There is perhaps no greater feeling than achieving a home design plan that is as visually appealing as it is practical.That's why here H&G, we're big fans of backsplashes. The functional kitchen is the mainstay of the home due to its protective properties, but it is also an important design element based on pattern and color.
Actor and Frenshe creator Ashley Tisdale proves that a patterned backsplash can have just as much impact as artisan tiling or intricate wallpaper.of high school musical The star recently posted a photo on Instagram of her kitchen, which mostly follows a neutral motif, from the white marble island to the white and black spherical hanging light fixtures. All are subtly tied together with a black and white patterned backsplash to evoke a tile effect.
For those looking to create a deeper level of visual interest on their walls (particularly kitchen backsplash walls), tile (and pastes that look like tile) are a great option. As the experts explain, we're not alone in praising this design method.
“Using tiles as a kitchen backsplash is an exquisite way to display and highlight the pattern, texture and glaze of the tiles,” says Diane Hyde, marketing manager at Craven Dunnill Jackfield. “A beautiful way to bring a burst of color into a room, highly reflective gloss tiles are also a great way to create a sense of space and openness.”

Tile backsplashes not only look great, but they're actually scalable.
“In a small kitchen, highly reflective glossy tiles are a great way to create a sense of space,” explains Hyde. “The glazed finish reflects light beautifully, creating a wonderful open feeling and making the room appear larger.”
We love how the Tisdale backsplash coordinates with the black-painted shelves and stove hood, creating a uniform look in that corner and complementing the lightweight, textured elements in the rest of the space. I especially like it.
“If you want to experiment with bold colors, embellishments, inspired layouts and patterns, tiles are the perfect way to create a one-of-a-kind design statement,” says Craven Dunnill Jackfield, Production Director Adrian Blundell, , agrees.
