Preventing your walls from getting damp or covered in food, a tile backsplash is of course meant to be practical. But, that doesn’t mean it can’t also be a pivotal style feature in your room. Tiles can create a backsplash that is both practical and stylish so read on for your all important tile backsplash ideas.

Keeping it simple

Starting simple but stylish with Carrara Series Marble Effect Flat Ceramic Wall Tiles.

Giving all the aesthetics of marble thanks to their authentic veins and markings, Carrara Series tiles create a stylish, sophisticated centerpiece out of your splashback. Thanks to their high gloss finish, these tiles also reflect light creating the illusion of space and light in any size of kitchen. Meanwhile, their timeless white shade allows for versatility and blends effortlessly with the rest of your kitchen.

And while these tiles may look marble, their ceramic material makes them easy to wipe clean and water resistant, serving the practical purpose of your backsplash.

Bright and bold

From the simple to the extravagant, a backsplash can be the perfect opportunity to add pops of colour an bold designs to your room. Taking up a relatively small section of space, a backsplash can be bold and yet not overpowering.

Tiles like Johnsons Vivid Orange Gloss Brick Ceramic Wall Tiles add a playful pop of colour that the eye is instantly drawn to. Pair with their white counterpart to create a playful pattern or to scale down the bold shade. The Vivid Collection is perfect for backsplashes thanks to its versatile brick format – it also allows for vertical laying patterns if you fancy making a creative laying design.

Majestic mosaic

While splashbacks most predominantly feature brick tiles thanks to their versatility and ease of laying, mosaics can create a striking design feature in your kitchen or bathroom.

Whether you opt for a bold shade like the CR+ CE Decor Series Topaz Bright Marble & Glass Mosaics or a more netural colour palette, mosaic tiles create a unique, characteristic feature. Meanwhile, their glass and marble materials add to the intrigue of this backsplash whilst also providing a light, reflective surface to keep your kitchen or bathroom backsplash bright, airy and tranquil.

Contrasting colours

A splashback provides the perfect opportunity for a spot of colour blocking in your interior space. Positioned behind your tap or hob and relatively small in size, it’s a space that’s crying out to be a feature.

Johnsons White Bevel Brick Gloss Ceramic Wall Tiles create a perfect contrast with the black worktops in the kitchen above to create a chic monochrome statement that creates the perfect balance between the bold and subtle statement. Again, the brick format here is easy to lay and versatile while at the same time being easy to keep clean.

Taking it to another dimension

Last but certainly not least, take your backsplash to another dimension by using texture tiles.
