Install some cool settings with the kitchen backsplashes

-
Suggestions and ideas, sharing and inspiration certainly show the way to artistic fulfillment in home design. The Kitchen world truly needs the tiles just like the bathrooms for obvious reasons of hygiene and wetness.  Yet, the emphasis has changed to more fanciful approaches. Backsplashes in the kitchen are now not merely to safeguard against wet walls. They serve rich artistic ideas and could become the focal point in the kitchen décor. Splashes and stains need to be guarded against for sure!

Contemporary backsplash designs truly take the cake in a great variety of designs, textures, and finishing. Something is available for everybody. Combining function and style, check out a few cute designs.

Opt for the Classic Subway Tiles


How can we not think of subway tiles after they have been around for so long? Eternal beauty reigns supreme in the simple, functional grace of subway tiles in the kitchen and elsewhere. The modern culture uses subways extensively too. Fame and trials have resulted in very many subway tiles of various sizes and patterns. Sizes are getting bigger from 3x6 to 3x9 and 4x12. Bigger tiles create illusions of larger spaces. Make some changes to the tile arrangement for fanciful effects. Go for herringbone, and vertical and diagonal arrangements are more dramatic compared to the horizontal.


The Ceiling-Height Backsplash is powerful indeed



Backsplashes are usually smallish, perhaps extending from the countertop and reaching till the upper cabinet. Why not extend it all the way up to the ceiling for a dramatic impact with rich colors and patterns, textures and ambiances? Art, height, and continuity combine for an intense experience with the ceiling height backsplash. A unified look and feel is the intimate result.

A maze of vibrant patterns




Bring backsplashes to dramatic life with a combined set of patterns. Consider the numerous options like the Herringbone and checkered, the sunburst, floral, chevron, and travertine. The best effect may be achieved with the countertops and cabinets in strong neutral tones. Now, watch the backsplashes explode in sensational effects. Contrasts create the striking moods.


Go for the right Finish and Textures



Remember the floor tiles of hardwood for many generations? Now, it is time for wood look tiles that appear quite the same, but are made of porcelain and ceramic! Easy to clean too with a wipe. Cabinets may be gaily colored for contrast. Consider other options like stone look tiles that create a rustic scene to complement modern esthetics. Would you be interested in further mysterious choices like the metallic and marble, matte and glossy?
