Subway Tile
This choice for your kitchen backsplash is a classic that has thrived for over a century! While 2023 trends that are suspected to continue into 2024 lean towards bold choices, if you prefer a traditional look, this might be the perfect choice for you. Subway tiles come in various colors and materials as well.
So, you can opt for a more eclectic look, but the timeless and sophisticated design is tried and true for a reason.
Marble Slabs
A kitchen backsplash trend that will be seen a lot more is homeowners opting for a single slab of marble, acting as either an extension of the countertop or just for the luxurious and clean lines it gives.
Both Calcutta marble and Carrara marble slab backsplashes are popular. Calcutta provides a more statement marble piece with swaths of deep and bolder colors. Carrara has a more timeless, polished, and traditional look.
Mosaic Tile
Mosaic backsplashes infuse your kitchen with color and personality that pair well with both traditional and contemporary kitchen designs. The variety of materials, patterns, colors, and finishes is endless.
While this type of kitchen backsplash is busier, you can tone it down with cohesive choices for your mix of tiles. Creating your own mosaic rather than buying one will also help your personality shine through and make the design more timeless.
Hand Painted Tile
You can even add patterns through hand-painted tiles, as this variation in color and texture can add visual interest while still being a cohesive tile set. Additionally, the customization of hand-painted tiles adds a high-end look to your kitchen.
Statement Range Backsplash
A kitchen backsplash trend gaining more popularity is including a statement range backsplash. This is where most of the kitchen has a more subtle or simple backsplash. The goal is to enhance the range and stove space with a bolder tile choice. This is also a way to choose a more visually impactful tile without committing to the entire room.
Mirrored
Mirrored kitchen backsplash, including mirrored tiles or panels reflect light, giving the appearance of extra room while also providing a glamorous touch. This type of backsplash has grown in popularity, but it does require extra cleaning to avoid finger smudges.
Overall, creating a bolder kitchen with vibrant colors and prominent tiling is a trending theme for kitchen backsplashes. If you are considering a kitchen remodel soon and are unsure where to begin, our award-winning team is available to discuss your project. Contact us for a free consultation.
