Stove backsplash ideas with style turn a functional feature into a chic one. Whether attention-grabbing because of its material, color, pattern, or texture, or a more understated design, a backsplash can be a beautiful part of the kitchen.

Of course, it’s a hardworking feature, too, protecting walls from splatters, splashes, and grease as you cook, so it’s imperative that a backsplash is easy to clean to make keeping the room pristine an easy task.

Considering the stove backsplash should always be part of your kitchen ideas in order to select a harmonious palette of colors and materials for the room, and we’ve gathered suggestions to inspire you here.

Stove backsplash ideas

The kitchen is a busy space, so stove backsplash ideas must be quick and easy to maintain, resist staining, and keep their good looks after being exposed to splatters, grease, and steam. Be inspired by these examples and draw on the expertise of designers in selecting your kitchen backsplash ideas.

1. Create natural shine

A backsplash can be a striking feature even in subtle neutral color tones and with gentle shine.

‘These kitchen wall tile ideas are wonderfully unexpected,’ explains Kristin Kong of K Kong Design . ‘They look like capiz shells but are back-painted glass. While it would never be practical to use real shells behind a range, these tiles provide the same look with all of the functionality and durability needed in a busy kitchen.’

2. Turn up the volume on color

The limited area of a stove backsplash makes it the spot to choose for a bolder version of kitchen color ideas you’ve used elsewhere in the room. Here, it’s a beautiful lime that draws the eye against a backdrop of cabinets painted in a nature-inspired take on green.

Select a tile with variations of tone like this one and the backsplash will be an even more arresting feature. This tile includes yellower tones alongside the lime hues. 

3. Opt for industrial style

Consider taking your cue from the detail of your appliance as part of your stove backsplash ideas. The metal trim of this iconic design is complemented by a metallic-effect backsplash that repeats its tones.

These tiles aren't actually metal backsplash ideas – in fact, they are porcelain tiles, which is a highly durable option. They’re stain and moisture resistant, and easy to clean.

4. Scale down for standout

Even in a room with an extensive tile backsplash, think about choosing a different design for the area behind the stove to distinguish this zone of the kitchen. In this kitchen the wall white kitchen backsplash idea is contrasted with the smaller scale backsplash above the stove, which features a range of neutral tones that complement the statement hood.

The change from the horizontal lines of the white tile wall to the verticals of the stove backsplash make it distinct, too.

5. Make maintenance simple

In selecting stove backsplash ideas, it’s worth considering how much time will need to be spent on maintaining the appearance of the kitchen. 

‘We like to use solid surface materials as a backsplash behind a stove because grout lines in a tile backsplash can sometimes be hard to keep clean,’ say Mark Williams and Niki Papadopoulos of Mark Williams Design . 

‘In this kitchen, we used the same natural stone for the stove backsplash that we used for the countertops. Because the stove backsplash is so large and prominent in how we see our kitchens, using a beautiful material can add immediate luxury and sophistication.’

6. Give it a modern edge with stainless steel

Whatever the style of your kitchen, stainless steel is worth listing as part of your stove backsplash ideas. It’ll suit a chef’s style kitchen with an industrial aesthetic, but it could equally bring a modern edge to a room with traditional style, and its soft color can blend beautifully into a room with white cabinets and a wood floor. 

It’s also a practical choice as a stove backsplash as it’s hygienic, simple to maintain, and hard wearing.

7. Opt for luxury

Marble’s a desirable kitchen material and using it as a stove backsplash can create a look of luxury in the kitchen.

‘In my old home, I wanted a white marble kitchen,’ says Kara Adam of Kara Adam Interiors . ‘I chose white marble slabs for my island and backsplash, and a Caesarstone for the peninsula (there isn’t a marble slab big enough for that peninsula). By using white marble on the backsplash, you can give the illusion of an all marble kitchen, even if other white materials are used.’

8. Add an accent color

Looking for stove splashback ideas that will prove a sound choice for any kitchen? ‘Keeping your backsplash simple will make the kitchen look and feel cohesive, regardless of size,’ says Andi Morse, founder and principal designer of Morse Design . ‘A simple subway tile always works, but I recommend changing up the color to instantly elevate and impact your space.’

