40 Striking Tile Kitchen Backsplash Ideas Pictures

Welcome to our gallery featuring a collection of kitchens with fantastic backsplashes.

This selection of beautiful kitchens is in a variety of styles, and range in size from luxurious and spacious cavernous kitchens to smaller, modestly sized kitchens.

What they do have in common is that each of these examples have beautiful backsplashes that complement and add polish to each design. Some of these kitchens have backsplashes in the same material as the countertops–granite, marble, or soapstone, though several have chosen to offer contrast between counter and backplash using different materials.

Look for ceramic tiles, glass mosaic tile, or stone in these kitchens.

A new kitchen backsplash can dress up any old kitchen and bring it from old and dingy to sophisticated and contemporary.

We hope that this collection of kitchens with backsplashes will inspire your next kitchen renovation, or at least inspire you to do this simple, cheap update.
