4. Incorporate a Stunning Picture Frame

A tile “picture frame” is created by framing a decorative tile with trim pieces, such as Hixtons and Somersets. This makes a perfect centerpiece for your glass tile backsplash. Here, the expressive blues and greys in the Blue Twilight Brick tile enhance the elegant grey veining in the Hampton Carrara Chevron tile, resulting in a highly designed, cohesive space. Achieve this effect by layering trim pieces to highlight your favorite mosaic or patterned tile.

A dynamic shape, combined with striking color variation, infuses this space—designed by A. Dorazio—with a lively sense of movement. We love how the grey, beige, and white tones in the Alato Beachwalk Chevron tile coordinate with the white cabinets and grey-veined white marble countertop.  

6. Add Serene Neutrals

The Santos Beach tile‘s blue, grey and beige tones convey a calm coastal landscape. The combination of warm and cool neutrals adds a tranquil, yet visually complex, backdrop to this contemporary kitchen.

Brighten your cooking space with mirrored glass tile. The Antique Mirror Bevel tile shown here reflects light, adding extra illumination to this stove backsplash.

1. Combine Warm and Cool Neutrals

One of our favorite design trends is mixing warm and cool neutrals to achieve an inviting and visually interesting space. This luxe kitchen backsplash, designed by @cjuncaj, features the expressively veined Firenze Calacatta tile. With its grey, beige, brown and cream tones, this tile creates balance while making a bold statement.

2. Add Elegance With a Leaf-Shaped Mosaic

Give your backsplash a beautiful sense of movement with a marble mosaic. This stunning space, designed by @ckdesignernicole, features the Elia Honed by Alison Victoria tile. The delicate leaf shapes accentuate the grey and taupe veining in the white marble tile, forming a playful and serene backsplash.  

3. Create a Slab Effect

Achieve the luxurious “slab” look with a large rectangular marble tile, like the 12″ x 24″ Calacata Evora tile shown here. Larger tile requires fewer grout joints, resembling the appearance of a single slab of marble. You can also obtain the slab marble look with large-format porcelain tile, available in sizes up to 48″ x 48″.  

4. Mix Marble and Metal

Layering materials adds visual texture to your space. The Palermo Noir Stone Hex tile, featured on this stylish kitchen backsplash, combines rich black marble with small pieces of brushed bronze. We love how the chic bronze accents complement the metal faucet and fixtures.  

5. Get a Modern Farmhouse Look With a Basketweave Mosaic

This kitchen, designed by Timber Trails, showcases elevated modern farmhouse design. The Sampson mosaic tile features an exquisite basketweave pattern of white and beige marble. Paired with open shelving and wooden accessories, this backsplash embodies the cozy-chic aspect of modern farmhouse style.

6. Set a Mood With Grey Marble

Love the tone of a cloudy sky? Bring it indoors with an expressive grey tile, like the Bianco Colorato shown here. The soft light and dark grey veining are beautifully balanced by subtle beige tones, creating a harmonious neutral look. We love how this gorgeous grey complements the white cabinets and wood shelves.

7. Cast a “Hex”

Available in a range of sizes, colors and materials, hexagon tile is a retro shape that has found a fresh application in our spaces in recent years. Marble, with its vivid veining–bold or subtle, like the soft grey featured in the Royal White Hex tile—adds a sense of movement to your hexagon tile backsplash.  

8. Elevate Your Space With a Waterjet Mosaic

Glass and marble are elegantly combined in the Northbrook Glass with Black Marquina tile. Created using high-powered jets of water that carve intricate grooves in the hard stone, waterjet mosaics combine natural stone with glass, metal or mother-of-pearl. As an added bonus, the glass in this mosaic captures light, brightening the cooking space.  

9. Create a Rustic Look With Tumbled Marble

The worn appearance of tumbled marble is achieved by placing the stone in a rotating drum with rocks, sand and water. The result is a beautifully textured tile that is both refined and rustic. This charming kitchen, designed by Esslinger Design Co., features a backsplash of Meram Blanc Carrara tumbled marble subway tile, which creates an elevated brick wall feel.  