9. Play with pattern

In a kitchen with white cabinets and light-toned wood, stove backsplash ideas that add to the room’s subtle detail are required. The solution in this room is a design with elegant geometric pattern that catches the eye and adds interest without becoming overpowering.

Follow this room’s lead by extending the backsplash from the stove area to the entire run of cabinets to allow a motif like this to make an impact.

10. Showcase organic pattern

The veining of natural stone – and stone lookalikes such as quartz – are fabulous for countertops, but make even more of an impression when they’re used vertically as a stove backsplash.

If using natural stone, make sure that it is correctly sealed to avoid the possibility of staining which will compromise the look of the material.

Do I need a backsplash behind the stove?

A backsplash behind the stove is necessary to prevent the wall becoming marked, stained, or discolored by splatters and grease. It will also protect it from moisture. A backsplash also ensures that when a cooktop is set into a counter there’s no gap between the wall and cabinets below that could allow water to drip downwards.

If you have a freestanding range rather than a cooktop, there will be a small gap between the range and the backsplash. In this case, it’s worth installing a backsplash down the wall a little to avoid any visible wall surface.

What is a timeless stove backsplash?

A tile backsplash is a timeless choice for a kitchen. Subway tile is classic, but consider, too, square tile which has enduring style. As for tile options, both ceramic and porcelain are possibilities, but equally timeless are marble or slate mosaic; the former will create a more opulent effect, while slate might suit a more country style room.

ᐉ Kitchen interior with a stove in a private house


Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of the Russian stove are undeniable. First of all, the nostalgic craving for the past helps designers to make the modern kitchen original, original and especially comfortable. The stove has its positive aspects:

The negative aspects include the following:

Material and finishing of the Russian stove

The choice of design of a house with a Russian stove is determined by the design features, materials used in masonry and cladding. The classic option is brickwork. Unlike cast iron, marble and metal models, the brick structure keeps heat longer. The brick is durable and beautiful even without finishing, it does not heat up to a fire hazardous temperature. Modern brick stoves are represented by three types of structures:

  1. Russian stove with stove bench, firebox, cast-iron hob and channel chimney. This option will ideally fit into the design of a Russian rustic-style house with log or plank walls, a whitewashed ceiling, and embroidered curtains.
  2. "Dutch" - a vertical structure with a small firebox and a chimney, which serves to heat the house. Traditionally lined with painted blue-white or white tiles, it goes well with the interior design, close to the classics of the Russian nobility, as in the photo below.
  3. "Swede" is the most simplified and ergonomic variation of the Russian stove with a hob and a bench.

There are several ways to finish brick ovens. The easiest is to leave the brickwork, additionally treated with protective compounds. In Russia, stoves were coated with clay-based plaster, and then whitewashed. This design looks bright and authentic, especially when decorated with colorful paintings, but soot and soot quickly accumulate on white, and whitewash is difficult to clean. Alternatively, tiles can be used. This method is more expensive, but more durable, and you can choose any color for tiles. You can also decorate the stove with modern materials, including ceramic tiles, facing bricks, wood, plaster, paint, artificial and natural stone (the latter option is unlikely to decorate a house design in Russian, rustic or classical style).

General rules for rustic style

The oven requires certain design solutions. In this situation, the ideal setting for the kitchen would be a design in the style of Russian country. Adhering to its canons, you can harmoniously fit the stove into the interior of the kitchen of a country house.

At the same time, it does not oblige to create the interior of Russian rural life. You can beat this design element in the Tuscan style, Scandinavian country, French Provence.

The following features are typical for the interior of a country-style kitchen:

For each type of country stoves are made differently, and the masonry shows which folk style it belongs to. Let's take a look at some of these styles.

Russian hut

A Russian country style stove should be laid out according to the rules of the stove business, and not look like a banal fireplace. A lounger and a hob will help not only create an interior close to the historical village, but will also be quite functional.

Red, brown, white and yellow hues should be chosen for the design to resemble the rural life of our ancestors. There should be a lot of wood in the interior: in the furniture and finishing of the floor, walls, ceiling. The decor uses textiles with embroidery, dishes made of clay, ceramics, non-ferrous metal, onion braids, a samovar, dried medicinal herbs and wildflowers.

