Tiled Kitchen Backsplash Extravaganza

Email

Kitchen upgrades are a common and easy way to update a home. I’ve done a few posts where we painted walls and cabinets, but here, I want to focus on the backsplash. Perhaps the most common and easiest upgrade (aside from paint) is to add tile. I also love that tile can be a doable DIY project as well. Check out this plain kitchen below. Note the the newly installed Silestone countertop in Mont Blanc.

The owners chose to keep their original black appliances and maple cabinets, so we are working with a palette of white, black and light maple. I found some great tiles at Modwalls, which come in a nice variety of colors and are really affordable. Here is the dramatic Marakesh blend.

If you are willing to commit, a backsplash is also a great place to add color to the kitchen. I like this bold Tango blend. A solid color would also make a nice statement and feel less busy.

One of the great features at Modwalls is the custom tile blender. You can pick multiple colors and blend them in any proportion to create your perfect palette. Here is a brown and white blend for something more muted than the colorful Emma above.

A lighter look in a custom blend of white and speckles of green.

If you don’t like the looks of small squares, subway tiles are another good option. Here is Modwalls Lush tile in dune. I love the elegant lines and tasteful colors.

The backsplash is also a great place to mix textures and materials. While I love the glass and ceramic tiles, I’m always drawn to earthy stone and marble. Here is a great mix of glass and stone in matchstick shape from Glass Tiles Etc. So earthy and stylish!
