Backsplash Ideas for White Cabinets

White cabinets with light-colored countertops and flooring give you the pristine look that many homeowners love having in their kitchen. While an all-white look is stunning, pairing the look with a beautiful backsplash can make an even bigger difference. Our designers have an eye for perfectly pairing white cabinets with the right backsplash to create a stunning kitchen design. If you love the a crisp, white look in the kitchen as much as we do then get ready because we’re sharing some of our best ideas and tips to help you make the most of this latest design trend.

Backsplash is one of the easiest elements to add when remodeling your kitchen, and is perfect for giving your design a unique, personal touch. With virtually limitless combinations to choose from, there are several different elements to look at when choosing the best backsplash for white cabinets.

When surveying your backsplash options, you’ll come across many white backsplash ideas. But you can also look for a tile design or pattern that ties your wall color and countertop color to your cabinets and flooring. Or, you can do something dramatically different, such as a cobalt blue alternating brick installation or other types of backsplash material such as marble, granite, glass, and stainless steel. Your tiles can be installed sideways, from top to bottom, and even diagonally, but no matter what style, color, or design you choose, the right backsplash can add visual depth to the look of your kitchen.

With so many options, it can be hard to know where to start, but don’t worry – We’ll go over all of the factors involved in making your selection and look at ways to decide on a backsplash that will seamlessly pull your entire kitchen together.

Kitchen Backsplash Ideas With White Cabinets – Everything you need to know on:

1. Cabinet Door Design

2. Backsplash Installation Styles

3. Colored Grout

4. DIY Backsplash Design Tips

5. Doors & Suggested Backsplash

Now without further ado, let’s get into it!

1. Cabinet Door Design

Let’s take a look at cabinet door designs and how they can help give you an idea of the best backsplash for white cabinets to choose! The ever-popular shaker-style cabinet has crisp, clean edges that partner beautifully with subway tile backsplash. Inset cabinet doors are another go-to that pair well with nearly all backsplash designs. While recessed or flat-panel cabinet doors have a smooth, sleek look that’s perfect for a intricately patterned backsplash.

In one of our latest kitchen remodels (1), you can see how these white shaker-style cabinets show off the white subway tile backsplash beautifully. We took this design up a notch by adding a unique pattern above the stove that acts as a stunning focal point to this modern kitchen.

 

 

 

 

 

The white, flat-panel cabinets in this modern kitchen remodel are paired with a stunning slab of marble-like backsplash. The solid backsplash features a detailed pattern of grey and silver veins that are accentuated by the silver hardware and stainless steel appliances. We’re not going to lie, we think the results are truly breathtaking.

 

If you opt for cabinet doors with more detail and dimension, selecting a slightly raised backsplash can help solidify your look. You can also select neutral colored tile to pull together the color of your countertops and appliances. In this classic kitchen design (2), our designer did just that and went for a beautiful light gray backsplash, along with a unique, neutral colored tile design above the stove.

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure you don’t overlook colors in silver, gold, and copper. The copper look is beautiful, especially if the tone or hue of a wood floor in an otherwise white kitchen is a match.

While not white cabinetry, this design (3) features off-white cabinets that are creamy and dreamy! The stunning, golden-beige backsplash accents the satin cabinet door finish beautifully and subtly pulls out the countertop’s gold veins. We’re also a little obsessed with the under cabinet lighting that allows the backsplash to shine!

Designer Pick: Horizon White Painted Oak

The Horizon White Painted Oak cabinet is an industry known favorite for any kitchen design. You can use just about any design or pattern of backsplash under this cabinet door, and our designers know this better than anyone!

A designer approved tip for how to style this white cabinet is to surround porcelain tile backsplash with a colored grout that picks up a thread of color in the countertop or the wall paint. This will give your kitchen that special touch, worthy of an interior design magazine.

 

 

 

 

2. Backsplash Layout Patterns

We absolutely love fun backsplash paired with white cabinets because you can mix and match colors, patterns, and designs throughout your kitchen to create your own customized look. White cabinets offer the perfect canvas for backsplash to stand out and since backsplash isn’t an essential element to a kitchen, it’s the perfect place for you to add your personal style!

