Your kitchen splashback isn’t just a functional necessity, it’s also a powerful design feature that can completely transform the look and feel of your space. Whether you’re renovating your kitchen or planning a new build, the right splashback tiles can add personality, texture, and a touch of luxury. From timeless classics to bold statements, here are our top kitchen splashback tile ideas to inspire your next project.
Classic Subway Brick Tiles: Timeless & Versatile
When it comes to kitchen splashbacks, classic subway tiles, such as our Monaco, Palos and Metallic ranges, are always in style. Their clean lines and simple shape make them a versatile choice that works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary kitchens. Whether you’re going for a rustic look, industrial chic, or something more minimalist, subway tiles can be styled to suit any vision.
Endlessly versatile, subway tiles can be laid in various patterns, from brick bond for a traditional style, stacked vertically for a modern twist, or even in a herringbone layout for a unique and intricate design.
Many of our subway brick tile collections, like our Chiltern and Majorca bricks, feature a glazed or high-gloss finish. Not only does this give them a sleek, polished look, it also makes them super easy to clean. Whether you’re dealing with sauce splatters, oil splashes, or everyday mess, a quick wipe with a cloth is all it takes to keep your splashback looking spotless.
Patterned Tiles: Add Personality & Flair
If you’re looking to bring character, colour, and a touch of artistry into your kitchen, patterned tiles are the perfect solution. These bold and beautiful designs are more than just functional – they’re a statement.
With modern printing technology, patterned porcelain tiles can mimic everything from artisan, hand-painted patterns, found in our Mercia range, to contemporary geometric prints, featured in our Marseille and Patrona ranges.
Our patterned tiles not only add a striking focal point to your kitchen and inject character and personality to the space, they are also incredibly practical. Made from durable and practical porcelain, the surfaces of these tiles are water-resistant, heat-resistant, and easy to wipe clean, perfect for messy cooking zones and high-use areas.
Textured & 3D Tiles: Add Depth & Dimension
If you want a splashback that really makes an impact, consider textured or 3D tiles. These tiles are all about creating tactile appeal and adding visual interest that transforms a flat surface into a dynamic focal point.
From the sleek lines of kit kat tiles, such as Osaka and Colori, to the natural warmth of wood-effect panels of our Osaka Wood, and the sophisticated elegance of 3D brushed porcelain, found in our Vena D’oro tiles, there’s a world of textured options that can elevate your kitchen’s design. Not only do they create a unique aesthetic, but these tiles also bring depth and dimension to your space, making your splashback a standout feature.
Marble-Look Porcelain: A Luxurious Statement
Dreaming of a marble splashback but not the maintenance or cost? Marble-effect porcelain tiles offer the elegance of natural stone with the durability and ease of porcelain. These tiles beautifully replicate the veining and natural charm of real marble, while offering all the modern benefits of durable porcelain. Whether you’re renovating a traditional kitchen or designing a sleek, contemporary space, marble-look tiles bring instant sophistication to your splashback.
Our extensive collection of marble-effect porcelain tiles are available in a variety of sizes, from statement large-format slabs to classic brick-style tiles. With a wide palette of colours to choose from, ranging from the crisp whites of our Basilica range to the subtle pink and honey tones, and striking green and blue shades found in our Onyx collection, there’s a marble-effect design to complement every splashback style and colour scheme, and space.
