A Good Mix

Mixing different materials in a backsplash creates a one-of-a-kind design. Designer Helen Richardson used light green tumble marble for the majority of the backsplash and added diamond-shaped stainless steel accent tiles to give it an unexpected shine.

Bright and Fun

Take a risk when choosing a backsplash color to create a fun space the whole family can enjoy. Once you decide on a color, carry it throughout the kitchen with accessories like these green apples.

Dramatic Blue

Blue glass tiles make a dramatic statement in any style kitchen. Designer Dave Stimmel installed the tile along the length of the cabinets and the wet bar area to connect the two spaces.
