Adding Color and Personality to Your Kitchen with Patterned Tile
Introducing a patterned tile to your neutral kitchen can give it color and personality. This blue-and-white tile pops against soft gray cabinets, white countertops, and dramatic wood ceiling beams. Gold fixtures and cabinet pulls further liven up the space.Patterned tile isn’t just for backsplashes — you can add it to a floor or even the back of a kitchen island, as shown here.Keep other textures and decorative shapes in the room to a minimum so they don’t compete with your patterned tile. In this kitchen, the high contrast between two neutrals — white on the upper cabinets and black on the lower cabinets, range hood, and window frames — creates a tension that also helps make the room interesting.
