  • The Latest Trends in Kitchen Backsplashes

    The kitchen is the heart of every home, and a well-designed kitchen can improve the atmosphere throughout the entire house.  One element of kitchen design that can make a huge impact is the backsplash.  A well-implemented backsplash can make all the difference in the overall appearance of the look and feel of your kitchen, and the countless design possibilities allow you to create a truly personalized space.

    To help you find your ideal backsplash design, take a look at nine of the latest kitchen design trends.

    • Hexagon Tiles- This timeless style of tile is great for any kitchen space.
    • Solid Slab- Give your kitchen a modern twist with this seamless backsplash.
    • Different Shades- Use different shades of one color in glass tile to create a masterpiece.
    • Bright Backsplash- If you have a plain white kitchen, a bright citrus color like yellow, orange, or turquoise is ideal to make your kitchen pop.
    • Handmade Ceramic Tiles- Add an earthy look to your kitchen that will make for a great conversational piece.
    • Silver- Silver can compliment any kitchen and it’s neutral enough that you can run it all the way up to the ceiling without overwhelming your design.
    • Under the Hood Backpslah- Save money on materials and isolate your backsplash to the wall space below the hood.  This works best visually when the hood is centered on a wall.
    • Vertical Tile- Do something different with vertical tiles.
    • Dark Moody Backsplashes- Dark colors paired with a warm rustic design ad richness and depth to your kitchen.
