PATTERNED. Finding their way to the backsplash scene in 2024 are exciting patterns! Herringbones, angular, asymmetrical, and geometric patterns can add to a great kitchen design when they are used in homes suited for those designs. Most of these patterns work well in modern homes, although patterns such as herringbone are a good choice for more traditional homes. Keep in mind that a patterned backsplash will add busy-ness, so it balances a kitchen design that is less demanding. SUBWAY TILES. This timeless look can work in both a farmhouse kitchen design and a modern kitchen design. Today, homeowners and rehabbers have more than just white tiles to choose from. Subway tiles are now available in every color of the rainbow, opening the doors for some interesting kitchen designs. Subway tiles are timeless and easy to care for, making them a great choice for an investment home.

GLASS TILES. For a trendier, up to date look try using glass tiles on the kitchen backsplash. Glass tiles will give any kitchen a flashier feel. With many colors to choose from, they will add a pop to any kitchen design. They look slick and are more reflective, giving a kitchen a bigger feel. Glass tiles are easy to maintain and clean; however, they are more likely to show spotting from soils and splashes, so they need to be wiped down more frequently.
