Classic Backsplash Ideas
-
Classic kitchen backsplash designs pair up well with the clean lines created by ceramic tiles. Install medium, square, ivory ceramic tiles as the base for the backsplash. Install raised mold tiles with assorted fruit after every other plain tile on the backsplash base. Use a picture created from ivory tile with a raised mold of a fruit basket behind the stove.
Country Backsplash Ideas
-
Choose bold colors and farmhouse themes to create a ceramic kitchen backsplash design with a country feel. Use small red and white square tiles to create a checkered pattern for the backsplash. Add a large red-trimmed picture tile to the backsplash every 6 to 8 inches. The picture tile could be a realistic rooster, cartoon cow or simple tractor painted on a white background.

Floral Backsplash Ideas

Ceramic backsplashes can create a variety of floral themes. Use tiny squares of white, cream and tan tiles to create a stripe pattern. Add a large ceramic tile mosaic behind the stove. The mosaic should have a white background with a cream, yellow, pink and lilac flower bouquet scattered with dark and light green leaves.
Use green ceramic tiles and a large sunflower tile picture to create a backsplash design with a cheerful style. Border the top and bottom of the backsplash with tiny forest green tiles. Use alternating forest green and sunflower patterned tiles to create the body of the backsplash. Add a large, green trimmed tile picture of a single sunflower above the stove.
Modern Backsplash Ideas

Arrange an assortment of different-sized tiles to create a kitchen backsplash design with a modern feel. Use tiny lilac ceramic tiles, purple ceramic tiles, white ceramic tiles and light gray ceramic tiles mixed with large jade green glass tiles for a cheerful style. Use tiny aqua blue, light blue, light gray and white ceramic tiles with large cobalt blue glass tiles for an ocean style.
Unusual Backsplash Ideas

Combine ceramic tiles with other materials to create an artistic kitchen backsplash. Install alternating sea green and grass green ceramic tiles to create a thick line along the top and bottom of the backsplash. Create a looping, mint green, glass tile pattern with a white ceramic tile, sea green glass tile and gray slate tile background.
Create a vertical stripe pattern for a different kitchen backsplash. Start with a thin line of tiny black ceramic tiles next to a line of frosted glass tiles. Add lines of blue marble, magenta glass, taupe ceramic, dark wood and copper metal tiles, each one followed with a line of frosted glass tile.
