Tile to the Ceiling

Don’t be afraid to take your backsplash tile all the way to the ceiling! These photos show great examples of how this can turn out wonderfully. Tiling all the way to the ceiling really plays up the height of your space which is always good. It also creates a beautiful and unexpected statement to the room.

Herringbone Patterns 

Another hot trend going on in kitchen backsplashes right now is using a herringbone pattern. This is a nice departure from the average brickwork pattern used in a lot of backsplashes. This pattern creates a lot of movement in your space which is a great way to add interest. It is also a nice way to add pattern without choosing tiles that are patterned themselves which can get outdated very quickly.

Plate grouping , something temporary that you can switch out each season or leave up year-round.
