Some people enjoy the look of a classic traditional interior design style in their kitchen. Others, however, want to make a statement. If you fall into the latter group, you’re probably always looking for new ways to make your unique style stand out in the heart of your home. One opportunity to do so is by installing a bold and beautiful backsplash. Implementing a distinctive backsplash in your kitchen will take your style to the next level and surely rake in a heap of compliments at your next dinner party. If you’re tired of the traditional, consider implementing these enticing ways to spice up your kitchen backsplash.
Select Tiles in a Unique Shape
Rectangle tiles always look great, but let’s be honest—they’re a tad overdone. For a backsplash that has a more unique appearance, consider opting for tiles that have an uncommon shape, such as hexagon tiles. Other unique tile shapes include fish scale, trapezoid, or pebble. These options will all add an extra element of interest to your kitchen’s backsplash.
Choose Metallic Grout
Another way to spice up your kitchen backsplash is to select metallic grout. Most tile backsplashes have either white or black grout between the tiles. However, neutral colors aren’t your only option. To make more of a statement, consider choosing golden, silver, or copper-colored grout that will give your kitchen an air of elegance and intrigue.
Opt for an Unconventional Material
Tile isn’t the only material you can use to create a stunning and eye-catching backsplash. For something a little different, consider using materials such as wood, brick, stone, or pressed tin to construct your kitchen’s backsplash.
Wood has a low cost and can be used to create numerous unique patterns depending on your preference—just make sure to cover it in a coat of waterproof paint or varnish to keep it in good condition no matter what splashes against it. Exposed brick or stone also serve as attractive attention-grabbing options for a kitchen backsplash that provides a more industrial or earthy appearance.
