An eye-catching backsplash can take a kitchen space to the next level. These surfaces are often made up of tile, but that doesn’t mean you have to go with the same simple setup as everyone else. There are plenty of unique designs and materials to choose from, and you can even get creative when arranging those tiles. Here are some tips you can use to upgrade your kitchen remodel.

How to Create a Unique Backsplash in a Kitchen Remodel

1. Mix & Match Tiles

If you’re planning on going with some basic tile shapes like square or subway tiles, you can still add some interest by including more than one color or texture. Mix and match a few different styles to create a pattern on the wall, or you might consider tile packs that come with a few different colors in one.

2. Splurge on a Focal Point

Tile doesn’t have to be especially expensive. However, if you’re going to splurge on any, make sure it’s a unique tile that you can use as a focal point in your kitchen. For example, you can invest in some patterned tile to create a beautiful work of art right in the middle of your backsplash, then fill in the rest with a more neutral option.

3. Create Unique Patterns

4. Complement Your Countertops

No matter what arrangement you have planned for your tiles, choosing the backsplash color or pattern should be done carefully. Bring in some samples and compare them against your countertops so you can make sure they create a cohesive look. If they look like two opposing styles when you lay them side by side, try looking for other options.
