Kitchen Tile Design Ideas for 2022

We’ve all been victims of the kitchen mess. A bubbling pot, a pan that splatters, a dropped bowl—make cleanup easier in all of these situations with tile that protects your kitchen surfaces. Whether on the backsplash, the walls, the floors or all three, one of the best properties of tile is how easily it wipes clean. Tile is versatile enough that you’ll always find one to coordinate or contrast with your cupboards, counters and existing decor.

Make sure your favorite tile stands out to everyone by accenting it in a frame.

2022 Kitchen Tile Design Trends

Often what’s trending in design is trending in tile, too. In 2022, we’re seeing lots of hexagons, dark, dramatic colors, like navy blue, dark green and black, brick looks, patterned or encaustic tiles and mixed metallics. Classic subway tiles are still popular but colors besides white are starting to make appearances, keeping this look fresh and interesting. Patterned tiles, especially if they are used up to the ceiling to cover an entire wall, give your space the look and feel of wallpaper in an easy-to-care-for material. Glass splashbacks, which are large pieces of tempered glass that usually have a pattern or print, are popular in Europe and have begun making their mark in the United States. Use these eye-catching pieces to make a statement over a stovetop or behind a sink.

Mediterranean cobalt blues and floral-inspired patterns make this kitchen patchwork effect memorable.

A dimensional tile with configurations that intrigue is a welcome sight at the end of the day.

A cool, calming and neutral kitchen overflows with patterns, mixed materials and points of interest upon closer inspection.

Subway Tile Accents

Popular but always classic, subway tile is a perfect choice for any kitchen. Keep the look fresh and original in a bold color, a unique pattern or with a contrasting grout color. One of the best things about subway tile is the variety of patterns in which it can be installed. A neutral color installed in an unexpected pattern makes a big statement.

Add a twist to your subway tile design by installing a textured tile in a unique pattern.

Tile Mosaics

Mosaics are often used on the backsplash because they are made up of small-scale tiles, perfect in this space, but don’t be afraid to create a whole accent wall. Use glass, marble, ceramic, porcelain and mosaics made with other materials to add pops of color, shine and shape to your kitchen.

Mosaic tiles are an effective way to add interesting lines to a white wall.

Get creative with unorthodox shapes and sizes that will make your walls stand out.

Backsplashes are not only functional, protecting your walls from splashes and spills, but they are fashionable, too. Think of your backsplash as the jewelry to your kitchen—that little bit of sparkle that completes a look. Have fun, and get creative with your backsplash while you protect the area around your sink, range and countertops. Glass, textured tile, metallic tile, mosaics—in a wide variety of options, there’s a backsplash tile to reflect your unique style.

Your kitchen backsplash is a perfect opportunity to add a pattern that really pops.

If your kitchen cabinets and countertops are white, consider a tile design that will add some personality.

65 Gorgeous Backsplash Ideas for Your Next Kitchen Makeover

Ready for a kitchen refresh? You don’t have to put a sledgehammer through the wall to give your space a new look. Sometimes it’s simply a matter of adding tiles and a fresh coat of paint, et voilà! And when it comes to home improvements, nothing makes a kitchen stand out quite like a backsplash. Whether it’s a cheeky patterned inlay, an unexpected metallic backdrop, antique ceramic gems, or classic white subway tiles, the perfect backsplash can be the final touch that brings your design scheme together for the cooking space of your dreams. So wherever you fall on the chef spectrum (no judgment, HelloFreshers), here are 65 inspiring ideas from designer spaces that will make the hub of the home the heart of your home.

1

Tiles on Capri

Nathalie Krag

Some backsplashes speak to a time and place in a big way. Case in point: these wavelike majolica tiles, which invoke the island surroundings of this midcentury villa on Capri. These tiles, custom-made by Galleria Elena, were reproduced in the likeness of some found at Capri’s Villa Torricella, the stately former home of the American expats Kate and Saidee Wolcott-Perry in the early 1900s. Talk about a backstory!

2

Classically Inclined

James Merrell

There’s nothing more classic than white glazed subway tile, an elegant solution for nearly any interior style—and the kitchen of this idyllic retreat on a remote Scottish island is proof that this simple design passes the test of time. With a custom hood and a peacock blue–painted vintage table (not to mention the pop of red flooring), this color palette brings in all the romance of its illustrious history—with a dash of pizzazz.

