Kitchen backsplash with added utility.

A simple, glossy glass backsplash (as shown) with concealed lighting can conveniently be given more utility by incorporating a transparent glass rack. Such an arrangement fits well into the design scheme and also adds to it.

Underlights illuminate the mosaic tiles.

Lights on the underside of the storage cabinets illuminate the jazzy mosaic tiles, accentuating their neutral hues to inject a sober dash of color into the elegant setting.

Marble wall.

Minimalism.

The gray paint on the glass subway tiles fits in effortlessly into the neutral palette adorning the minimalism of this modular kitchen. Complementing the butcher block topped island beautifully, the gray subway tiles represent a modish yet graceful kitchen backsplash.

Glass tile.

Contrasting well with the black & gray tiled vertical panel forming the backdrop of the stainless steel extractor hood, the fetching kitchen backsplash is further illuminated by the underlighting of the overhead cabinetry.

Futuristic metal.

This modern customized kitchen/pantry boasts of an avant-garde stainless steel installation for the cooking area, with everything in metal. The well-lit metallic backsplash makes a style statement, offering a chic contrast with the bamboo wood & white solid surfaces.

Square tiles in white- evergreen.

The walls, countertops and the kitchen backsplash are all uniformly bedecked in gleaming white square tiles. The uniform design lends an elegant visual harmony & a coherent charm and also conveys the ease with which such an engaging backsplash can be copied sans hassles on a budget. And of course, the wood & white combo is ageless!

Contrasting kitchen backsplash with square tiles.