Be bold with your design and choose from numerous layout patterns, each with a unique flair and style, to find the perfect one to fit your vision.  Below are our design favorite kitchen backsplash ideas with white cabinets that are guaranteed to create show-stopping results.

Our Designer’s Favorite Backsplash Layouts:

Herringbone

Offset/Staggered Brick

Horizontal Grid Stack

Diamond 

Basket Weave (Geometric)

These are some of our designer’s favorite backsplash layouts, each with a beautiful pattern, that can be customized to your color scheme, personal style, and more. For more detail on these backsplash layouts, additional patterns, and white backsplash ideas, keep scrolling to read a breakdown on all of the most popular layout styles.

Backsplash Layouts Broken Down:
  1. Herringbone:
    • These are panels set in at 90 degrees to each other, shown in this design above the stove
  2. Offset/Staggered Brick:
    • This is a style very popular in today’s kitchens
  3. 1/3 Offset:
    • Somewhat like the staggered brick, but offset at a third point of each brick
  4. Horizontal Grid Stack:
    • If the staggered 1/3 offset brick is not your thing, try the perfectly aligned look, shown in this design
  5. Vertical Grid Stack:
    • Similar to a horizontal layout, with a vertical stack stack. These panel styles can carry diagonal designs that line up perfectly, but are easy to install
  6. Diamond (Diagonal):
    • This can be used as a central focus point behind an open-top range or cooktop, shown in this design behind a wet bar
  7. Basket Weave (Geometric):
    • A timeless backsplash, uses a mosaic of tiles to create geometric look, shown in this design
  8.  Diamond (Diagonal):
    • This can be used as a central focus point behind an open-top range or cooktop, shown in this design behind a wet bar
  9.  Random:
    • Individual tile pieces that can be used in different colors to create unique designs

You can see more of the above types of backsplash layout patterns and more at the Tile Shop!

Keep in mind that installing individual tiles diagonally may cost you more as you will have to manually cut each of the tops and bottom rows to fit under the cabinet, and below at the countertop edge. There will be some material loss here. This is also true of the chevron installation where edges are cut at 45 degrees to match up to the opposing side.

3. Use Colored Grout to Add Character

Grout can be used for more than just filling the spaces between tiles and when it comes to choosing the best backsplash for white cabinets, one of the lesser known design tricks is to use colored grout! In fact, colored grout can be the perfect finishing touch to compliment your white cabinets and give you a truly one of a kind look.

Since white cabinets already offer a clean base for your kitchen design, spicing it up with colored grout can take your interior to the next level of style. You can choose from grout in complementary colors or vividly contrasting colors to pair with your white cabinets, and even coordinate your grout to match a small detail of color in your countertops!

Grout may be one of the smallest touches in designing a kitchen, but our designers love how the right colored grout can flawlessly complete a design. In this transitional kitchen design, our designer paired dark gray grout with smokey-gray backsplash, white cabinets, and a matte black faucet – And boy did it deliver!

Want to go even bolder? Grout is available in nearly any color, from gold and pink to even orange and blue, there’s a color to complete any vision! Gold is an especially beautiful grout choice and in the design below (1) pairs beautifully with gold hardware and shiny white cabinetry. Contrasting faint pink grout with dark blue tile, shown in this design (2), is a one of kind combination that is certain to turn many heads. Notice the rose gold hardware paired with white cabinets? This subtle color coordination completes this modern and romantic design.

Keep it classic and contemporary with silver grout and platinum tiles, as shown in this design (3), for a stunning, modern aesthetic. Silver grout pairs especially well with stainless steel appliances and hardware, and can create a striking design. Play with even bolder colors like turquoise blue, for a fun and playful design that shows off your personal style! We love how the bright blue grout in this design (4) stands out against the white cabinets and white subway tile backsplash, playing up the other matching blue design elements for a fluid look.

