8 Stunning Glass Tile Ideas for Kitchen Backsplashes
Looking to add brightness and sophistication to your cooking space? Beautifully reflective glass tile is a perfect choice. Read on to discover eight kitchen backsplash tile ideas that will make your space shine.
1. Elevate Your Design With a Glass-Marble Mix
Tile that combines two or more materials will bring complexity and visual texture to your space. Here, the Divisa Storm tile elegantly blends marble and glass for a striking design. The marble veining, along with the chevron pattern, infuse the space with a sense of movement that complements the woodgrain detail of the shelf.
2. Cast a Romantic Glow
The Patina Gilded Mirror tile casts a golden hue in this luxurious kitchen, designed by Kelli Fontana Vogelgesang. The gold mirrored tile features a beautiful coloration, creating a soft, romantic effect. If you love this chic, whimsical style, explore our exclusive Kelli Fontana designer collection.
3. Infuse Your Space With Beachy Blue
The brilliant Glass Sky Blue Amalfi tile fills this space with a soothing coastal tone. The charming pastel evokes the tranquility of a bright day at the beach, perfect for creating a cheerful design.

4. Incorporate a Stunning Picture Frame
A tile “picture frame” is created by framing a decorative tile with trim pieces, such as Hixtons and Somersets. This makes a perfect centerpiece for your glass tile backsplash. Here, the expressive blues and greys in the Blue Twilight Brick tile enhance the elegant grey veining in the Hampton Carrara Chevron tile, resulting in a highly designed, cohesive space. Achieve this effect by layering trim pieces to highlight your favorite mosaic or patterned tile.
5. Create Movement With a Chevron Pattern
A dynamic shape, combined with striking color variation, infuses this space—designed by A. Dorazio—with a lively sense of movement. We love how the grey, beige, and white tones in the Alato Beachwalk Chevron tile coordinate with the white cabinets and grey-veined white marble countertop.
6. Add Serene Neutrals
The Santos Beach tile‘s blue, grey and beige tones convey a calm coastal landscape. The combination of warm and cool neutrals adds a tranquil, yet visually complex, backdrop to this contemporary kitchen.
7. Choose a Mirrored Tile to Reflect Your Personality
Brighten your cooking space with mirrored glass tile. The Antique Mirror Bevel tile shown here reflects light, adding extra illumination to this stove backsplash. Designed by Timber Trails, the kitchen features this standout tile only on the top half of the backsplash to avoid overwhelming the space—we think they struck the perfect balance.
8. Add Hex-cellent Dimension
The hexagon is a classic shape that’s experiencing a resurgence in the interior design world. Here, the Posh Brushed Silver mosaic tile creates a lustrous backsplash. If you love this timeless shape, shop our wide assortment of hexagon tile.
