Perfectly imperfect, Zellige tile is cut and crafted by hand, resulting in purposefully uneven edges.

If your budget allows, a small space is the perfect opportunity to splurge on real stone. The limited square footage means you can choose a higher-end tile without breaking the bank—and it can make even a compact kitchen feel luxurious.

This contemporary kitchen, designed by Angelia Guthrie, features Calacata Evora honed marble tile. The lush grey and beige veining adds a fashionable, contemporary feel, while the open shelving lets the tile take center stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size backsplash tile is best for a small kitchen?

Virtually any size tile will work well for a small kitchen backsplash. If you want a cohesive look that makes your space appear more expansive, use a large-format tile, while a small mosaic tile adds movement and interest.

What is the best color backsplash for a timeless kitchen?

A crisp white backsplash will adapt as your style evolves. White subway tile is a classic look that can be easily updated with colored accents or by painting your cabinets and shelves.

Should the backsplash be lighter or darker than the countertop?

Your backsplash color depends on your personal style. If you tend toward the bold, contrasting your tile and cabinet colors adds a sense of drama. A backsplash that picks up some of the tones of your cabinets–-like a gold-flecked backsplash with gold fixtures on your cabinets -–will look cohesive while adding interest. Contrasting trim or grout will add definition to matching backsplash, countertops and cabinets.

Dark green leaves on a black background create a rich and moody space with the Arwen encaustic pattern tile. The graphic leaf shapes create movement and interest on this bathroom floor. If you’re afraid your space will become too dark, try pairing this tile with a chic white subway tile.

4. Wavy Green Patterned Backsplash

A lined geometric patterned tile will add movement to your backsplash. The Eclipse Verde tile can be installed in a variety of ways to add a unique pattern to your space. The large format means that this tile requires fewer grout joints and the pattern will extend, giving your space an expansive feel.

5. Green Shower Tile Ideas

Green will invigorate you and increase your sense of well-being, making it a great color choice for your shower. This shower designed by Artisan Tile Interiors uses a deep jade subway tile for a stunning space that feels at once modern and timeless. The dark color could be too dark for a small space, but the brass fixtures, white grout and the reflective nature of the glossy tile add light.

6. Vertical Off-Set Subway Tile

Add height and interest to your space by installing your subway tiles vertically. Shown here in a vertical offset pattern, the Glass Shamrock tile makes this space feel modern and classy. The glass tile is slightly reflective, which adds light to the space.

7. Light Green Glass Tile

For a cool new neutral, choose light green tile. The New Haven glass mosaic tile has a soft sage green coloring with horizontal blue striations for a watercolor effect. The result is a beautifully tranquil backdrop that complements the Laura Ashley Sunflower White with Charcoal tile floor.

8. Botanic-Patterned Accent Wall

A green jungle-scape pattern makes for a beautiful accent behind the tub in this naturally stunning bathroom designed by The Lazy Lavender. We love how the hexagon-shaped Amazon Emerald Tropic tile is only used on half the wall, creating a pleasingly organic-looking edge in this space full of shape and movement.

9. Jade Green Subway Tile

The Hackney Jade tile features rich deep-green shades and subtle color variation for a perfectly imperfect handmade look. We love how the wonderful visual texture of this tile matches with the silver fixtures and white sink for a space that feels very modern.

10. Vintage Green Tile Bathroom Ideas

Teal green and hexagons are two retro trends that are seeing a resurgence. This beautiful shower designed by Judy Raynard features both, and we love the cool vintage vibe! The hexagon tile creates a highly designed look to this shower shelf, and the shape is echoed in the black tile floor.