There’s a world of grout and backsplash combinations out there that give you plenty of options for finding the right fit for your kitchen. When it comes to grout, make sure that you, or your installer, does a good job with the fill application and always keep a little extra set aside for grout chip repair, should you need it later.

4. DIY Backsplash Design Tips

If you are a do-it-yourself (DIY) type of homeowner, you can pick out backsplash from a local tile store, or one of the big box hardware companies (Home Depot, Lowe’s), and create your own backsplash design!

There are so many kitchen backsplash ideas with white cabinets to choose from, to find the right one for you, take a picture of your cabinet door and countertop on your phone, grab a color swatch of your wall paint, and head to any tile store to start checking out the possibilities.   See what you can put together while looking at backsplash samples, having these samples with you helps to see how the backsplash will integrate into your current kitchen design.

You can also ask if you can check out sample pieces to take home and see how the backsplash might work with your surroundings. Stores often offer slabs like the ones shown above, so you can see the full design and layout of the backsplash against your countertop and cabinets.

5. Doors and Suggested Backsplash

Mid Continent Cabinetry’s line of wood cabinets offers white cabinets in maple and oak. The Horizon (white painted oak) line offers the following stream-line look that can accommodate just about any backsplash design.

If you have a beveled design in your doors, such as the Princeton White Painted Maple and Oak, or a more complicated design, such as the Cottage White Painted Maple and Oak doors, then your backsplash should have less design that might clash with your door style. See the images below for examples of the designs mentioned here.

From left to right: Mid Continent Cabinetry Doors Horizon White Painted Oak, Princeton White Painted Maple (L) and Oak (R), and Cottage White Painted Maple (L) and Oak (R).

We already mentioned that the door on left end (Horizon) can handle just about any design and pattern you might find. The Princeton oak and maple doors can handle several patterns and designs, but less so than the Horizon. The Cottage oak and maple doors would do better with simple backsplash surfaces with little to no design, such as white porcelain tiles, but could handle contrast colors.

Bonus Tip: Don’t Make this Major Mistake

The eyes are typically drawn to the backsplash area for how it stands out against white cabinets. So be careful not to make the MAJOR mistake of adding a border between your backsplash and countertop. Doing this can create a cluttered look and no one wants that! Instead, opt for the extra time it may take to properly measure or cut your tile and install your backsplash to meet the countertop.

See how in the backsplash design on the bottom left attempts to transition the backsplash to the countertop by bringing the countertop material up about four inches – Making the area look smaller and the design way too busy! While the backsplash design on the bottom right has the tile measured to fit perfectly all the way from the cabinets to the countertop, creating a flawless transition.

Beautiful Backsplash Ideas For Kitchens With White Cabinets

Kitchen and Dining

White kitchen cabinets are classic, but they can be a little bit boring if thought is not put into the surrounding design. Choosing a stylish backsplash that works well with your white cabinetry will not only make your kitchen design gorgeous, but will highlight the classic beauty of your cabinets, too!

Determine Your Color Scheme and Style

Before choosing the perfect backsplash for your kitchen, there’s a few factors that should first be considered.

Are you looking for something modern and trendy? Or classic and refined? Are your white cabinets a stark bright white with cool undertones? Or are they a warmer, creamier white?

Taking these elements into account will help you narrow down the correct colors and backsplash materials. For instance marble will forever be classic and refined and its cool gray tones work really well with both cool and slightly warmer white cabinets.

The trendy Cloe tile that’s everywhere right now has a classic feel but still looks modern and trendy. It’s warmer tones work well with a slighter warmer white cabinet.

On the other hand, you can inject color into a very plain white kitchen with a vibrant patterned or colored tile.

If you’re not quite sure which backsplash design to go with, maybe one of these kitchen backsplash ideas that go with white cabinets will inspire you!

Marble Backsplash Ideas

Embrace cooler tones in your kitchen by using marble for the backsplash. It provides a natural, sleek beauty no matter the design and helps your kitchen feel pristine and luxurious.