10. Add Art Deco Charm

Curves and geometric shapes are hallmarks of classic Art Deco design. This style, popularized in the 1920s, has reemerged in the 2020s with a contemporary twist—and we’re loving it! Here, the stylish Christie Volakas mosaic tile, featuring lush marble and gilded metal accents, creates a space that Gadsby would adore.  

11. Create a Sense of Movement With Chevron

This V-shaped tile creates a pleasing zigzag pattern that adds a sense of movement to this kitchen. The natural grey veining adds texture, complementing the organic elements, such as the wicker lamp shade and open wood shelving.  If you love this classic look, explore our wide assortment of chevron tile.

12. Add a Marble Tile “Picture Frame”

Make your favorite marble mosaic a focal point by showcasing it in a tiled picture frame. This technique, created using decorative trim to frame a patterned or mosaic tile, adds a highly designed, picturesque element to your space. It’s also a great way to add a touch of luxury while staying within budget.  

13. Marvel With Marble Subway Tile

Elevate the everyday with a luxurious marble subway tile. This crisp and clean backsplash, designed by Timber Trails, features Meram Blanc Carrara subway tile. The soft veining in this winter white marble adds dimension, enhancing standard white subway tile with a touch of elegance.  

14. Choose a Diamond-Shaped Tile for a “Cut Above”

Bold grey veining adds movement to this opulent backsplash. The Africa Tempesta Wheaton tile features beautiful diamond and chevron shapes, enhancing the dynamic quality of the design. We love how the cloudy grey tile contrasts with the white countertop.

2. Add Softness With Curved Tile

Make waves in your kitchen with the Wave Blue Reef tile. The curved edges add softness to your design, and the tile can be installed in a variety of layouts for a personalized look.

Crafted, painted and glazed by hand, each tile is completely unique, creating natural tonal variations on your kitchen wall or backsplash. Our Zellige tiles come in a range of sizes, shapes and colors, including Azul, Turquoise, Shamrock and Dirty Blue (shown here in a petite subway).

5. Infuse Your Space With Soothing “Neutral” Tones

This bright and inviting kitchen, designed by A Life Unfolding, is the perfect place to enjoy a refreshing matcha tea. The Glass Green Tea subway tile backsplash is serene enough to serve as a neutral. The color blends nicely with the blonde wood range hood and white shelving.

6. Add a Touch of Blue

You needn’t saturate your entire kitchen in blues and greens if that’s not your aesthetic. A touch of color adds visual texture to your space. This cozy “modern farmhouse” kitchen, designed by I SPY DIY, is case in point; the Look Avio tile used on the side of the kitchen island complements the neutral color scheme while standing out enough to create interest.

10. Keep It Cool With a Blue Kitchen Backsplash

The fluctuating tones of the Marrakesh Blue tile create a water-like feel for this kitchen backsplash.

1. Pair Wood With an Ornate Patterned Tile

A beautiful patterned tile will give your space distinction as well as provide an elegant pairing with a wood floor. The ornate Morris & Co. Pure Net Black Ink tile elevates this space and complements the natural wood floors (as well as the gorgeous floral wallpaper) giving this home a hand-crafted feel.

2. Ceramic Tile to Wood Floor Transition

Man-made ceramic and porcelain tiles offer a wide range of styles, shapes and designs. The Star ceramic tile gives this space, designed by Callaway Homes, an elevated “modern farmhouse” aesthetic. The flooring creates a clear delineation between the kitchen and living space, yet the black and white patterned tile pairs well with the wood floors.

3. Use Wood-Look Porcelain for a Cohesive Look

If you want to extend the look of wooden floors into your kitchen, durable and easy-to-clean wood-look porcelain will give you a natural appearance in a material well-suited to handling traffic and mess. Wood-look tile can be used to create cohesion between two separate but closely related rooms, as At Home With Ashley has done in this kitchen/dining space.

4. Tile Your Kitchen Island

If your kitchen or great room already features wood flooring, consider showcasing a favorite tile in a more unconventional spot, such as the side of a kitchen island. In this cozy-chic kitchen by @courtneypillion, the Star tile adds a delightful, unexpected design element.

