Whether you're looking to use tile on the entire wall of your bath or just wanting to add a spot of color behind your kitchen range, tile backsplashes are a beautiful way to customize your kitchen and bath spaces. Choosing a tile backsplash can sometimes feel overwhelming between the endless list of textures, colors, and materials available. We've gathered a list of six gorgeous tile backsplashes that you can't go wrong with.

Backsplashes are one of the easiest ways to bring in that dash of color without overwhelming your space. Ceramic tiles can add tremendous visual appeal through color and personality with their numerous styles. Ceramic tile is budget-friendly and can be made in various vibrant hues from popular navy blues to subtle pinks to bright greens —now it's smoother than ever to customize your kitchen and bathrooms. This water-resistant material makes it easy to clean away stains that inevitably creep up behind your stove or bathroom sink.
2. Bodacious Black + White Backsplash

You'll always be in style when you install the timeless look of black and white tile throughout your kitchen and bath spaces. Add a touch of elegance with marble tiles, and don't be afraid to bring in contemporary patterns with geometric shapes. Hexagons, triangle mosaics, and unique art deco designs are currently trending in the realm of backsplashes.
3. Captivating Cast Stone Tile

Cast stone simulates different types of natural cut stone to seamlessly deliver a personalized shape and color backsplash designed to match your interiors. Made from mixing natural stone such as quartzite, granite, limestone, and marble, cast stone is a lighter product that resembles the texture of natural stone but is easier manipulated to match dimensions. With cast stone backsplashes, you can design the natural stone look of your dreams at a fraction of the cost.
4. Melodramatic Mosaic Tile

If you're searching for a unique backsplash that leans more on the sustainable side, glass mosaic tiles are the perfect material for you. Since glass can be scrapped and easily repurposed, these backsplashes are considered more environmentally friendly. Available in unlimited colors, patterns, and shapes, glass mosaic tiles are easy to clean, making them the ideal counterpart for shower accent walls and sink backsplashes. Plus, glass tiles are non-porous, so they resist staining, mildew and mold to promote a healthy kitchen and bath environment.
5. Polished Porcelain Tile

Porcelain tile, a subgroup of ceramic tile, is considered impervious to water. These gorgeous tiles are denser than ceramic and less prone to crack or chip, making them the ideal solution for backsplashes in kitchens and bathrooms alike. Like ceramic, porcelain tiles are available in a wide selection of colors, shapes, sizes, finishes, and patterns, but they usually come with a higher price tag.
6. Simple Subway Tile

Perhaps one of the most popular tile looks to make a comeback are subway tiles. These tiles are incredibly versatile and come in so many colorways that it's easy to mix and match subway tiles to design a backsplash made to your taste. Penny tile is another great alternative if you're looking to adopt a more vintage look.