Scandinavian rustic style

Scandinavian stoves are for heating, they are narrow, long, like a pipe, and there are also for cooking, such options are vaguely reminiscent of Russian, only smaller and without a cozy lounger. Kitchens of this style are white, light, with wooden or stone floors. The walls are sheathed in wood or painted white – even the brickwork needs to be painted. Lots of decor in the form of kitchen utensils without a hint of modernity.

American Ranch

To create the interior, fireplace type stoves lined with natural stone are used. The entire interior of the kitchen is made in brown shades: from the color of dark chocolate to coffee with milk. In decoration and furniture there is only stone and wood. The furniture is massive, solid, the kitchen is equipped with heavy chandeliers and a minimal amount of modern appliances.

Tuscan style

An Italian kitchen with a stove can be arranged in a private house. In a room setting, stoves are sometimes built into walls. Most often they work only for heating, but a hearth with live fire is provided in any case. Tuscan cuisine is characterized by stone or wooden floors, light-colored walls or made of brick, stone. There is a lot of brown in the interior, but it does not dominate the whole situation, as it happens in American country.

French country style

Provence is a gentle, cozy rustic destination that is also easy to equip in a kitchen with an oven. Any materials are involved in the decoration of the room: stone, brick, painting, tile, whitewashing - this facilitates the integration of the hearth into the interior. The kitchen looks bright, with bleached furniture, aged floorboards and faded textiles. Provence is characterized by a variety of decor: lace napkins, tablecloths, cushions on chairs, ceramic and copper utensils displayed on open shelves and rails, fresh flowers.

Where to install

In country houses, modern homeowners are increasingly returning the Russian stove to the interiors, since neither kitchen appliances nor various heaters can actually replace the live fire and heat from a real stove. But when the question arises about the location of the stove, there are a lot of some nuances that should be considered when planning the installation of a Russian stove.

Installation in the living room

In this version, the stove becomes the centerpiece of the room interior. That is why very bright and beautiful design options for the stove are most often chosen for the living room, and the stove itself is installed at a sufficiently large distance from the elements of the furniture in the room.

Rustic style living rooms are very popular today, they are quite inexpensive, and at the same time they look very impressive. To create such interiors, for the most part, wooden and metal materials are used, and the furniture does not have any frills and overly elaborate details.

It is worth remembering some nuances:

The interior of the kitchen in a private house (60 photos) - a flight of fancy

A large kitchen makes it possible to realize the most unimaginable design solutions. But it also requires a lot - you need to know what type of layout to choose, how to create a kitchen interior in a private house with a stove, or what style of interior to give preference to. Our material and recommendations will help you in this matter.

To make the kitchen interior in your private house a success, you need to think over everything - from layout to style and content. To do this, it is worth considering several nuances, which we will discuss in this section.

When arranging the room, it is necessary to take into account its quadrature, the presence / absence of a stove and the number of windows

What to pay attention to first of all

The following distinctive features influence the interior of the kitchen of a private house:

A large number of windows and doors visually expand the space and make it brighter, but create difficulties when arranging the headset

Due to the stove, you can very advantageously beat the interior and make it more comfortable. Let's consider them in more detail.

When creating decor, first of all, it is necessary to build on the shape of the kitchen

Light colors will help visually expand a narrow room

When choosing furniture, give preference to shallow cabinets. It is also preferable to use sliding kitchen front systems. You can visually expand the room also due to flooring. Cross stripes, rhombuses - all this will narrow the space, but small design elements - pictures, wall plates will allow you to split the room and visually expand it.

Instead of standard opening doors, it is better to give preference to sliding systems - they take up less space

Square room is easiest to arrange

Layout view

When filling a walk-through room, furniture must be arranged in such a way that it does not interfere with free movement

Interior design

The interior of a private house kitchen can be made in any style - from classic to modern. A significant amount of free space does not limit the possibilities of arrangement.

The design of the kitchen should be combined with the interior of other rooms

During the renovation process, it is desirable to create an interior that would be in harmony with the overall design of the house. As practice shows, in most cases, a rustic style is chosen for arranging a kitchen in a private house with or without a stove. We will tell you a little more about it.

Rustic style helps to bring out the charm of a private house as best as possible

Rustic style in a house

With light colors, a rustic interior allows you to visually expand the space, while natural materials make the atmosphere warm and cozy. This is the reason why he is wildly popular. Among other things, no other interior style can benefit from the presence of a stove in the house.