5. Add Interest With a Diamond-Shaped Tile

Shape is another way to add distinction to your floors. Consider using tile shapes with diagonal lines, such as diamonds, chevrons or hexagons, to play up the contrast in a tile to wood transition. This stylish kitchen, designed by @jenpanattoni, featuring the Diamond White City tile is a case in point.

6. Create a Classy Pairing With Stone-Look Tile

Stone or stone-look tile and hardwood are a natural pairing. This kitchen, designed by Rashida Banks, uses the Aqua Nero Matte porcelain tile. The rich veining in the tile adds visual texture that complements the organic woodgrain in the living room floor.

7. Extend Your Kitchen Floor With Luxury Vinyl Planks

Another option for a cohesive look from your kitchen and beyond is to continue your floor beyond the culinary space. Here the Arbour Midlands Hickory Tavern luxury vinyl flooring extends from the kitchen into the dining room, but this stain- and scratch-resistant flooring is suitable for an entire first floor. This easy-to-install option is perfect for a DIY project. Discover just how stress free vinyl flooring can be with our helpful guide.

8. Tile Your Counter Wall

The counter wall provides another opportunity for you to showcase your style. This chic kitchen features the Liria Negro tile. The ornate black, white and beige pattern complements the dark wood floor for a chic and unique design.

9. Pair Wood With a Beautiful Neutral Pattern

In this stunning space designed by @alexandria.by.design, the warm dark brown wood floor is beautifully complemented by the cool grey and light blue pattern of the Cybele Blue tile. While this design uses pattern to achieve a cool, neutral look, you can achieve a similar effect with grey marble or marble-look tiles.

1. Backsplash Tile With Oak Cabinets

A neutral light wood is the great base for a fun and funky pattern. The curved pattern of the Elipse Azul tile echos the woodgrain in theses kitchen cabinets for wonderful, mesmerizing movement. The slightly muted dark blue with off-white coloring of this patterned tile complements this light oak wood.

2. Create a Natural Transition

The Tribeca Oatmeal subway tile provides a balanced transition between the white wall cabinets and wood base cabinets in this bright, modern kitchen. The glossy finish on this creamy subway tile adds shine to this kitchen, so that in the right light the wall looks white, but the color variation creates interest.

3. Make it Monochromatic

Beige tiles paired with maple wood create an elegant, monochromatic color scheme as is proof in this beautiful minimalist kitchen. The curves in the Wave Old Cream tile lends softness to this design with its serene neutral palette. We also love how the white grout joints complement the white light fixtures and countertops.

4. Add Depth With Dark Colors

Pair a dark color with a darker wood cabinet for moodier design that gives your kitchen richness. The dark wood base cabinets complement the vibrant color of the Wave Blue Reef tile. This tile might be too dark with wall cabinets, but the open shelving allows for the light to pass through and reflect off the glossy tile.

5. Metallic Patterned Backsplash

A sparkling metallic pattern adds glamour to this ultra-chic kitchen designed by Annie Selke. The reflective pattern of the Annie Selke Goldleaf Speckle tile shines next to the blond wood and white cabinets. The pattern tile creates a visual transition between the wall and base cabinets, by maintaining the neutral color palette.

6. Complement Your Countertops

If you have wood cabinets and granite countertops, then a handmade-look subway tile, like the Annie Selke Artisanal White tile shown here, will add charm to your traditional kitchen aesthetic. The uneven surface edges add detail to this design that complement the dark wood of the cabinets and brown granite.

7. Groove-y Design

Grooved 3D tile complements the woodgrain in stained wood cabinets. The raised line design on the 4-D Diagonal White tile adds a uniformed movement to a space that is already alive with the movement. The geometry of the tile contrasts the organic flow of the woodgrain for a balance of the natural and engineered.

8. Neutral Backsplash Tile With Dark Wood Cabinets

If your cabinets are dark, a light, cool neutral will help balance the tone of your kitchen. The soft shade of the Neo Hex Gloss Blue-Grey tile provides a lightness to the heaviness of the cabinets, and the glossy finish reflects the light, brightening the prep space. The elongated hexagon tile creates a sleek pattern that adds interest to the minimalist wooden cabinets.

