Our Best Backsplash
Whether installing new, or replacing an existing - backsplash is a great way to revamp a space, without a huge undertaking.
Putting in a backsplash can be a cost-effective, and in some cases an easy enough DIY project. Below we will share some of our favorite looks in backsplash to help inspire your creativity – and with plenty of time to have the job done before the holidays!
Marble is a timeless finish which has held a spot in the top backsplash types for quite some time.
We have many marble-look tiles in varying shapes and sizes. However, the majority of our marble backsplash options are in fact ceramic or porcelain tile mimicking the look of marble.
Using a ceramic or porcelain over a natural stone is less maintenance – it is recommended to seal natural stone tile in order to prevent anything from penetrating the stones surface. Going with a marble-look instead of the real thing allows for you to splash your spaghetti sauce without the worry of staining!
Subway tile is an all-time favorite. Subway tile gives clean lines, and a nice simple backdrop that is not going to overpower other features of your space (like your countertop!)
They come in a variety of sizes, with our most popular being 3”x6” and 3”x12”. We also offer a variety of textured and coloured subway tile options.
If you are looking to add more visual impact while still using a subway tile you can install it in a more detailed pattern, like a herringbone, or you can combine more than one colour.
Another popular look is to install an accent tile with your subway tile (see ‘Accents’ below).
BONUS: if you are looking for a DIY project, a ceramic subway tile is a great starting off point into the world of tile installation!
If you are looking to add some glamour to your space, glass tile is the way to go.
We carry a large line of glass tile; in linear and 1”x1” mosaics, subway tile sizes in glossy, frosted and textured finishes, and more! Using a glass tile is a great way to create a luxurious high-end feel. Glass is also versatile option – it can work to create both a modern look or a more traditional look.
Shape and Pattern play a huge role in the world of home décor. Designers are using different shape tiles to give a big statement. Herringbone, hexagons and more…
Using a tile with a unique shape is a great way to make a statement in your space. We have a variety of shaped tiles and mosaics.
Using an accent tile with a field tile in your backsplash can create a tailored look.
