Swimmingly Stunning

Rows of scallop tiles in watery hues create a fresh look in designer Michelle Gage’s Villanova, PA, kitchen. “It was inspired by a trip to Hawaii, where my husband and I fell in love with the bright blue water,” says Michelle. Arranging the tiles (from Mercury Mosaics) with darker shades mainly on the bottom and lighter ones on top is reminiscent of receding ocean waves.

An Eclectic Pattern

A mix of terra-cotta tiles (by Tempest Tileworks), some all glazed white and some with a dot or a partial dot, is totally awesome. Although their placement may seem random, designer Max Humphrey planned it all out for his Portland, OR, kitchen. “I arranged the tiles on my floor in sections before the install,” he says. “I like the playful design — a backsplash can have a sense of humor!”

Pink and Yellow

Zigzags of glossy pink tiles are made even more spectacular by yellow grout in this London kitchen. (Fireclay Tile makes a similar version; the grout is by Mapei.) “The contrast accentuates the herringbone pattern and picks up the room’s yellow touches,” says architect Catrina Stewart. Tinted grout comes in a range of colors. “White tile and blue grout is also a great combo,” she says.

Make It Metallic

Stacked copper tiles (from TileBar) installed counter to ceiling make a statement in kitchens of any style. They glam-ified this modern one but can also jazz up a more traditional space. “Copper tiles shine like a disco ball, in a good way,” says designer Tiffany Brooks, who created this room for the HGTV Smart Home 2017 in Scottsdale, AZ. “I liked the look so much, I did copper pulls to match.”
