Kitchen Wall & Backsplash Tiles, Photographed in Real Rooms

Our kitchen wall and backsplash tiles, photographed installed. The backsplash is the one surface you look at while you cook and wipe down every day, so it is worth seeing how a tile reads across a whole run rather than as a single piece. Some of these tiles suit a bathroom too and are shown there.

479 photographs, showing 169–192.

Judge the Run, Not the Tile

A backsplash is a band roughly 500 to 600 mm high between the counter and the wall units. That proportion is what makes a tile work or not: a large format covers it in two or three pieces with almost no grout, while a subway brick fills it with pattern. Both are in here.

Where the Cuts Land

Sockets, switch plates and the chimney bracket all interrupt a backsplash. In the photographs that look calm, the full tiles land in the middle of the run and the cuts are pushed to the ends, behind the tall unit or under the wall cupboard.

Gloss Behind the Hob

Cooking oil lifts off a glossy glaze with one wipe and sits in the texture of a matt tile. That is why so many of these kitchens are glossy above the counter even when the floor is matt.

Every photograph above links to the tile in it. To browse by design instead, see Subway, Highlighter or Marble & Stone . For advice rather than photographs, read our backsplash ideas guide.
