When it comes to kitchen remodeling, the process goes beyond picking the right cabinetry, appliances, and color palette. It would help if you also chose a backsplash, as it is equally essential to your design scheme. Setting a backsplash is a crucial step of kitchen renovation as it gives you the chance to try out different materials as well as showcase your design styles. Whether you fancy a chic and stylish backsplash or something bold and authentic, here are some of the trending backsplash ideas.
Oversized Subway Tiles
One of the hottest trends right now is the use of oversized subway tiles. Since the 3” x 6” subway tiles have been in the market for years, homeowners are starting to look for something a little different. With this new development, manufacturers started furnishing homeowners with large size subway tiles, including the 4″x 8″ or even the 4″x 12″ tiles. With their unique classic look and super easy maintenance, the large format subway tiles help create a feeling of continuity as well as generate a perception of space, especially in small kitchens. If you are looking for a new backsplash idea, this is one trend that you should checkout.
Mirrored Tiles
As homeowners continue to seek authentic but subtle styles, the use of mirrored tiles is becoming a glamorous kitchen backsplash idea. Mirrored finishes provide tiles with a glossy reflective surface that is perfectly highlighted when hit by light. Additionally, the mirrored tiles add more depth to your kitchen space and make it appear bigger. The mirror effect becomes even stronger if the backsplash extends to the ceiling. With a mirrored tile backsplash, homeowners can use the elements of light to bring more drama and brighten up the kitchen. And as a bonus, it takes just a few minutes to clean these tiles.
Marble Backsplashes
Although we are used to backsplashes being made of porcelain, ceramic, and stone tiles, times are changing, and now marble backsplashes are the newest trend. If you want to lend your kitchen a seriously modern and luxurious finish, try out white marbles. Since marble is refined and timeless, it aligns well with metallic touches such as copper and brass. It also adds a chic and elegant feel to your kitchen instantly. If you are looking for a simple farmhouse look, go for the tiny hexagon marble tiles, and if you want to spruce up your kitchen, white or subway grey marbles will do the trick.
Black Backsplashes
The timeliness of black makes it excellent for creating a backsplash that will never go out of style. Go for glossy black tiles with different shapes and highlight them with contrasting white grout to make them pop. Black hues go well with the grey kitchen cabinetry and kitchen units.
However, if you want to create more drama, you can hang your stainless steel cookware such as pots and pans in front of the black kitchen backlash. Black is always trending, and including it in your backlash can make your kitchen look like it came straight from a shelter magazine.
All Colors Backsplashes
Although neutral colors such as white, beige and gray are what we are all used to, it is becoming a trend to use more colors in kitchen backsplashes. From divine black and charcoal grey to splashy yellow and sky blue, any color can be used in today’s backsplashes. Black and charcoal grey tiles help you introduce a personal style and convey luxury. And for an airy feel, white tiles will be great, although you might need to throw in a contrasting grout color to create an unexpected twist. A blue backsplash will create a pleasant yet relaxing ambiance. If you want to display your creativity, you can try combining two or three colors. The current trend is to experiment with different colors, even those you’ve never considered before.