For my kitchen remodel, I chose to balance the cooler tones of the marble backsplash and white quartz with warmer tones from brass and wood. It provides the perfect compliment to to the white cabinets and stops the kitchen from feeling cold and sterile.

Take the backsplash right up to the ceiling, whether marble or any other tile, is also a great design feature that packs a serious punch and makes any kitchen look high end.

While marble is always a classic choice, but you’re not limited to the standard brick pattern.

A slab of marble is striking, and makes for easier cleanup since there’s no grout lines! I prefer to use the same material as the countertop, or keep the countertop a solid color similar to the lightest color in the marble and then do a statement marble up the backsplash.

Alternatives to Traditional White Subway Tile

For a basic white subway tile look, it doesn’t have to stay basic. Subway tile is an incredibly affordable option for a kitchen backsplash but it can look really beautiful when laid in a fun pattern or keeping the white feel with different tile shapes.

If choosing white, grout color choice is important. Bring tile sample with you when picking out grout colors to get the perfect match for your kitchen.

White grout ensures a uniform, clean appearance. Darker grout will accentuate the shape of your tile. For marble, many prefer a grout that blends the tiles and doesn’t “frame” the tile. In the end, it’s personal preference as well as the type of look you want to go for.

If you want to stick with plain subway tile for budget reasons, consider adding some decorative tile over your stove to break up the sea of white.

This patterned tile is a subtle blue/gray that looks stunning with white cabinets and white subway tile. Again, similar to my kitchen, note how how the warmer tones from the brass offset the cool tones of the stainless steel, white tile and white cabinets.

Colorful Backsplash Ideas

Concerned all white cabinets will be boring? Add a pop of color! Create a focal point with a bright backsplash of blue, green accent tiles of bright orange. The beauty of white cabinets is that they can go with any color.

Mirrored Backsplash Ideas

Want to add intrigue while making your kitchen space feel larger? Mirrors do both! You can find mirrored tile, or simply have reflective glass custom designed for your mirrored backsplash.

Brick and Stone Backsplash Ideas

Bringing outside inside is one of my favorite elements in decorating. Raw stone, stacked stone, layered brick are all rustic backsplash options that may fit your style perfectly.

Backsplashes can be created with a variety of materials. Think outside the box and maybe you’ll find a material no one else has thought of! Here are some backsplashes made of more unique materials.

Final Thoughts

While choosing the perfect backsplash to work alongside your white kitchen cabinets can be as simple as picking up some cheap white subway tile, taking the time to really think through your vision will ensure your kitchen design really wows.

Whatever you decide, I highly recommend getting samples of everything and seeing how the colors work together. Most tile shops will sell a single piece of tile so don’t be afraid to buy multiples of different colors and textures – you may surprise yourself with what you like the most!

18 backsplash ideas for a white kitchen (you will love it) - INMYROOM

Guide

From the "boar" to the azulejo tiles - the most interesting ideas for diluting the laconic white fronts of your kitchen

White fronts in the kitchen are long gone afraid - the myths about their impracticality have been dispelled, and designers boldly use the universal color in their projects. With the help of an apron, you can make the right accent and transform a laconic set - use one of these ideas.

Azulejo tiles

Designer Daria Vasilkova used bright azulejo tiles on the floor in one of her projects and repeated the same pattern on the apron.

Handmade Blue Tiles

Designer Inna Velichko has chosen luscious blue handmade ceramic tiles for the backsplash.

Design: Inna Velichko

Marbled Porcelain Tiles

This kitchen ditched the top row of cabinets, so designer Olga Chernenko laid out large-format marble-patterned porcelain tiles almost the entire wall.

Ornamented tiles

To make the bright kitchen more dynamic, Mainstreet Сreative Agency designers from Stockholm tiled the splashback with catchy Moroccan ornaments.

White "boar"

Members of our "Hero of INMYROOM" column Anna and Ilya Dobrovolsky designed their apartment in Scandinavian aesthetics and chose for the apron a finish typical for this style - white "boar" tile.

Wood effect glossy tiles

Designer Tatyana Leytan used wood grain tiles with a glossy finish in contrast to the shiny white facades.