3

Art Deco Deluxe

Thomas Loof

For those going all out on glam style, there’s just one oft-repeated word of caution: Too much can sometimes be, well, too much. But designer Bradley Stephens—who incorporated his first muse, Art Deco banks, into this Manhattan apartment—knows when to rein it in. So of course this subtle backsplash offers a stabilizing neutral blue-toned background to the dramatic patterned flooring and vintage brass pendants. A weightless backdrop to the main act, we give a (metaphorical) round of applause to the true star of the space.

4

Black Backsplash

Ema Peter

We love how this bold kitchen turns informality on its head, merging postmodern-inspired lighting with charcoal-colored tiles that create a cozy Pacific Northwest feel, West Vancouver, British Columbia–style. The backsplash brings the dark hues throughout the room together, linking the black back-of-the-island block to the delicate pendant lines.

5

Harlem History

Stephen Kent Johnson

Did you hear? Pots and pans are the new wall art. The owners of this 18-room townhouse added modern appliances but kept the patina of the room’s existing subway tile. With chairs made from recycled Coca-Cola bottles by Emeco, this room is anything but dated—albeit, not without a nod to its treasured Harlem history, backsplash tile considered.

6

Green and Copper Hamptons Home

Thomas Loof

This dreamy summer home is brimming with East Hampton energy, complete with a vintage tole chandelier and Palecek kitchen chairs. The copper hood and pots almost glow against the horizontally stacked bright white tile. The high-contrast scheme plays well with the seafoam-green cabinetry—a refreshing deviation from the ubiquitous Hamptons scheme of blue, white, and gray.

7

Bold and Bright

Officine Gullo

Officine Gullo’s design of this farmstead-turned-luxury hospitality space, Tenuta Carleone in Radda, Italy, is honing all the vibes of its bucolic setting. Patterned tiles create a stunning mosaic that is bordered by warm sunshine-yellow cabinetry with stainless steel appliances and polished chrome hardware. With an abundance of natural light shining through the arched windows, the kitchen is a sun-splashed utopia.

8

Rustic Luxury

Stephen Kent Johnson

This 300-year-old historic home, property of Restaurateur Rose Bonura, is a study of contrasts: past and present, black and white, rustic and modern. Which is why these Shaker-style paneled cabinet doors really sing, accented by the large white tile backsplash that is satisfyingly proportioned for the expansive room.

9

Color-Splashed

Eric Piasecki

Though designer J. Randall Powers’s clients favored white cabinets in the kitchen of their Houston home, he gave them only half their wish, painting the lower cabinets and an island in a bright green strié. The tile, however, honored their wishes, adding humility to the room and a touch of gloss that stands out against the kitchen’s matte finishes.

10

Dome Home

Trevor Tondro

Talk about an unconventional build. This 1970s geodesic dome home required a custom build of everything, including this Heath tile backsplash, a refreshing square motif that creates variety in this dome world of triangles, octagons, and pentagons. This is giving us serious Harry Gesner nostalgia.

11

Maroon Meals

laure joliet

We could get comfortable in a kitchen like this, with a sweeping merlot-maroon backsplash that acts as the focal point of the room. The Mosaic House tiles from Mission Tile West are proof that you don’t need a bright color to make a pop in a room.

12

Playful Glamour

Björn Wallander

The kitchen is generally considered the neutral zone—anything but in this classic Park Avenue apartment. These large white backsplash tiles mirror the floor stripe width. All set against an invigorating palette of baby blue and pastel yellow that pops against the bright white. It’s as welcoming as it is soigné.

13

Half Hex Stack Tiles

David Land

We can hardly fathom a former rendition of this kitchen that doesn’t involve a colorful backsplash. But believe it or not, the rich green Heath ceramic Half Hex Stack tiles in this Brooklyn townhouse kitchen were once humdrum developer-installed white subway tile. Thank the design gods for Danielle Fennoy of Brooklyn-based Revamp Interior Design, who had the vision to gussy this room up with an audacious backsplash that honors the homeowner’s design mantra, “whimsical but not insane.” Challenge accepted.

14

Seafoam and Squares

Ryann Ford

It’s the black-bordered tile that really gives this Austin ranch house the charming Texas kick we know and love. Referencing both southern and central Texas roots as well as the easy-living houses of Southern California, this calming, light-filled home balances earthy textures with bursts of color and pattern.

15

Blue and White Spanish Tiles

Ricardo Labougle

A step into this kitchen is as much an adventure as the seaside vistas just beyond its walls. A melting pot of periods and places—with varying colors, layering, mixed patterns, and natural elements—this villa is a fitting salute to the rich history of the Spanish island of Menorca. In this space, that blue-and-white Spanish tile, carried across the cabinets themselves, is artwork in its own right. ¡Increíble!