Instructions for creating rustic style indicate the need to use light natural materials in the process

To recreate all the charm and beauty of the country in your home, you should follow a few simple recommendations for arrangement.

A kitchen with a stove - a unique design in the interior of your home

Ecology of life. Live fire in a Russian stove creates a spiritual atmosphere in the kitchen, and crackling firewood in it adds sophistication to the kitchen interior and creates a mysterious cosiness in the room.

A stove in the kitchen is a return to the past, but in a modern “wrapper”

Arranging a kitchen with a stove, its design and decoration is not an easy task, because a wide range of finishing materials is significantly narrowed due to the peculiarities of the furnace. In order to make a comfortable and cozy kitchen with a stove, you need the right approach and competent selection of materials.

The kitchen is the dominant place in the house. The whole family gathers in it after a working day, not only for eating, but also to share the events experienced during the day. The kitchen of a private house differs significantly from the kitchen in an apartment, primarily in a special atmosphere. A live fire in a Russian stove creates a soulful atmosphere in the kitchen, and firewood crackling in it adds sophistication to the kitchen interior and creates a mysterious cosiness in the room.

Selection of a Russian stove today

It is worth considering the various options for a Russian stove in order to choose the most suitable device. They differ in size and functionality, it is worth taking a closer look at each option.

"Alya-rus"

The "alya-rus" variant was created rather for design purposes, since it combines many classic household items, decorations that are usually associated with Russia, the history of the Russian village. However, there are a number of features here:0008

Design of a kitchen with a stove

For every housewife, the kitchen is one of the most important places, which is why when repairing this room, special attention is paid to its design. The interior of a kitchen with a stove can be very diverse - it all depends on the size of the kitchen, its layout and location, the style of the interior in other rooms and the preferences of the owners. In order for a pleasant atmosphere to reign throughout the house, it must be complete and have a single direction in interior design.

The use of a stove in the kitchen is quite a bold decision, because in addition to aesthetic beauty, it requires proper care

A rustic style is most characteristic of a kitchen with a stove, as the stove fits more harmoniously into it.

A rustic-style kitchen will create a unique atmosphere of warmth and comfort throughout the house, as well as help residents return to their distant childhood and remember their grandmother's house.

Rustic Provence or country style in the kitchen will plunge you into the fabulous atmosphere of childhood, the only difference is that the kitchen will be equipped with modern appliances for maximum ease of use.

Features of the Russian stove

When installing the Russian stove, you will first need to make sure that the foundation of the base of the building can withstand hundreds of extra pounds. Powerful foundation foundations are suitable, for the creation of which they choose brick or concrete. With a pile foundation, additional reinforcement is required, and in this case it is better to completely abandon either the idea of ​​\u200b\u200binstalling a Russian stove, or this type of foundation.

At the bottom of the structure there is a base with an equipped chamber, which is usually used to store various additional functional elements, as well as fuel for kindling a Russian stove. The base allows you to raise the oven for more comfortable operation.

An arch is installed over the base, on which additional sand or clay is poured, and the furnace bottom is installed on it. At the same time, they make a specially small slope to the wall, so that it is convenient to use the furnace of the Russian stove and work with fuel. In addition, this is how the fuel will burn evenly.

The furnace consists of a cooking chamber and a crucible, and in front there is an opening with metal shutters for filling fuel, as well as installing dishes with cooked dishes. If you do not plan to use this oven for cooking, then you should abandon this structural element.

Design of a small kitchen with a stove

Contrary to opinion, even in a small kitchen a stove will be appropriate, the main thing is to arrange everything correctly. In a private house, a small kitchen is not a rarity; rather, on the contrary, it is much more common. And its arrangement entails many difficulties, especially if this kitchen has a stove. In a small area, it is very important to rationally plan the placement of the necessary furniture and equipment. With a competent approach, it is quite possible to equip even a small kitchen space in a cozy and comfortable way.

Visually reduce the appearance of the kitchen too many different patterns and ornaments, so do not get carried away with variety.

A kitchen with a stove in a wooden house

A wooden house certainly has a certain energy that contributes to creating a favorable atmosphere.

