splashback kitchen tile inspiration blog

As most renovators know, one of the most important aspects of your kitchen renovation is the kitchen splashback – the focal point of the room (and the heart of your home).

The tiles you select for your splashback are an easy way to add colour and personality, not only that but they can help define or elevate the interior style you have in mind for your kitchen.

In this blog post, we will summarise the best tiles to use for your kitchen splashback and explore some trending Australian splashback styles.

Tribeca Sage Green

Subway Tiles

Due to their versatility, subway tiles are a classic choice for any tiling project. They are available in a huge range of colours, sizes, and edge types. No matter the interior style of your splashback, there will be a subway tile to suit.

Subway tiles can also be laid in a huge range of patterns, from a traditional brick-bond pattern through to a quirky basket-weave style. Right now, the vertical stack-bond pattern is making waves in Australian interior design because of the clean and refined look it creates.

Penny Round Bianco Carrara

Mosaic Tiles

A mosaic is made up of small tiles which have been assembled and glued down to a mesh sheet. They fit together easily and are available in a huge range of shapes, sizes and designs.

At Designer Tile Company, we have mosaics made from a variety of materials including porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, and glass.
You can select from geometric shapes like the Rubix or why not go for a Penny Round in natural bianco carrara marble.

Mosaic tiles are an easy way to add interest, texture and pattern to your splashback. They draw the eye and will easily become a hero feature in your kitchen.

Japanese Traces White Linen

Kit Kat Tiles

The kit kat tile is named after, well, a certain yummy treat. Their design is heavily inspired by Japanese ceramics – a ceramic style that strongly embraces the natural beauty and irregularities of handmade tiles.

Kit kat tiles are available as mosaics at Designer Tile Company and will instantly create a contemporary, on-trend look for your splashback. They’ll also act as the perfect visual centrepiece for your room.

Marmi Grande Calacatta

Large Format Tiles

As their name suggests, large format tiles are big in size and cover a much larger area than subway or mosaic tiles. Your splashback will have no or minimal grout lines if you select a large format tile, which means it will be easier to clean.

The best thing about large format tiles is their ability to replicate design aesthetics of natural marble at a fraction of the price. Our Marmi Grande collection is heavily inspired by marble slabs in design, however they are made from porcelain. Unlike real marble, porcelain is a durable, long-lasting material that requires no special treatment or maintenance.

Create a luxe look in your kitchen with a seamless splashback created with large format tiles.

Lodge White Wavy Subway Tiles

White Tiles

Sometimes, you just can’t beat a classic white tile. Due to their light reflecting properties, white tiles will brighten up any space and are especially great in darker rooms.
