The dreamy kitchen backsplashes inspired from basic color and material to used in the kitchen. Not only countertops and cabinets, but how to decorate the dreamy kitchen with kitchen backsplashes. Design experts weigh in on the best options for any style and budget.
Be Confident With Color
A backsplash is the finishing touch that can make or break the room. “So often I come across backsplashes that aren’t in sync with the rest of the kitchen,” laments Jamie, “and that’s a missed opportunity to make a big statement.” For this space, Jamie chose a mustard-yellow and oxblood-red pattern to accent the Mediterranean decor.

Backsplashes can used to divider
A backsplash can also be used to separate one area of a room from another. In this modern home, Jamie brought in stainless tile to designate a butler’s bar within the oversized kitchen. The tile evokes a hip lounge — perfect for those who love to entertain.

Incorporating one material throughout a room is a great way to unify the design and establish a distinct focal point. For this contemporary kitchen, Jamie Herzlinger used large slabs of marble to create a monolithic look, thus allowing the dark cabinetry and floors to pop.

Classic Look, Designer Lauren Muse of Muse Interiors
A classic approach to designing a backsplash, both in material and color selection. White porcelain keeps kitchens looking bright, clean and contemporary. Cabinets and countertops in the same hue make for a unified look.
Switch It Up of Color trends change by the season, but a neutral backsplash remains timeless through the years. Says Lauren, “With a neutral canvas, you can give your kitchen a new look simply by swapping out the accessories.” For this space, Lauren chose clear glass brick tiles and let the polished nickel accents take center stage.

Carrara Marble for Backsplashes
A smaller budget doesn’t have to mean a sacrifice in style. Graphic designer Jen Ramos selected honed Carrara marble for her backsplash, which she found at Home Depot and installed via independent contractor. “There’s something really cool about marble,” she explains. “It never loses its appeal, plus it holds up over time.” Photo courtesy of Jen Ramos
Make a Splash With Metal
Design blogger and fine artist Nicole Cohen had her work cut out for her when she took on a gut renovation of her apartment. She selected miniature stainless steel tiles for the backsplash, which gave an industrial edge to the Calcutta countertops and white lacquer cabinetry in her kitchen. A twist on traditional subway tile, the metal is modern and easy to keep clean. Photo courtesy of Nicole Cohen and Emily Anderson
Go White, Go Bright
For this Hamptons home, Michele Devon Kamali of Lavender & Plum Interiors wanted a backsplash that was luxurious but not overly ornate. She chose matte glass tile, which complemented the white of the granite countertops and offset the sweetness of the pastry pattern in the shades. Says Kamali, “When in doubt, choose white. It’s always in style, even if the rest of the room isn’t.” Photo courtesy of Michele Devon Kamali
