11 backsplash ideas we're saving for our dream kitchens.
. Each element had to have a big impact, including our backsplash. Our base cabinets and countertop already had some color and the wall cabinets were white so I decided to go with a white tile for the backsplash to bring the two levels together. I found a subway tile with a handmade texture. I liked it because I knew this was an area that could tell on this DIY project—the organic lines would soften any mistakes when installing.
My husband, Austin and I chose to have the tiles stacked vertically instead of staggered horizontally for a more modern approach to a timeless material. We started by centering the first tile directly under the window by the sink for symmetry. We calculated how many tiles would need to be trimmed in the section we were working on and cut them at the same time to make the process more efficient. That way, we weren’t cutting, adhering, cutting adhering, etc. between every tile.
Once the all tiles were applied with mastic, we let them sit for 24 hours to cure. The next afternoon, Austin grouted while his dad followed with a tile sponge to remove excess grout. It only took a few hours to grout the tile. We had never tiled a backsplash before but stacking the tiles in a grid, using a more forgiving tile, and intentionally laying out the design to be symmetrical made the process less intimidating and even a little fun. All in all, we love the look of our backsplash.
We learned so much along the way from looking at and studying all our options , so here are 11 beautiful backsplash ideas—from traditional to homey and even the unconventional. I hope they can spark ideas of your own.
