Backsplashes are installed to protect the walls in your kitchen from water, grease and other elements that may leave the surface stained or cause discolouration. Although most homeowners prefer installing backsplashes behind their stovetops and sinks, you can pretty much install it throughout the kitchen to make your cooking space much more personalised and aesthetically pleasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a clean stone wall look to a bright glass tile mosaic, there are essentially unlimited kitchen backsplash designs that one can choose from. Nevertheless, it is crucial to select a design that complements the rest of your d\u00e9cor, serves as the focal point of your space, reflects your personality, adds value to your home, and most importantly, makes you happy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are planning to renovate or upgrade your cooking space, we\u2019ve put together a list of kitchen backsplash trends that are not only stylish and creative but will also ensure perfect harmony between your countertops, walls and cooking area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Kitchen Backsplash Ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the top kitchen backsplash trends that might inspire you to freshen up your space and give it a complete makeover.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Mix-and-match tiles<\/li><li>Glass tile mosaic&nbsp;<\/li><li>Stainless steel<\/li><li>Diagonal or vertical tiles<\/li><li>Subway tiles<\/li><li>Mirror<\/li><li>Stone<\/li><li>Wallpaper&nbsp;<\/li><li>Bright pattern<\/li><li>Chalkboard&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Mix-and-match-tiles\"><strong>Mix-and-match tiles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-I-22-04-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"kitchen backsplash trends for 2020\" class=\"wp-image-88082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-I-22-04-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-I-22-04-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-I-22-04-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-I-22-04-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-I-22-04-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-I-22-04.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>This colourful backsplash idea will immediately brighten up your cooking space <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Who doesn\u2019t love colourful and vibrant mix-and-match designs?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to add a splash of colour to your kitchen without repainting your cabinetry or the walls, adding a mix-and-match tile backsplash is probably one of your best options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ceramic and porcelain tiles are considered the best options for kitchen backsplashes, as they are both durable, non-toxic, as well as resistant to heat and water. In addition to that, they are available in a wide variety of colours, patterns, sizes and designs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to achieve this look, you need to buy tiles in various shades featuring different patterns. However, it\u2019s better if they are all of a similar size to create a uniform look. Then, mix and match the coordinating tiles to create your desired design.

Secondly, they are sturdy and have a longer life-span, which means you won\u2019t have to replace them for several years. Lastly, they are easy to clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glass tiles mosaic is also one of the most popular kitchen backsplash ideas for dark cabinets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the chosen kitchen backsplash design, you can choose glass tiles of similar or different shapes and sizes in varying hues, and arrange them vertically, horizontally or in pretty much whichever random way you like. You can even interlock them like puzzle pieces or to form a certain pattern. Generally, interior designers recommend using small glass tiles to add some texture and depth to your cooking space, though you can use 4&#215;4-inch tiles as well, based on your personal preference and style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The installation process for glass tiles isn\u2019t much different from that of ceramic or porcelain ones. You only need some thinset mortar and a trowel to create the kitchen backsplash design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Stainless-steel\"><strong>Stainless steel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-A-22-04-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"top kitchen trends for 2020\" class=\"wp-image-88084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-A-22-04-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-A-22-04-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-A-22-04-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-A-22-04-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-A-22-04-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-A-22-04.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Stainless steel kitchens are now gaining popularity among homeowners as well <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A stainless steel kitchen backsplash may remind you of an industrial kitchen located inside a restaurant or a caf\u00e9.

