When designing your tiled backsplash there are several factors to consider, The Galleria of Tile has put together some tips for selecting your tiles and creating an eye-catching display.
Adding or updating the tiles in your kitchen is a quick and easy way to give the room a whole new look. There are so many options when it comes to designing a backsplash – whether you want to keep it simple, add a splash of color or create a work of art.
Tile the whole wall, particularly if you have shelving or cabinets above the area to be tiled. This gives a sense of continuity and will make a small kitchen feel larger.
- Create a focal point around the cooking area using bright or patterned tiles. Use contrasting tiles for other areas if you are tiling throughout.
- Choose contrasting grout or a grout color that will blend.
- Use mosaic tiles with a simple worktop or counter.
- Pick a pattern for your tile layout, this can make simple tiles look expensive while also adding interest. A herringbone or diagonal pattern is an easy way to transform tiles into a stylish backsplash.
- Use bright colored tiles to add a pop of color to a simple kitchen. Use a border or trim to separate the backsplash from the rest of the room and create a designated area.
- Extend your backsplash by tiling the kitchen counters in the same tile.
