Your kitchen backsplash is more than just a practical necessity; it’s also an opportunity to infuse personality into your kitchen space. With so many tile options available, the sky is the limit! As such, we thought it would be fun to highlight some kitchen backsplash options that showcase different tastes. Ready to get your creative juices flowing? Let’s dive in and discover the perfect backsplash to make your kitchen uniquely yours.
Traditional & Classic – Subway Tile Backsplash
Is your closet filled with timeless pieces that never go out of style? Do you live by the motto, “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it”? If so, a subway backsplash might be perfect for you. This enduring classic has stood the test of time and will likely continue to do so for many years. Looking to add a twist to your subway tile? Consider a subway tile with a subtle variation in color, as seen in our Green With Envy Apple Valley, MN kitchen remodel project. The gentle variation adds visual interest without being overwhelming. Or consider a different-sized subway tile for a fresh take on the traditional 3” x 6” size. Subway tile now comes in many additional sizes, including 2 x 8, 2 x 6, 3 x 12, and more.
Artsy – Handmade Ceramic Tile Backsplash
Are you drawn to the creative? Do you celebrate individuality? If you want your kitchen to reflect your love for visual storytelling, consider a handcrafted ceramic tile backsplash. Often infused with texture and varying colors, each handcrafted tile is unique, allowing you to arrange them in a way that truly speaks to you.
Our New Prague, MN Kitchen Remodel, pictured below, features a Zellige clay tile backsplash. The pattern, texture and color of the tile add depth to the surrounding painted cabinetry while giving a nod to the home’s Midcentury Modern roots.

Adventurous: Color-Infused Geometric Shaped Backsplash
Do you crave experiences that give you an adrenaline rush? Are you unafraid to take risks? If you’re considering resale value but still want a touch of wow, consider a backsplash tile a geometric-shaped tile in a subtle color. This combination of color and unconventional shape adds flair while remaining timeless. In our Takes the Cake Apple Valley, MN kitchen remodel, a pale blue ceramic picket tile backsplash steals the show, transforming an otherwise classic kitchen design into something more whimsical and exciting.
An Old Soul: Midcentury Modern Inspired Backsplash
Do you have a deep appreciation for history and tradition? Do you often feel a sense of nostalgia or connection to the past? Then consider a backsplash that draws inspiration from midcentury modern design. An elongated hex tile backsplash, like featured in our MidCentury Roots Hopkins, MN kitchen remodel, surrounded by more modern design elements, will deliver the perfect nod to earlier times without making your kitchen feel too ‘retro.’ In the example below, we choose a lightly crackled elongated hex tile backsplash along with other subtle midcentury modern elements to create a remodeled kitchen space that feels both updated and harmonious with the home’s Midcentury roots.
Dreamer: Counter to Ceiling Backsplash
Are you someone who sees the potential in everything? Do you continually dream of new ideas? Then you may want to consider a counter-to-ceiling backsplash application. Just like your dreams, these backsplashes reach for the sky, drawing your eye upward while making your ceilings appear higher. This trendy application can be paired with any style of tile and is a wonderful way to add visual interest to a kitchen design. In our Kindred Northfield, MN kitchen remodel shown below, a stone tile backsplash continues the theme of welcoming in light while adding a breath of texture and depth to the overall design.
Polished: Solid Slab Backsplash
Are you drawn to clean lines and minimal clutter? Does your wardrobe consist of bold pieces that make a statement while exuding sophistication? Are you an early adopter of technology? If so, consider a solid slab backsplash for your home. This seamless backdrop captures attention with its clean, sophisticated feel, especially when paired with a waterfall countertop island. For a more minimalist vibe, opt for a material with subtle contrast. Prefer to make a bold statement? Choose a selection featuring striking veining. Whatever material you select, this contemporary choice is guaranteed to reflect a polished aesthetic that aligns with your style.
