Unique Backsplash Ideas for Your Kitchen or Bathroom

The backsplashes in your kitchen or bathrooms are more than just functional, they also make a statement. That’s why your backsplash should do more than just blend in with your interior design style. Whether you want something simple and understated or bold and loud, there are unique backsplash ideas for any style. Check out some of our recommendations before you begin your new kitchen or bathroom project.

Herringbone Pattern

Often overlooked, the herringbone pattern is an excellent choice for backsplashes. This unique and classic V-shaped design creates a simple yet noticeable pattern that immediately draws the eye. A herringbone pattern lends itself to different color patterns. Choose the clean elegance of a single uniform color, combine splashes of light and dark for a vibrant feel, or create contrast in a light-colored room with a dark tone.

Natural Stone Slab

Natural stone slab is a bold choice that will add character to your kitchen backsplash. Since natural stone is available in a variety of vein patterns and colors, your options range from simple single-color slabs to rich, complex pieces that are a work of art on their own. If you already have natural stone countertops, you should only choose a natural stone backsplash if you can find an exact match. Otherwise, you’ll risk a busy, clashing look.

Mosaic Tiles

You may have seen mosaic tile backsplashes before, and that’s because these classics never goout of style. Mosaic patterns can be made from any type of small tile. Mosaics may seem simple, but they are constantly being reinvented thanks to their endless variety of styles, colors, and patterns. You can go with something timeless like white penny tiles, or something as intricate as a waterjet marble floral design.