The kitchen is one of the main places in the house, so it should be cozy, comfortable and at the same time as functional as possible. The specificity of the kitchen room is that it is subject to frequent pollution due to regular cooking, heating and high humidity. All this can subsequently lead to the formation of indelible stains on interior items. Therefore, in the finishing plan, the kitchen in a wooden house should be thought out in detail.


A wooden house and a stove are just perfect for each other

In order to keep the walls of the working area of ​​the kitchen intact, it is better to use a protective apron. With wooden walls, an apron made of natural materials or MDF with any suitable texture will be in harmony.

Choosing your style of kitchen with wooden walls

Before choosing a particular design option, you should once again pay attention to the following factors:

Every little thing can change the perception of space after wooden walls become the main decoration of the room. For example, a small kitchen in a wooden house will require either bleaching the walls to a soft pink shade of beech wood, or completely getting rid of wood-like wall decoration.

Otherwise, a small room will be visually perceived as tiny, and you can get rid of this effect only by completely re-cladding the walls. How to sheathe a kitchen in a wooden house? Yes, it’s very simple, you can use lime veneer panels or even ordinary photo wallpapers pasted on OSB boards.

Folk or antique style kitchen

For spacious kitchens with square or close proportions, you can choose a folk style. The walls of the kitchen in a wooden log house are very organically combined with specific angular furniture, shelves and lots of dishes, bunches of grass and necklaces of dried mushrooms and fruits.

Get the interior of the kitchen in a village house of the last and the century before last. Instead of a small cooking room, you get a kitchen-studio and a dining room under one roof.

A classic solution is the interior of a kitchen in a country house with a stove. Half of the room is given over to a stove, usually Russian, brick, bleached with lime.

If there is not enough space, then the design of the kitchen in a wooden house with a stove can be rebuilt in a modern manner, instead of a huge brick colossus, a small cast-iron stove-fireplace can be installed.

At the same time, the device of the "folk" kitchen-studio remains very comfortable and functional, despite the absence of the usual kitchen set and countertops. Most of the kitchen work is done on a huge oak table located in the center of the room. The table itself adds detail to the interior of a country house kitchen and at the same time serves as a piece of furniture for dining or relaxing with the whole family.

American version of the kitchen in a wooden house

If we are talking about a wooden frame house with interior trim of tongue and groove boards and clapboard, then you can try to decorate the kitchen in the American style.

In this case, the decoration of the kitchen in a wooden house is carried out in the simplest and most affordable way:

Rustic style for the kitchen

When creating a rustic style, only environmentally friendly building and finishing materials are used, this is its main distinguishing feature. The most commonly used wood, natural stone, metal and ceramics.

Comfort and simplicity characterize the country-style kitchen.

Even in such a seemingly modern style as modern or high-tech, the stove can fit perfectly into the interior

The stove in the kitchen does not have to be white - it can be lined with stone, tiles and other finishing materials

Rustic style, depending on national preferences, can be divided into:

Interior images may differ in national accessories, having a common direction in design. Accessories will help to correctly place the necessary accents in the interior of the room.

In a Russian hut, the stove has always occupied a central place. This trend has continued to this day with the creation of a rustic style in the kitchen. For such a kitchen, the presence of a Russian stove is mandatory, which determines the tone of the future design.

When creating a rustic kitchen in an apartment, it is better to use an imitation or a modern fireplace stove.

The stove in the kitchen can even serve as the main element around which the interior of the entire kitchen will be “built”. The entire interior of the "rustic" kitchen can be subordinated to only one detail - the Russian stove. Its presence creates a unique atmosphere and comfort in the house.

In addition to the presence of the main accessory - the Russian stove and natural materials, the color scheme in which the interior design will be made is very important for a rustic-style kitchen. The rustic style is characterized by calm, light colors, accents are placed with the help of bright spots, in the amount of which it is very important to observe the measure. Most often, shades of brown predominate in such interiors, wooden furniture with an antique pattern is chosen.

If you want to bring the interior closer to the classic, then the stove should be either white or lined with brickwork

Finishing the working area in the kitchen requires a number of conditions. Culinary processing is a process that has a diverse and very strong effect: there is steam, and cold water, and splashes of hot fat, and dyes.

So not every material is suitable for a kitchen apron.