Stainless steel apron

Designer Victoria Korotetskaya found an unusual solution in her own apartment: the apron was made from IKEA stainless steel facades. By the way, it is removable: there is a gas boiler in the house, and so it was possible to make access to the equipment.

Design: Viktoriya Korotetskaya Lab21Studio

Graffiti tile

As accents in this kitchen, designer Julia Kalemi decided to make a backsplash with a graffiti pattern from Peronda ceramic tiles.

Fish Scale Tiles

Boho Studio designers combined gray and white fish scale tiles on a backsplash.

Matte black tiles

Anastasia Brandt decided to play on the contrast — matte black tiles on the backsplash stand out against the background of absolutely white facades without handles.

Slate paint

Designer Yulia Chernova painted the apron in the kitchen with slate black paint — it is easy to clean and much more budget-friendly than tiles.

Paper under glass

Maria Makhmudova gave up tiles to save money. “A kitchen apron is ordinary glass, and under it is a geometric pattern that I sketched on a computer and printed on paper,” says Maria. “If you want something new, it’s easy to replace it.”

Mirrors

Olga Vasilyeva used mirrors to decorate the apron. “Thanks to this solution, a feeling of more space is created: the boundaries of the walls dissolve, and the amount of natural light is doubled,” explains the designer.

Geometric tiles

The designers of the Geometrium workshop decided to cover the backsplash with bright tiles with a pattern - they have become the main focus in a bright kitchen.

Colored boar tile with relief

Designer Tatyana Kazantseva preferred pale blue tiles with relief. The interior of this apartment is made in a marine style, and the apron "supports" the idea.

Patchwork tiles

Marina Merenkova used small-sized patchwork tiles in this project, which are combined with a light wood countertop and paint on the walls.

Porcelain stoneware of an unusual shape

And again, the project of Yulia Chernova: this time the designer laid out an apron with wood-like porcelain stoneware of an unusual shape - with oblong corners.

Square tiles

Laconic square tiles are rarely seen on the backsplash, but the designers of the LINES studio decided to maintain the minimalist style in the apartment in this way.

50+ photo examples, practical tips

White in the kitchen is the color of purity, lightness and airiness. The more white in the kitchen, the more spacious and cleaner it seems. A white apron in the kitchen looks prestigious and fashionable and testifies to the sense of style of the owners.

Pros and cons of a white apron in the kitchen

The Total White trend is becoming more and more popular year by year. A white kitchen apron looks stylish, fresh and modern, doing an excellent job of protecting the finish from dirt and moisture. It can only be placed above the work area, stretch to the sink and even capture the space above the stove.

Total White is a popular trend lately.

It will fit well in both a white kitchen and a kitchen with a contrasting base color.

A white apron has a number of advantages:

White splashback looks great in brightly colored kitchens.

Of course, one cannot fail to mention the disadvantages of white in the kitchen. Basically, this is the need for more thorough care. The material for the apron must be selected in accordance with the basic concept of the kitchen.

What material can be used to make a white apron in the kitchen

The variety of materials for creating a kitchen apron is huge despite the stringent requirements for them: it protects walls from dampness, steam, temperature changes, splashes of hot fat, just dirt. Therefore, the material for the apron should be cleaned well and quickly, not accumulate dirt in the pores, and not promote the growth of bacteria.

The apron protects against the wall from moisture, temperature changes, splashes of hot fat, just dirt.

And under such harsh conditions, it can be made from a huge number of materials. Let's look at what materials kitchen aprons are made of, what are their pros and cons, and what style each proposed option suits.

White ceramic tiles

Ceramic tiles are a traditional element in the kitchen: they are durable, easy to clean, and do not deteriorate from exposure to grease and moisture.

There are several ways of laying tiles:

Backsplash made of white ceramic tiles brickwork

Textured tiles

Textured or relief tiles imitate stucco patterns, stone or brick texture, geometric or floral patterns. Luxurious stucco molding on the apron will look great in kitchens decorated in classic, empire, baroque, Greek, etc. styles.