16

Bold and Bright

Eric Piasecki

Designer Ellie Cullman (with Cullman & Kravis) was not afraid to take some chances here, with this stunning hexagon backsplash by Studium, which provides a satisfying distinction from the pops of yellow throughout this New Jersey family kitchen. The hood range ties the color scheme together in a resulting fanfare of color and contrast.

17

Black, White, and Icy Blue

Red Motifs

20

Tiled Backsplash, Counters, and Shelves

Undine Pröhl

Don’t just stop at your backsplash when applying tiles. Continue it onto your countertops and shelves, like in hotelier Carlos Couturier’s kitchen—clad in Portuguese tiles—in his home on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, designed by LeCoadic-Scotto.

14 best kitchen backsplash tile ideas • inTrends

The kitchen must have an backsplash. It is a protective material covering the walls of your kitchen and protecting them. Cooking can be messy, and cleaning can lead to stains when washing. The back panel maintains the beautiful look of the kitchen walls and also makes cleaning easier.

Today, home designers have turned this functional part of the kitchen into something decorative. Therefore, regardless of how much the finish covers the wall, you need to choose the right material. It should be both functional and complement the look of your kitchen.

The tile color options below will inspire you to renovate your kitchen.

Orange Kitchen Tile Ideas

Intense orange backsplash to add a pop of color to your kitchen. It works great if you have white or black kitchen cabinets and a neutral floor. The simplicity of everything else will make the orange color bright.

However, be careful when using "orange" if you want your apron to remain the center of the room. Since in combination with other colors, you will get an overwhelming and annoying space.

Kitchens in black, white and orange tend to look sleek and modern. In contrast, orange-woody kitchens create a warm and earthy feel that can be described as cozy.

White Kitchen Tile Ideas

If you absolutely love a white kitchen, you'll need white cabinets, counters and a backsplash. However, as with any all-white room, you need to add texture and depth, otherwise the space blends into a blinding white wall. Your apron is the perfect place to add visual interest.

Use a smaller white tile and texture with your choice of pattern and grout lines in between. Another option is to choose backsplash tiles with a textured pattern on the tile itself. It can be a three-dimensional square tile that creates a sense of volume.

Herringbone and Hexagon Patterned Kitchen Tile Ideas

The most popular material used to create a backsplash is tile. This is because it is affordable, versatile, durable and easy to care for. If you need a tile backsplash, the first step is to decide what type, size, and color you want to have in your kitchen. Most people choose ceramic tiles for their beautiful appearance and durability.

Consider the amount of grout required when choosing the tile size. The more grout, the more it will take care of it. This may make the mosaic unacceptable to you. If you want more pattern and texture, consider modern designs such as a herringbone pattern or a hexagonal tile shape. For an elegant and simple look, choose a larger one with minimal grout poses.

Rustic Kitchen Backsplash Tile Ideas

Indulge in a rustic vibe with perfectly laid or matched stone. Or create a brick apron from recycled bricks. It can be beautifully aged, creating the atmosphere of an unfinished wall. If brick isn't your style, why not try natural stone walls? Stones come in a variety of shapes and sizes, they all fit together perfectly and will give your kitchen that country house feel.

Another great option for a rustic kitchen is a beaded apron. This DIY apron will give your kitchen a real farmhouse look. Get a ready-made panel with beaded tiles. All you have to do is mount it to your kitchen wall. Then paint in any color.

Natural Stone Kitchen Tile Ideas

If you already have a marble countertop, why not continue the look with a marble backsplash? It will create a continuous flow of precious stone throughout the kitchen. It also goes well with granite countertops.

The use of stone tiles as a backsplash creates a modern luxury and understated look. A material that softens the color palette while creating an effect and a sense of texture.

The kitchen will look light and bright with white stone, dark gray or even black tones will give a darker look to the room. A stunning accent is achieved by using a stone with a large number of veins that break the monotony of color.

Ideas for gray kitchen tiles on backsplash

A gray backsplash on the wall is the perfect neutral balance between light and dark. A versatile color that pairs beautifully with any other color, making it the perfect base color for your kitchen. Tiles or stone will last a long time and save on future repairs. If necessary, replace with other elements that are more accessible as your tastes change.

If you have a luxury kitchen, consider using more expensive materials such as granite or marble. Look for one that has the right amount of veining and color variations. For a rustic or country look, use rough-hewn stone with rough edges in various shades of grey. A modern or minimalist kitchen will look great with gray square ceramic or fiberglass tiles.

