Contemporary Backsplashes For Kitchens

Today we are talking about the kitchen backsplash, a staple that has become a statement piece in recent years. We love all of the creative ways that designers are using materials to create a unique backsplash. These are our favourite inspired ideas for your backsplash in 2019.

Interesting Shapes – It’s needless to say that hexagon tile is popular, but we will say it anyway! Although subway tile is going strong and still versatile, we love the many modern and contemporary tile shapes we see happening in kitchen design (and even bathroom design).

Colour is back! Not for the faint hearted but so pretty! We are happy to see colour making it’s way back into the backsplash with bold saturated hues.

All the way up… to the ceiling that is. The backsplash is going as high as it can, and it makes for a dramatic statement in your kitchen!

Try a mural. For the boldest of clients perhaps but what a result. If you want a piece of art in your kitchen, why not make it happen with your backsplash?

Have some fun with pattern. Even subway tile is being installed in new and interesting ways but we especially love some of the new modern patterns we see popping up in kitchens.

The great news is, anything goes! We love how unique and beautiful each of these examples is, and this is just a small sample of what’s out there. Have fun choosing a backsplash, it is another way to get creative in your home.
