In a kitchen otherwise dressed in white and wood tones, a colorful tile backsplash becomes the standout design element in the room. The glossy teal tiles on this kitchen backsplash have a slightly wavy surface that reflects light in interesting patterns. Opting for open shelves in place of upper cabinets showcases more of the bold green tile.

The kitchen backsplash idea provides an opportunity to add storage as well as style.

A subway tile backsplash adds classic good looks and a casual vibe to modern kitchens.

In an otherwise neutral kitchen, a backsplash of gray-green subway tiles adds a touch of color and texture. Ceramic subway tiles come in dozens of colors and are often more affordable than other tile materials, so creating a show-stopping kitchen backsplash doesn't require a huge splurge. This subway tile kitchen backsplash stretches only partially up the wall to further cut down on costs.

If you love the energetic look of chevron or herringbone patterns, incorporate the motif into your kitchen with this backsplash idea. Chevron tiles make it easy to recreate the iconic design. Keep it subtle with zig-zags in similar hues. In this case, white and gray marble stripes make the kitchen backsplash design just noticeable enough without overpowering the neutral kitchen color scheme.

If a kitchen outfitted with marble countertops isn't in your price range, opt for a small-scale use of the material. Install a marble slab as your stove backsplash. It looks stunning in a neutral kitchen, and without grout, marble is smooth and easy to wipe clean. Or opt for engineered stone, which looks similar to marble but is more durable and affordable.

Mosaic peel-and-stick kitchen backsplash tiles are a great way to get a backsplash with multiple colors.

Classic stone kitchen backsplashes, such as marble, easily translate to a contemporary space. In this modern kitchen, sleek Italian cabinets made of wenge wood offer a natural pairing with the Carrara marble backsplash. If you're considering marble backsplashes and countertops, have the stone sealed first, keeping in mind that the sealant makes the stone more stain-resistant but not stain-proof. Wipe up splatters as soon as they happen and regularly clean the marble with a neutral cleaner, stone soap, or a mild liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Never use products containing lemon, vinegar, or other acids or it may dull or etch the marble kitchen backsplash.