Requirements for kitchen backsplash

Finishing must meet very high practical and aesthetic requirements at the same time. The hostess spends a lot of time in the kitchen, and if the person preparing lunch and dinner is surrounded by ugly worn-out items, the furniture is inconveniently located, and it is impossible to wash stains of grease and soot from the wall near the stove, you can forget about delicious dishes.

Ceramic tile for finishing the work area

This option can be safely called the most traditional and most popular. The “fault” for this is an extremely successful combination of user qualities, exceptional diversity and quite affordable cost. The main feature of the material is its low porosity. And since there are no pores, moisture will not be absorbed and bacteria will multiply.

This option has a lot of advantages, so this lining is being made and will be made for a long time to come.

The disadvantages of a ceramic tile backsplash include the complexity of installation. The tile is not flexible, so the surface for ceramics must be perfectly flat. Yes, and styling is best done by professionals, there are a lot of subtleties in this matter.

Mosaic - a stylish option

Quite often, for lining a small kitchen, they suggest choosing a mosaic: a panel or ordinary masonry of small elements - 5 * 5, 7 * 7 cm. As a rule, ceramic tiles act as the basis, although you can use glass, a mirror or metal. Which option is better depends, rather, on the design of the kitchen. However, ceramic mosaic retains all the excellent properties of tiles, but with some reservations.

The decorativeness of the variant is undeniable: it is much easier to lay out a mosaic in the form of a complex ornament. And mosaic images will definitely not seem boring or trivial. In addition, unlike tiles, perfect alignment can not be achieved here: the elements are small and easily hide small defects.

The photo shows a ceramic mosaic.

The weak point is the seams between the tiles. Grout, unlike ceramics, does not differ in hygiene and accumulates more dirt. But when laying large tiles, this disadvantage is minimized, but when laying mosaics, you will have to do additional processing of the seams, at least with a sealant. Moreover, expert reviews indicate that the grout loses its moisture-resistant qualities over time, so it must be periodically removed and the seams re-sealed, which, of course, I would not want to do.

Natural and artificial stone

This name hides a lot of materials, and not all of them are suitable for the kitchen. The fundamental difference is the number of pores and the ability to absorb water. Material with minimum values ​​is allowed. Which one is better is determined by the distinguishing features.

But marble, no matter how impressive it looks, is not suitable for lining a kitchen backsplash: the material is porous and absorbs dirt. Polishing reduces this effect, but in itself such a surface is short-lived.

The main disadvantage of this option is not even the cost, but low maintainability. If the panel is damaged, it will have to be replaced. The installation of stone is also not an easy task: the material is very heavy, requires special glue, and size adjustment is almost impossible, with the exception of clinker tiles.

Aprons made of steel

This is an option for a modern kitchen in the style of techno, minimalism, high-tech, where the utilitarian nature of the material is considered its best advantage. The custom finishes are excellent, although the decorative ones are noticeably lower.

As the reviews indicate, it is still possible to scratch the surface, and even abrasive products destroy the glossy finish. But if you choose a matte and embossed steel tile and make an apron out of it, this feature loses its meaning.

Glass aprons

Only impact-resistant or tempered glass can be used for this option, as ordinary glass is too fragile. The material is extremely popular, because it is not only decorative in itself, but also provides a lot of other design options. Glass can serve as a protective screen for any finish - from silk wallpaper to wine corks or solid wood, as in the next photo.

The disadvantage of the solution is the complexity of installation and cost. To make the work area completely safe, the apron is mounted from a single piece of glass. And with a fair weight of this material and size, its installation is very difficult. Only specialists can install a glass kitchen apron. The cost is also determined by the material: the procedure for tempering glass, and even more so triplex, is an expensive process.

Plastic aprons

Plastic is an extremely versatile material, so several options can be included in this category.

Panels are quite suitable for finishing other walls, as they tolerate the general temperature in the kitchen. But at the same time, another factor should be taken into account: plastic, even self-extinguishing, belongs to combustible materials, and at a heating temperature above + 80–110 degrees Celsius, it is irreversibly deformed.

According to expert reviews, such cladding is allowed in a kitchen with an electric or induction stove, where the heat is still less.

MDF trim

No less dubious option than plastic cladding.
