It’s no secret that tile backdrops have become trendy. Placed delicately together in a pattern, be it cheeky or classic, they have a timeless look that can infuse your home with style. They also add texture to the space to give it a more dynamic look. While backsplashes are popular behind the sink or above the toilet, they aren’t limited to those areas. In fact, placing them in unexpected locations, such as in a counter-to-ceiling column behind the stove or the shower, has just as much appeal.

A tile backsplash can enhance the overall appearance of your home in whatever way you choose to use it. With the right pattern, color, and design, you can create a stylish space that’s sure to garner loads of compliments from followers, family, and friends.

Green Marble

Marble backsplashes are an elegant addition to any kitchen, especially in a deep jade color. The sleek design and bold shade create a luxe look that’s hard to ignore. When created with quality marble, they even add value to your kitchen. To complete the ambiance, try using under-cabinet lighting that will give the marble an illuminated look.

Quick mini bathroom update. I kicked my husband out of his bathroom (sadly now shared with me) so that we could give this one to our daughter. I used @The Smart Tiles for the backsplash wall and painted wood trim to match, using double sided tape to adhere it to the wall. Bathroom isnt complete but its a start! #minidiy #rentalfriendlyreno #homeimprovement #smarttiles #bathroommakeover #toddlerbathroom #kidbathroom #diyproject #apartmenttherapy

Pretty in Pink

Pink is quickly becoming a sought-after shade for home renovations. Though the color is unexpected, it creates a bold backsplash for bathrooms and kitchens. If you’re looking for a fresh way to add color to your home, consider using a seashell-pink hue with varying tones for a multi-dimensional look.

Subway Tile

The subway tile look is one of the most common backsplash styles because of its versatility. It creates a modern look, whether placed in the shower or the kitchen.

Sage Green

A fresh coat of paint is an easy and affordable update. If your home already has a backsplash, try using this creator’s technique and hand-painting the tiles with a trendy shade, like sage green or butter yellow. Not only will you give the tile a new look, but you’ll also be adding a pop of color to the space.

Bronzed Marble

Peel-and-stick tiles are perfect for apartments and allow you to update a room without renovating. They even offer a wide range of designs and looks to fit any style. The combination also means you can opt for a luxe design, like this marble look with bronze brush strokes, for a fraction of the price and have a finished project in one weekend.

Floral Design

While this backsplash requires patience and a lot of time to assemble, the finished look will turn your kitchen into a work of art. It features an intricate flower garden design with tiny cream tiles as the background. Give the design details; it’s best to create slabs that can be adhered to the wall in sections rather than one tile at a time.

Marine Blue

Emerald and jade greens are popular for backsplashes, but they are not the only shades that can deliver a bold look. A vibrant marine blue has just as much appeal, especially when used in the bathroom. The key to pulling off the ocean blue hue is selecting a tile that’s as shiny as it is vivid, as the combination nods to the serene look of the sea.
