kitchen design ideas tile backsplash

christie williams has a question about subwaytile. she loves the idea of a classic subway tile backsplash in her kitchen because it'sbudget friendly, but she doesn't want it to be boring. do we have any ideas? well, absolutely,christie, subway tile is a really smart timeless choice. it looks beautiful in any space. butone idea that a lot of homeowners don't think about is the option of running the subwaytile all the way from the countertop to the ceiling. this is a great way to create a realfocal point wall. and if you add some open shelves and some beautiful display items,that subway tile will truly stand out. another idea is to think about using a beveled ora raised tile, which will bring texture and dimension into your space. and if you optfor a color this will maximize the effect.

third idea is to think about grout. a darkgrout against a white subway tile, for example creates a vintage look and it really makesthe tile the star of your room. do you have a question for a bhg editor? post it in thecomments box below.