Brick and stone symbolize naturalness and simplicity in cozy rustic styles. They will look brutal and fashionably rude in loft, techno, modern kitchens.

Floral patterns will fit well into eco-styles, Biedermeier style, etc. Geometry is more typical for minimalist Japanese style, modern, Scandinavia.

Glass apron

Skinali or glass aprons have been confidently keeping in the fashion trend for the last few years. They look beautiful, spectacular due to their reflective properties and are easy to care for. White skinals can be glossy and matte, textured and smooth, saturated and translucent.

Glossy glass apron is a great solution for the kitchen.

Skinali will harmoniously fit into the styles of hi-tech, minimalism, Scandinavia, futurism - that is, in those styles in which smooth lines and reflective surfaces come first. Perfectly this finish will be combined with inexpensive plastic kitchen furniture.

Mosaic apron

Mosaic design of the apron, even in monochrome, will look elegant and original. Mosaic will look spectacular, made of a variety of materials:

Sleek mosaic design will look good in eclectic, modern and retro styles. White mosaic patterns in different shades can be used in ethnic and rustic styles.

Wooden apron

If you want originality, a wooden apron painted with white paint will look great in some styles. MDF panels are moisture resistant and easy to maintain and install. They are not recommended to be installed near gas stoves: the material has good flammability. Laminate can be a good alternative to MDF. You can even use natural wood, but the area near the stove will have to be lined with another material.

Wooden apron is a great option for an original work area.

White wood wall decoration is a spectacular option for modern, eco-style and Japanese minimalism. This apron will not be a snow-white color, since in any case, brownish veins will be visible in the wood pattern, which must be taken into account when choosing a color scheme for the kitchen.

Stone apron

White stone apron will add respectability to the interior.

The following materials can be used to create an apron:

The stone wall will organically look in eco-interiors, as well as in rustic, loft, English, Greek, etc. styles.

Plastic apron

Plastic is an inexpensive and very practical wall covering material in the work area. PVC panels are inexpensive, easy to maintain, and look just as relevant as ceramic or glass aprons. This is a good option for modern kitchens. PVC apron goes well with any furniture - plastic and wood.

Plastic is an inexpensive and practical material for finishing a kitchen apron.

Illumination

The white backlit apron looks especially impressive. The most common lighting option is the installation of luminaires with directional light directly above the apron. Such a backlight will allow you to directionally illuminate the work area and will not shine into the eyes of those sitting at the table.

If hanging cabinets are located above the apron, then the lamps placed on the bottom of the cabinets will be more convenient. It is better to choose LED strip for these purposes or fluorescent lamps - they give more uniform illumination. Spotlights are too bright and will reflect unsightly on a glossy surface as blind spots.

Luminaires located at the bottom of the cabinets are a convenient placement option.

For glass skinals, the backlight can be of 2 types:

The most impressive white apron looks with backlight.

In a modern minimalist kitchen with a white monochrome backsplash, colored LED lighting with RGB tape - purple, blue, green, red - will look good. With the remote control, you can adjust the setting of the dynamic mode with changing colors or with other effects, or fixing a specific one color.

What styles would look good with a white apron

The design of the backsplash should be in harmony with the style of the kitchen.

A white apron can fit well into absolutely any style, except, perhaps, Gothic:

What colors go with a white apron in the kitchen

A completely white kitchen with a white apron and some color accents will look stunning. It is harmoniously combined with furniture of any "suit", texture, color and shape. Any accessory will look amazing against the background of a snow-white wall - a chrome-plated microwave oven, a vase of flowers, kitchen utensils.

White color is neutral, it acts as an excellent separator for many shades, so the white screen will be equally appropriate in monochrome gray techno and colorful modern or contemporary. Gray is considered a shade of white: this combination is preferable for modern style interiors: techno, industry, fusion will perfectly accept a white wall in their predominant gray.

One of the best combinations of gray kitchen and white apron.

Contrasting - classic black and red, black and white, red and gray color of the kitchen also allows you to make a white apron.
