Gone are the days of neutral tan, brown, and white kitchen backsplash trends. If you want to infuse energy and personality into your kitchen, consider using colorful tiles for your backsplash! Opt for shades that complement your kitchen's color scheme, or go for contrasting hues to create a dynamic visual impact. Bright blues, greens, yellows, or even a mix of multiple colors can add a lively touch to your space. Express yourself in the heart of your home with bold and colorful tiles. After all, cooking should be fun, right?
Natural stone tiles like marble, granite, or travertine can introduce a touch of rustic charm to your kitchen. The unique veining and patterns inherent to these stones create a distinct and elegant look. No two tiles are the same, so you’re guaranteed to have a one-of-a-kind backsplash. Plus, natural stone tiles are highly durable and can withstand the demands of a busy kitchen while adding a touch of quiet, earthy luxury.
Hexagonal tiles are gaining popularity for their modern and contemporary appeal. These six-sided tiles can be arranged in a uniform pattern or a more free-form design to suit your aesthetic preferences. The geometric nature of hexagons can add visual interest and a sense of movement to your kitchen backsplash. Even something as simple as a black-and-white hexagon tile design will add modernity and interest to your tile backsplash. How fun is this Hex Appeal Tile from our Natural Stone collection?
