Kitchen Backsplash Inspo For New Homeowners Straight From MyTyles Clients

A new house is a source of joy. If you are a first-time homeowner, then chances are you have a completely decked up list of the latest tile trends and ideas awaiting your arrival on your browser. However, when you revisit them and the hunt for the right tile begins, doubt overpowers you. Suddenly, none of them matches the way you visualize your kitchen. Or if it does, and somehow a similar product is luckily available, it does not meet your requirements.

Encapsulating the multitude of textures, shapes, and finishes, we are venturing into a time where they do NOT have to be JUST rectangular or glossy. Neither do they strictly belong in the kitchen or the bathroom. Sometimes more is better.

Texture on Texture

Granite texture on kitchen counters, cabinets finished with shades of walnut, and vitrified slate grey tiles arranged in a diamond pattern on the floor; this power-packed kitchen has a unique texture for each surface. The baroque style encaustic backsplash simply seals the deal. This kitchen leverages the layering of textures to create a harmonious space. With ample natural light flooding in through the windows, the marine blue and glossy surface of the kitchen backsplash makes it look bigger.
 

Featuring the Zurbaran collection, this tile uses delicate patterns to add depth and dimension to the space. Grouted in 3/16 inch white epoxy, it makes the installation shine.
 

Metallic Accents and Calming Color Combinations
 

This kitchen is all about the basics. Elevating the humble white subway tile in a simple brick-like layout, the black grout adds the right amount of drama. The metallic accents spread throughout the room with the brass canisters: the hardware and the textures of the teal wall cabinets bring a refreshing aesthetic that we crave in modern eclectic designs.
 

Unlike most kitchens, where the walls are covered with lots of heavy wood, this kitchen opts for two translucent cabinets, a handful of floating shelves, and an island that doubles up as a storage option. The bevelled edges and the glossy finish of the accommodating subway tile reflect the warmth from the lighting fixture to make this small kitchen look extremely flattering
 

Playing with Patterns

If the blacks, whites, and blues are not for you, then this demure grey might be your best shot for a striking kitchen backsplash. The gloss of the ash-grey Zellige tiles from our Nara collection adds a sense of calm to the space by counteracting the warmth of the rich wood cabinets and the dark countertops.

The large door pours in the sunshine, putting the characteristic uneven edges on the forefront. The Moroccan motifs on the stove backsplash are more than an aesthetic addition. In a combination of muted grey and maroon, the highlighted backdrop cuts through the monotony to add a massive boost of freshness.
 

Chevrons and Marbled Textures
 

Chevrons patterns are easy to install and easy to maintain. In an Indian kitchen where it's constantly bubbling and simmering with an array of spices, you need something that can stand the test of time. With the right shape, size and glaze, chevrons help you achieve just that. This U-shaped kitchen with countertops installed on both sides sports a chevron pattern designed with our Nara collection on one side and a marbled texture on the other side to create a gentle, neutral movement that is both captivating and graceful. Completed with ivory epoxy wall cabinets, white countertops, metal accents on drawers and floor cabinets, and warm ceiling lights, it breaks all the rules with smart, intuitive use of premium aesthetics.
 

Edgy Color Blocking

Contemporary feels, clean lines, and sharp angles make this kitchen a masterpiece that garners praise and appreciation from the get-go. Loaded with functionality with designated spots for prep work, stovetop, cleaning and storage, this kitchen has been designed to keep you organized. The hexagonal kitchen backsplash forms a beehive pattern, creating asymmetrical hanging edges, which adds its own alluring charm to the space.
 

Serene Blues and Simple Layouts
 

While decor magazines keep flooding us with complicated layouts which do not fit in most modern Indian households, this one is a keeper. Combining the kitchen with a tiny dining nook, this contemporary kitchen uses a simple vertical kitchen backsplash, modular furniture and quaint chairs to create a wine-and-dine kitchen with half the floor space. Varying ceiling heights, distinct tones of wood, and artificial wooden pillars add visual focal points. Non-fussy, simple, and serene, this kitchen leverages smart use of space to accommodate the needs of a nuclear family.

The Queen of Convenience
 

In Indian kitchens, tadkas fly. The spices are always on the countertop, and the sink is always loaded with dishes from the cooking escapades. Given the culture of chappan bhog thalis, things may slow down, but having a quiet kitchen is never an option. Amidst the chaos, one of the easiest ways to keep the kitchen clean and organized is a dark backsplash that runs through and through. With these allergen-free and toxin-free ceramic wall tiles, it becomes easier to wind down for the day with a quick swipe with a handy muslin cloth. Decorated with numerous floral and geometric patterns, this kitchen backsplash makes a statement with nifty storage space to hoard all the groceries, snacks, and more. The parallel layout adds a unique means to whip up a storm for a big fat Indian family with ease while you float and glide around in the kitchen.
 

The Quintessential Modern Indian Kitchen

The best Indian kitchens are the ones that work harder than the cooks to save time and energy. The tall modular kitchen accessories are very desi at heart, for it uses every inch of available space. For such kitchens, a small repetitive pattern, all the way from the edge of the countertops to the ceiling, is a beautiful, practical choice for a kitchen backsplash. The LED lighting under the wall cabinets, on transparent cabinets and on open shelves, draws attention to the delicate veining on the tiles. Complete with a tight, almost invisible to the naked eye grout line, it keeps your kitchen looking clean and classy even if your cluttered countertops say otherwise.
 

Believe it or not, a good kitchen backsplash forms the backbone of all the festivities and mundane everyday affairs. Save your favourites, share them with your loved ones, and if you are on the hunt for a spectacular kitchen backsplash, drop us a word at sales@mytyles.com
