A splashback is more than just protection for your kitchen walls — it’s one of the easiest ways to bring style and personality into the heart of your home. The right kitchen splashback tiles keep walls safe from splashes, stains, and steam while adding colour, texture, or pattern to the room. Whether you prefer something subtle or bold, splashback tiles give you the freedom to create a look that reflects your taste.
Tiles are the most practical choice for splashbacks because they are durable, water resistant, and easy to clean. A simple wipe is usually all it takes to remove grease or marks. Unlike paint, tiles won’t fade, so they stay looking good even in busy kitchens. With a wide choice of colours and finishes, they also let you match your splashback with the rest of your kitchen design.
Popular Styles of Kitchen Splashback Tiles
At Top Ceramics, we offer a wide selection of kitchen wall tiles perfect for splashbacks.
- Metro tiles are the most classic choice. Their rectangular shape works well in both traditional and modern kitchens, and they can be laid in horizontal rows, stacked vertically, or in a herringbone pattern for extra interest. White metro tiles remain timeless, but coloured versions — especially green or blue — are a strong trend for adding personality.
- Mosaic tiles are ideal if you want more texture or detail. They come in many colours and finishes and are particularly popular for adding highlights behind sinks or hobs.
- Patterned tiles are a bold way to make a splashback the focal point of the kitchen. Geometric designs, vintage-inspired motifs, and Victorian-style patterns bring character and charm.
- Stone effect and marble effect tiles create a more elegant look. These finishes give you the feel of natural stone without the maintenance, making them a practical option for daily life.
- Large-format tiles are also becoming a favourite choice. With fewer grout lines, they give a sleek, modern appearance and make cleaning much easier. This makes them perfect if you love the look of a seamless surface that feels uncluttered and simple to maintain.
Colour Ideas for Splashbacks
Colour can completely change how your kitchen feels. White kitchen tiles brighten up the space and give a clean, timeless look. For a calm, modern style, soft grey tiles or beige tiles are easy to pair with cabinets in almost any shade.
If you want something bolder, green tiles and blue kitchen tiles are among the most popular trends, adding freshness and depth. Pink tones are perfect if you’d like a playful, contemporary look, while black or burgundy splashback tiles add drama and contrast, especially against lighter worktops.
Design Tips
The splashback is an area where you can afford to experiment. Even in small kitchens, a patterned or colourful tile can transform the room without overwhelming it. If your cabinets and floors are neutral, a bold splashback adds balance. On the other hand, if your kitchen already has strong colours, a simple white or stone-inspired tile can keep things calm and grounded.