Classic Kitchen Tile Ideas

Old is new these days and you'll create the perfect modern vintage backsplash using classic white tiles. It is rectangular in shape, bright, smooth, durable and easy to clean. Kitchen walls with white tiles are quite neutral, harmonizing well with a wide range of interior design themes.

The classic approach is to use white rectangular tiles and place them lengthwise horizontally. But you can also deviate from this decision to give the kitchen an individual look. Create the illusion of higher walls by placing them vertically up to the ceiling. Another option is to lay them out diagonally, in a herringbone or chevron pattern. You can also choose a different tile color and alternate it with the main tone.

Black tile backsplash ideas

A black backsplash can do a lot for your kitchen. Just because black is a dark color, don't think tile is a bad option. Use color to your advantage by strategically creating visual depth. Lay black wall tiles between the counter and wall cabinets. Thanks to this, the wall will visually look further, and the whole kitchen will appear larger. The dark color harmonizes with stainless steel appliances, creating a stunning color contrast.

Since black is a neutral color, you will find it in a variety of materials and it will give you many different ideas. It can be black quartz countertops, turning up into a black backsplash. Another option is to use black painted metal. Black glass tiles are elegant with their combination of transparency and dark color.

Pink Kitchen Backsplash Tile Ideas

Despite what people intuitively assume, creating a super feminine space with pink is not always true in your kitchen. While you can go down the feminine path with soft pastel pink tiles, there are other options as well. If you like a soft pink palette, use pink stone or handmade tiles for an artistic and serene vibe.

If you're looking for something special, why not try pink metal? The rose gold metallic finish will form the overall pink range, but not too intense and depressing. Or choose tiles in rich, vibrant purples for a bohemian feel. This darker shade will mimic the feel of red without being overly aggressive. It is ideal for the kitchen, as it can cause a feeling of hunger.

Blue backsplash kitchen tile ideas

A blue backsplash to brighten up your kitchen. Pastel or bright blue color is calming and pleasing at the same time. It will help your kitchen feel fresh without being too bright or saturated. You can choose a darker blue for a more formal or nautical style kitchen. Darker shades add a sense of seriousness and complement the architecture of your home.

When it's time to add blue to your backsplash, choose wall tiles. Blue options are presented in a variety of shades, to suit your taste. You can also choose natural stone, with different colors of blue. It will be easier for you to combine the kitchen with the interior if the wood elements take on shades of brown in the stone.

Kitchen glass tile ideas

Glass tiles create stunning visual depth and stunning light reflection effects. However, this material is short-lived and a terrible choice for other typical tile applications such as flooring. But using glass tiles to create a backsplash is the perfect use for a uniquely beautiful translucent tile.

For a sleek, streamlined and modern look, choose a large glass tile. The end result with them will look like a single plane with a minimum number of seams. For a multi-dimensional look, choose a smaller size, such as a glass mosaic. They can be beveled to reflect light and create texture. For a more colorful look, experiment with colored glass.

Brown Kitchen Apron Tile Ideas

If you like neutral tones in the look of your kitchen, make it part of your splashback. But this does not mean that you need to use plain tiles. Otherwise, it will look dull and a little boring. Instead, look for tiles with a pattern or texture in neutral tones.

This may be a glass tile with a wood pattern in the background. Or lay a stone. Another elegant way is square tiles made of natural marble stone, granite or quartz. Prefer an unusual or traditional look? Choose tiles with a pattern in brown tones. Preferably with several shades, for greater detail and emphasis.

Metal Kitchen Tile Ideas

An easy way to create a vintage or historic look in your kitchen is with a wrought iron chandelier hanging from the ceiling. But not all of us are ready for such radical decisions. Why not emulate this look with a metal apron. Use an imitation of the style of forged squares, only on a smaller scale.

If you prefer a modern look, there is a simple metal tile that you can install yourself. You simply peel off the backing and glue them on to form an apron. They come in every shape and size, from mosaic tiles to huge species. There is also a choice of colors including gold, copper and silver.

Green Kitchen Backsplash Tile Ideas

Green is the color of life and prosperity, so it's perfect for your kitchen. If you have closets and are looking for an easier way to add green, why not make the backsplash green? This natural and earthy color is perfect for bohemian and artistic people.

Look for green tiles that combine the beauty of different shades. Usually handmade tiles are considered the best. It is also a great option if done in green. In addition, there is a tile made of natural green stone, which impresses with its variety and depth of color.
