tile or Patterned Tile?

Tile can be subdivided into dozens of categories, but the two major groupings are patterned tile and solid-color tile. Mosaic tile could be grouped with patterned tile since it includes several colors, sheens, and sizes all at once.

If you have a busy countertop, you may want to choose a plain tile for your kitchen backsplash. If your stone has a subtle pattern, you could use a bold pattern on the walls. 

What Color and Shape Best Complement Your Kitchen Style?

The style of your kitchen should influence the tile for your kitchen backsplash. If you have a sleek and modern kitchen, you may choose a simple subway tile backsplash. If you have a traditional kitchen style, you may opt for stone tile that pulls some of the colors from your countertops. Pull inspiration from your floors, cabinets, and countertops. Choose neutral colors for all kitchen finishes, simply because of their versatility. You can change pops of color in the space by swapping out décor.
