Best Backsplash Designs for a White Kitchen

A great backsplash is like the cherry on top of a stylish kitchen. If you’re designing a beautiful, on-trend white kitchen, choosing the perfect backsplash is about finding a tile that complements your design without fading into the background. Whether you want your backsplash to be white or another color that pairs well with white, let’s take a look at some of the best backsplash styles, colors and shapes for your white kitchen.

Subway Tile

Timeless and tasteful, a subway tile backsplash is a stylish choice for a range of white kitchen designs. A simple white porcelain tile like Bare is sleek and effective, whether you arrange it in the classic staggered subway pattern or opt for a chevron look to add flair. If you prefer something with a little more texture, try Concerto. Mix matte with glossy tiles for a subtle way to make your white or neutral tiles stand out.

3D Tile

Create something truly unique with 3D porcelain tile that brings extra visual interest to your white kitchen. Choose from Blade, Ribbon, Wave and Twist designs to add a three dimensional texture to your backsplash. White and pale grey color options will look sharp and stylish in a white or white-and-grey kitchen design.

Hex Tile

One simple way to take your backsplash to the next level is to choose an unexpected tile shape. White hexagon tile is an on-trend look that brings contemporary style along with a nod to the mid-century modern aesthetic. A geometric touch instantly updates your backsplash and helps it stand out even if it’s the same white color as the rest of your kitchen design. Check out Paloma’s long hex, picket and rhomboid options, or the multiple hex sizes of Paros.

Patterned Tile

Turn your white kitchen up a notch when you opt for a stunning patterned tile backsplash. From the rustic colors and intricate patterns of Marrakesh to the pretty black-and-white style of Chymia, a decorative kitchen backsplash featuring mixed patterns like these is sure to be an eye-catching addition to your white kitchen design.

Wood-Look Tile

Porcelain tile that looks like wood has proved to be an extremely popular choice for kitchen flooring. But did you know it can also be used to create a kitchen backsplash? Wood-look backsplash tile like Eramosa will give a white kitchen a touch of rustic charm and chic style. For a fresh and one-of-a-kind look, Shibusa offers a bamboo-inspired woodgrain to elevate your kitchen design.
