]]>One of our favorite design trends is mixing warm and cool neutrals to achieve an inviting and visually interesting space. This luxe kitchen backsplash, designed by @cjuncaj, features the expressively veined Firenze Calacatta tile. With its grey, beige, brown and cream tones, this tile creates balance while making a bold statement.
Give your backsplash a beautiful sense of movement with a marble mosaic. This stunning space, designed by @ckdesignernicole, features the Elia Honed by Alison Victoria tile. The delicate leaf shapes accentuate the grey and taupe veining in the white marble tile, forming a playful and serene backsplash.
Achieve the luxurious “slab” look with a large rectangular marble tile, like the 12″ x 24″ Calacata Evora tile shown here. Larger tile requires fewer grout joints, resembling the appearance of a single slab of marble. You can also obtain the slab marble look with large-format porcelain tile, available in sizes up to 48″ x 48″.
Layering materials adds visual texture to your space. The Palermo Noir Stone Hex tile, featured on this stylish kitchen backsplash, combines rich black marble with small pieces of brushed bronze. We love how the chic bronze accents complement the metal faucet and fixtures.
This kitchen, designed by Timber Trails, showcases elevated modern farmhouse design. The Sampson mosaic tile features an exquisite basketweave pattern of white and beige marble. Paired with open shelving and wooden accessories, this backsplash embodies the cozy-chic aspect of modern farmhouse style. For more ideas on incorporating this design throughout your home, check out this comprehensive guide to achieving a modern farmhouse look.
Love the tone of a cloudy sky? Bring it indoors with an expressive grey tile, like the Bianco Colorato shown here. The soft light and dark grey veining are beautifully balanced by subtle beige tones, creating a harmonious neutral look. We love how this gorgeous grey complements the white cabinets and wood shelves.
Available in a range of sizes, colors and materials, hexagon tile is a retro shape that has found a fresh application in our spaces in recent years. Marble, with its vivid veining–bold or subtle, like the soft grey featured in the Royal White Hex tile—adds a sense of movement to your hexagon tile backsplash.
Glass and marble are elegantly combined in the Northbrook Glass with Black Marquina tile. Created using high-powered jets of water that carve intricate grooves in the hard stone, waterjet mosaics combine natural stone with glass, metal or mother-of-pearl. As an added bonus, the glass in this mosaic captures light, brightening the cooking space.
The worn appearance of tumbled marble is achieved by placing the stone in a rotating drum with rocks, sand and water. The result is a beautifully textured tile that is both refined and rustic. This charming kitchen, designed by Esslinger Design Co., features a backsplash of Meram Blanc Carrara tumbled marble subway tile, which creates an elevated brick wall feel.
Curves and geometric shapes are hallmarks of classic Art Deco design. This style, popularized in the 1920s, has reemerged in the 2020s with a contemporary twist—and we’re loving it! Here, the stylish Christie Volakas mosaic tile, featuring lush marble and gilded metal accents, creates a space that Gadsby would adore.
This V-shaped tile creates a pleasing zigzag pattern that adds a sense of movement to this kitchen. The natural grey veining adds texture, complementing the organic elements, such as the wicker lamp shade and open wood shelving. If you love this classic look, explore our wide assortment of chevron tile.
Make your favorite marble mosaic a focal point by showcasing it in a tiled picture frame. This technique, created using decorative trim to frame a patterned or mosaic tile, adds a highly designed, picturesque element to your space. It’s also a great way to add a touch of luxury while staying within budget.
Elevate the everyday with a luxurious marble subway tile. This crisp and clean backsplash, designed by Timber Trails, features Meram Blanc Carrara subway tile. The soft veining in this winter white marble adds dimension, enhancing standard white subway tile with a touch of elegance.
Bold grey veining adds movement to this opulent backsplash. The Africa Tempesta Wheaton tile features beautiful diamond and chevron shapes, enhancing the dynamic quality of the design. We love how the cloudy grey tile contrasts with the white countertop.

