If you're the type who wants a kitchen that turns heads, patterned tiles pack the "punch" to liven up any space. Since most of these models will have a visually busy look, special care should be taken not to create an overly cluttered kitchen. We recommend a plain countertop and understated cabinetry to highlight the beauty of the patterned backsplash. Feel free to take it as high as the ceiling for an even bolder appearance. Your backsplash won't just be a protective surface; it will become a work of art.
