One option for a metal backsplash is tiles shaped like bricks and placed in a geometric design to mimic the layout of traditional bricks. These metal tiles offer a simple design that complements a contemporary kitchen area. Other options include reclaimed tin ceiling tiles that are repurposed to serve as a backsplash.

Another interesting option for metal backsplashes is to create a fun mosaic pattern with an assortment of metal tiles in various shapes and colors. This type of backsplash is a great option for someone who has a bit of an artistic side and likes a do-it-yourself project. Metal tiles that have been embossed with a decorative design, like leaves or flowers, are also beautiful when they are interspersed amongst simple metal tiles.

Perhaps, the best feature of any metal tile backsplash is that it will blend well with most wall colors and design themes, ranging from a modern kitchen decked out in stainless steel appliances to a rustic space complete with an island made from reclaimed barn wood.
