Inspired Spaces
Blue and Green Kitchen Tile
Two of our favorite hues–green and blue–are becoming increasingly popular in interior design due to their ability to boost serotonin and create connection to the natural world. From pale neutrals to brilliant jewel tones, here are 10 unique tile ideas to inspire you to incorporate blue and green into your kitchen backsplashes and walls.
1. Add Charm With “English Cottage” Patterns
The delicate florals and whimsical shapes of our exclusive Laura Ashley collection tiles embody the cozy charm of “English cottage” style. Here, the Wexbord tiles in Midnight and Fresh Green combine historic prints from the iconic British design company with natural hues. The results are spaces that are both bright and fun, yet as soothing as a warm cup of tea.
2. Add Softness With Curved Tile
Make waves in your kitchen with the Wave Blue Reef tile. The curved edges add softness to your design, and the tile can be installed in a variety of layouts for a personalized look. The offset pattern of this kitchen backsplash creates gentle “pillowy” lines that give this space a sense of movement.
3. Embrace Authenticity With Handcrafted Tile
Zellige tile is popular for its authentic artisanal qualities. Crafted, painted and glazed by hand, each tile is completely unique, creating natural tonal variations on your kitchen wall or backsplash. Our Zellige tiles come in a range of sizes, shapes and colors, including Azul, Turquoise, Shamrock and Dirty Blue (shown here in a petite subway).
4. Incorporate An Ornate Pattern
Gorgeous cream and weathered green come together to create this lovely lace-like pattern from Morris & Co. Inspired by iconic British designer William Morris’s historic wallpaper patterns, the Morris & Co. Pure Net Linen tile creates a soft and sophisticated space. Shop our exclusive Morris & Co. tiles for more historical designs and charming colors.
5. Infuse Your Space With Soothing “Neutral” Tones
This bright and inviting kitchen, designed by A Life Unfolding, is the perfect place to enjoy a refreshing matcha tea. The Glass Green Tea subway tile backsplash is serene enough to serve as a neutral. The color blends nicely with the blonde wood range hood and white shelving.
6. Add a Touch of Blue
You needn’t saturate your entire kitchen in blues and greens if that’s not your aesthetic. A touch of color adds visual texture to your space. This cozy “modern farmhouse” kitchen, designed by I SPY DIY, is case in point; the Look Avio tile used on the side of the kitchen island complements the neutral color scheme while standing out enough to create interest.
7. Embrace a Groovy Pattern
The mesmerizing geometric lines of the Eclipse Azul tile create a striking kitchen backsplash in this modern kitchen. Available in four distinct blue and green colorways, this tile is a homage to mid-century psychedelic style.
8. Infuse Your Space With Natural Colors
Energize your space with natural green tones like those of the lush Hackney Jade tile shown here. This vibrant, handmade-look tile features tonal variations that create movement from piece to piece. Discover more nature-inspired style ideas in our comprehensive guide to “biophilic design.”
9. Make Your Space Shine With Jewel Tones
Invigorate your space with vibrant jewel tones like emerald and sapphire. Here the bright bejeweled hue of the Canatina Blue tile creates a brilliant focal point for the stove backsplash. We love how this vintage-look tile coordinates with the eclectic elements of this kitchen; the leafy wallpaper and dark wood range hood contribute to the unique character of the space.
10. Keep It Cool With a Blue Kitchen Backsplash
The fluctuating tones of the Marrakesh Blue tile create a water-like feel for this kitchen backsplash. The handmade-look tiles vary in color and surface texture, and the glossy finish captures the light as it plays across the surface. The effect is stunning and serene. If you love this tile’s perfectly imperfect appearance, shop our wide assortment of handmade-look tile.
