Kitchen Tile Design Ideas

Shower & Bathroom Tile Design Too!

Kitchen tile design, bathroom tile design, tile backsplash design and tile shower design patterns are limitless. You can choose from hundreds of different materials, colors and textures to create endless combinations. And sometimes that’s the trouble. Where do you start?

Well, first review the tips on our Backsplash page to determine the general style or theme you’d like to create.

Recognize that there’s no single way to express a particular theme, but certain materials and textures are commonly used to produce a particular style. Then...

Once you’ve narrowed down the look or theme you want and played around with different patterns, start to consider the materials you’ll use: stone tiles, ceramic tiles, glass tiles or pieces.

Don't rule out metal tiles either. They come in all sizes with many compelling designs and make great accents.

Also, a copper backsplash, tin backsplash, tiles or pieces blend nicely with many style themes and color palettes. Maybe you want to incorporate a border as well?

Once you've picked out your materials you could simply choose among some of the common patterns such as:

  • brick
  • basket weave
  • checker board
  • block
  • herringbone
  • diamond
  • parquet
  • plaza
  • and many others...

But play around with your own ideas, because truly the number of possible patterns is infinite. You may also consider ordering pre-made tile design sheets for easier installation.

It's a great creative challenge and very rewarding too. Chances are whatever design you create will be completely original and unique. So have fun with it!

Tile Design Tips

Certainly visit as many showrooms as possible to get some solid ideas and a feel for the materials and textures used in many different designs.

You may find a patterns and materials that are perfect for you, but realize that backsplash ideas and materials can come from anywhere.

One good piece of advice is to keep your tile design simple. Use colors and elements that complement and blend well with each other, your kitchen cabinets and countertops. Think balance and harmony.

And if you want someone else to create your kitchen tile design then search locally or on the internet and you’ll find many people who can take your backsplash idea and create a pattern for you.

Good Luck!