While there\u2019s nothing wrong with this method, you can always add a touch of uniqueness to your design by installing the tiles in a vertical or diagonal manner, regardless of their size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, whether you are installing a backsplash behind the stove only or all throughout your kitchen, this trend can really transform your entire space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest advantages of installing tiles vertically or diagonally is that they create an illusion of more space, thus making your walls look taller than they actually are. Moreover, diagonal tiles can add a bit of texture and depth to a room, adding some personality to an otherwise plain d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;If you are opting for ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles of bigger glass tiles, this kitchen backsplash design will give your space a complete makeover without forcing you to go over your budget.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Subway-tiles\"><strong>Subway tiles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-G-22-04-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"kitchen trends that will last\" class=\"wp-image-88087\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-G-22-04-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-G-22-04-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-G-22-04-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-G-22-04-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-G-22-04-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-G-22-04.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A white subway tile backsplash is one of the top kitchen trends that will last for a long time <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing small subway tiles is one of the most timeless kitchen backsplash ideas of all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subways tiles work well in most kitchens because they can be incorporated into any theme. From a minimalist kitchen d\u00e9cor to a rustic one, these plain white small tiles fit perfectly into most architectural designs. In addition to that, they are pretty affordable, low-maintenance and easy to install.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another pro of installing subway tiles in the kitchen is that they never really go out of style. You just need to clean them every few months or so to freshen up your cooking space and make it look brand new. Usually, homeowners prefer installing 3&#215;6-inch subway tiles in their kitchen, though companies have begun producing these tiles in various sizes and colours now. That means you can use these seemingly plain tiles to create unique and artistic looks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you want to stick with white subway tiles instead of the coloured ones, you can always opt for darker grout to add some depth and dimension to your kitchen backsplash.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Mirrors\"><strong>Mirrors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-H-22-04-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"kitchen backsplash ideas on a budget\" class=\"wp-image-88088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-H-22-04-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-H-22-04-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-H-22-04-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-H-22-04-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-H-22-04-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-H-22-04.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Mirror backsplash can really open up your space and make the kitchen look bigger <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As we all know, strategically placed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/ways-use-mirrors-make-home-look-bigger.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">mirrors can make your home look larger<\/a> and more spacious than it actually is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, mirrors are a brilliant choice for backsplashes in small and medium-sized cooking spaces. Apart from making your kitchen look bigger and opening up space, mirrors also reflect light and make the room look brighter. Mirror backsplashes are also easy to clean, easy to install and not very expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also one of the best kitchen backsplash ideas for white cabinets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tempered glass is the best choice for a mirror backsplash, as regular glass would crack due to heat if installed behind a stovetop. Not only would that be messy to clean but can be extremely dangerous for everyone in your home. You can install a custom mirror not just behind your sink and stovetop, but also between your countertop and kitchen cabinets for a more cohesive look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only downside to this popular kitchen backsplash design is that you\u2019d probably have to hire a professional to install it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Natural-Stone\"><strong>Natural Stone<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-E-22-04-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"kitchen backsplash ideas for dark cabinets\" class=\"wp-image-88089\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-E-22-04-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-E-22-04-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-E-22-04-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-E-22-04-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-E-22-04-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-E-22-04.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>If you have dark cabinets, a natural stone backsplash will be perfect for your kitchen <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural stone is also an ideal material to be used for a kitchen backsplash. From granite and slate to marble and limestone, there are a number of different types of natural stones you can use to add a touch of lavishness to your cooking space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stone backsplashes can make your kitchen look elegant and expensive. In addition to that, stone tiles can\u2019t easily handle high temperatures, making them suitable for a stovetop backsplash. They are also resistant to rot, mould as well as general wear and tear. Another benefit of natural stone kitchen backsplash trends is that they are essentially maintenance-free and rather easy to clean.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you must be extremely careful while choosing the material because pairing two different types of natural stones for countertops and backsplash can have quite a negative impact on the overall look of your space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, your backsplash design and material must complement the countertops, cabinets, floors and other elements of your kitchen to create a harmonious look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Wallpaper\"><strong>Wallpaper<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-D-22-04-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"affordable kitchen backsplash ideas\" class=\"wp-image-88090\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-D-22-04-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-D-22-04-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-D-22-04-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-D-22-04-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-D-22-04-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Kitchen-Backsplash-Ideas-D-22-04.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Solid vinyl or vinyl coated wallpapers are a great choice for a kitchen backsplash <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for kitchen backsplash ideas on a budget, this is probably it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although wallpapers have earned a reputation for being fragile and delicate, the truth is there are certain types of wallpapers that will fit perfectly well in any kitchen. In this regard, solid vinyl or vinyl coated fabric wallpapers certainly top the list, as they are resistant to moisture, very durable, and can be easily washed to get rid of grease and other stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vinyl wallpapers are available in a wide variety of colours, patterns and designs. Therefore, you can easily find a wallpaper that suits your overall kitchen d\u00e9cor.