]]>A bar is a great place to showcase your personality. For this bar backsplash, HGTV star Alison Victoria used the Skyline Vintage Patina tile to create a distinct space that fits her bold personal aesthetic. If your style leans whimsical or quirky, browse our full selection of unique tile or patterned tile to find your personal style.
Stylish and easy to clean, glass tile is an excellent choice for a bar backsplash. Available in a wide array of colors and styles, glass tile will add a touch of shine to your space, perfect for a recessed bar or a corner bar that doesn’t get much lighting.
If you’re only tiling half the wall, consider using a scalloped tile to add interest to the edge of your tile. This beautiful gold and green bar uses Gem by Alison Victoria tile for a charming bar area. The rounded edges of the deep green marble soften the design, creating a look as classy as it is chic.
Want a bar, but don’t have any place to build one? Adding a shelf or two (or repurposing some existing shelves) is an easy way to create a drinks station that fits your existing layout. But just because you’re limited on space, doesn’t mean you need to limit your style, install a chic tile (like the Annie Selke Goldleaf Speckle tile shown here) behind your bar shelves and your personality will really shine through.
Add dimension to your wall with a 3-D or sculptural tile backsplash. Tile that literally pops from the wall like the Diamante Negro tile shown here will add interest through light and shadows, for a cool patterned effect that will change as the light shifts in your space.
If you have the space in your basement to install a full sit-down bar (or have an existing bar that needs a facelift), consider tiling the backsplash to match the bar itself. This fun and glamorous bar repeats the Doree Mosaic tile picture frame behind the bar on the back of the seating area. The effect is a stunning and cohesive space.
Add organic texture to your bar backsplash with beautiful natural stone. Travertine and slate tile come in a variety of shapes, textures and colors to fit your space, and since no two pieces of natural stone are alike, you are guaranteed a unique design. We love all the textures at play in the beautiful Harmony Silverleaf travertine mosaic tile shown here.
Create a fun, bold space that showcases your favorite color–or two or three. A checkerboard pattern will add a touch of whimsy to your space while a tricolored pattern like the one shown here using encaustic tiles, adds another layer to your bar backsplash.
Create a space that harkens back to The Prohibition Era with the elegant arches and bold graphic shapes of Art Deco-inspired tile. The gold, grey and white motif in the Lalique marble mosaic perfectly mimics the arches of this decorative bar area, adding to the softness of the space.
If you have the space and the plumbing, a sink will add convenience to your bar area, especially if your bar is far from the kitchen. A tile backsplash is essential for a wet bar, as it will protect against spills and splashes. If you’re looking for something simple that will match virtually any decor, like the Retro Perla tile shown here, shop our full assortment of subway tile.
Turn your bar area into a work of art with a beautiful patterned tile backsplash. Colorful, floral or geometric, patterned tile will protect your walls while still making a statement. We love how the Annie Selke Aylin Black tile makes a statement on this classy black and white bar.
Traditionally used on Roman terraces, Terrazzo tile is known for its distinct flecked pattern. The Terrazzo Bianco Macro tile shown here combines the easy maintenance of porcelain with the authentic look of real Terrazzo. The warm flecks of brown and tan in the tile work nicely with the hardwood features of this bar and add a fun and unique pattern.
This creamy white bar designed by Timber Trails is the epitome of elegance. The Riad White handmade-look tile features subtle shade and surface variation for a subtle sense of movement. The effect is an almost satiny wall. If your style is bright, fresh and clean, shop our full selection of white tile.
Choose a tile that adds depth to your bar with mirrored tile. We love the twist on the classic bar mirror that’s created with the Antique Mirror Bevel tile shown here. The reflection is slightly blurred, capturing only the shapes and colors of the room, for an incredibly unique effect.
Authentically unique handmade Zellige tile, like the Zellige Alabaster Gloss tile shown here, are crafted and glazed by hand for a distinct look from tile to tile. The effect is a bar that embraces modern trends toward unique luxury while celebrating ancient techniques. For true one-of-a-kind character, shop our entire Zellige collection.