9. Add Drama With Contrasting Grout

A black tile with white grout or a white tile with black grout–like the Imperial Brite White tile shown here–will add a subtle sense of drama to your space. Perfect for creating interest to a minimalist wood cabinet design. We love how the black grout complements the black range hood, shelf and handles in this modern kitchen.

10. Be Authentic With Handmade Zellige Tile

Crafted by hand, Moroccan Zellige tile is truly one of a kind. The subtle variations in size, shape, glaze and color will give your backsplash character that pairs perfectly with the unique look of natural wood. This kitchen designed by Fox Homes uses the Zellige White Gloss tile. The effect is a crisp, clean and creative aesthetic.

11. Embrace a Folksy Pattern

This kitchen designed by Kyndred embodies everything we love about modern farmhouse style–wooden cabinets, open shelving and the folk-art-inspired Star Blue tile stove backsplash. The handmade-look details of this tile add charm to this patterned tile and complement the stained wood cabinetry. For more ideas on how to incorporate this aesthetic in your space, read our Tile For Every Style: Modern Farmhouse, style guide.

12. Keep It Crisp and Clean With White Tile

From blond to dark wood, you can’t go wrong with crisp and clean white tile pairing. We love how this kitchen designed by Molly Howe Design uses the Hex Matte White tile to create a wonderfully textured white backsplash. The white range hood and countertops add to the crispness of this design.

13. Celebrate Your Style With an Art Deco Mosaic

The beauty of wood cabinets is that they will complement a range of styles, so your tile choice may determine whether your look is midcentury modern or modern farmhouse or coastal. The gorgeous flapper-era design of the Skyline with Gold stone mosaic tile transforms this modern kitchen design with the sunning gilded geometrical shapes of art deco.

14. Add an Artistic Touch With a Picture Frame

The simplicity of wood cabinets allows for creativity in your tile design. A picture frame in your stove backsplash will give your space an elegant, designed look. This picture frame designed by Sutherland Home features the Ancient Cordoba tile with its intricate and ornate design that elevates the simple kitchen. Shop our vast assortment of patterned tile and mosaic tile to find a favorite to showcase in your kitchen.

The Annie Selke Farmhouse Hex (shown here in White and Sage Green) will turn even a small space into a cozy-chic haven. For more ideas on incorporating modern farmhouse style into your design, check out this style guide.

3. Antique Floor Tiles

If you want your new tile floor to have a lived-in look, then choose a tile with a natural weathered look like the Antique tile. Shown here in a charming Green and Grey pattern, the tile’s aged appearance perfectly complements the rustic wooden cabinets and handmade-look tile backsplash. We love how the coordinating tile makes the small space feel cohesive and uncluttered.

4. Large-Format Wood-Look Tile

Like the look of wood but are afraid it won’t hold up to the messes in the kitchen? Durable, water-, scratch- and stain-resistant wood-look tile features authentic wood-grain looks that are easy to clean and won’t trap bacteria. The Manhattan Mercury tile features a contemporary take on traditional parquet floors and as an added bonus, the large format makes this small space appear more expansive.

5. Black-and-White Patterns

A black-and-white tile floor will allow for pops of color elsewhere in your space like the antique blue china hutch in this cozy and charming kitchen designed by The Whitley Co. Because the base of this space is the Bolshoi Negro black-and-white tile, the cabinetry and appliances can easily be painted or swapped out to change the aesthetic.

6. Chic Boho Designs

If your style leans towards the eclectic and carefree, a boho-inspired design like the Annie Selke Aylin Blue tile shown here, will infuse your space with a worldly charm. Inspired by vintage block prints, this stunning design elevates this small space with chic sophistication.

7. Hexagon Mosaic

This charming Hex Matte White with Black Flower tile floor is versatile enough to complement a variety of design styles. We love how it looks in this minimalist kitchen with modern farmhouse details, but the simple black-and-white pattern would look stunning with a brightly colored wall or sleek blonde wood cabinets.

8. Understated Encaustic Looks

The Decora Calypso encaustic-look tile floor features a muted grey and light-blue design that’s pretty without being overwhelming. With a cement look in a durable porcelain tile format, this tile has old-world charm with a color palette that will enliven white cabinets or blend well with a bolder aesthetic.

