Kitchen Backsplashes


Your Corner of Tuscany
It seems wrong to even call results like this a backsplash.




Light Bricks
Notice how the less-common rectangular tiles pick up the shapes of drawers below. The design subtly unifies the cabinets with the world below the counter.


Kitchen Tiles as Design Punctuation
Design is as much about exclamation points as it is about ellipses. Twelve small, red tiles help spread the nostalgic feel powerfully created by the vintage stove.


A Radical Departure
OK, we admit to looking at this photo and thinking about splatters. But after a cleansing breath, we realize this is a radical idea for a backsplash. Not just wood, but horizontal wood.



Nostalgia and Grout
Who needs lithographs? Use your backsplash to frame mood-setting ceramic images.


Directing the Eyes
Add backsplash to the list of roles wainscoting can ably handle. Here, it moves the eye up the same way a stand of self-effacing fir prefers you see the sky.