9. Stunning Star Pattern

The folk-art-inspired patterned tile is the star of this cute kitchen. While the Star handmade-look tile has an antique appearance, the green cabinets and brass range hood keep this space looking fresh and modern. The color choices and finishes chosen by Callaway Home Improvements prove that this tile is versatile enough to complement a range of aesthetics.

10. Ornate Wallpaper Patterns

If you don’t have enough wall space to showcase an ornate pattern, let the floor be your canvas. The Morris & Co. Pure Net Black Ink tile is based on the iconic British designer’s classic wallpaper designs and is just as charming for a floor as it is on a wall. Shop our exclusive Morris & Co. Collection for more artisanal colors and patterns.

11. Limestone Checkerboard

Checkerboard makes for fun and classic floors. This chic kitchen designed by Timber Trails uses Silver Mist and Noir limestone tiles for a winning floor design. We love how the natural veining in the stone adds interest to this floor. The muted black, white and grey tones throughout the room give this space a moody, elevated aesthetic, but we could see these chic floors being incorporated into a more colorful design.

12. Versailles Pattern

Squares and rectangular tiles of various sizes go into creating a classic Versailles pattern. The Queen Beige Tumbled Small Versailles marble floor tile contributes to the classiness of this chic, modern kitchen designed by Wit and Delight.

1. Carmeon Hamilton’s BoHo Bathroom

Carmeon Hamilton, embraced texture and pattern to transform this contemporary beige bathroom into a chic bohemian space. The Zellige Chabone Star and Cross tile features slight variations in size, surface texture and glazing, this and the mix of matte and glossy tile add to the bohemian aesthetic of the room.

The pops of pink and orange in the decorative fans and the natural greenery add just enough color to keep the space fun and lively.

2. Revival 4106’s Charming Plaid Entryway

This 1915 house needed lots of TLC and the couple behind Revival 4106 knew the Cloth Black and White tile was just the thing to revitalize the entryway.

The black wire light fixture reflects the thin lines of the tile.

3. Jessica Brigham’s Retro Glam Bathroom

The white subway tile, bullnose and black pencil trim follow the original design of this classic home. The simple white and black tile allows the bold statement wallpaper to really shine. The Harlow with Vintage Patina Stone mosaic in the shower niche isn’t original to the house, but the design is reminiscent of Art Deco design, perfect for this glamorous retro space.

4. Angelia Gutherie’s Chic Condo Kitchen

The heavy, wood cabinets made this condo kitchen feel dark and constrictive, while the blue tile accent piece created visual clutter. With a modern marble slab design, Angelia Gutherie transformed this open-concept condo kitchen into a bright and airy space. The subtle grey and taupe veining in the Calacata Evora Honed marble creates a wonderful sense of movement and light visual texture that provides the perfect background to the open shelving display. The large-format tiles require fewer grout lines, creating a sleek cohesive and expansive look.

5. The Birds Do Thus’ Classic Marble Bathroom

Amanda Yong of The Birds Do Thus renovated her bathroom to fit the aesthetic of her 1912 home. The Ashford Carrara marble with its bold grey-blue coloring creates gorgeous movement that straddles the line between old and new. The shower fixtures and hardware on the door add to the authenticity of the early 20th-century home. The effect is one of timeless luxury.

6. Jennifer Janeway Designs Transitional Kitchen

Jennifer Janeway Designs gave this kitchen a bright and airy update with streamlined white cabinetry and the beautiful Volakas Large Herringbone marble backsplash. The white with blue-grey veining in the marble creates a visual bridge between the cabinets and the blue of the kitchen island. The tile’s herringbone shape and striking veining add a contemporary flare to this transitional kitchen.

7. Emerson Studios Bathroom

This zen bathroom remodel by Emerson Studios combines warm and cool neutrals. The wooden cabinets are warm and organic in contrast to the Chalk Grey RMB floor tile’s cool, concrete look. The circular globe light and arched mirrors work to soften this design–creating a ying to the yang of the floor geometric diamond shape.

8. DGK Design & Build’s Kitchen

This dated kitchen needed a modern facelift. DGK Design + Build used our most popular subway tile, Retro Lino, to create a classically timeless backsplash. By keeping the kitchen completely monochromatic, this space is easy to update with the simple addition of some colored accessories.
