What is a Timeless Backsplash?

Sep 19

The kitchen has become the heart of the home. It's a gathering place for our families and friends. Adding an updated backsplash can give your kitchen a fresh look. However, the backsplash can quickly reveal a kitchen's age. So, what makes a backsplash timeless? Subway tile will stay current for a timeless kitchen design, more so than any other tile.

Is Your Backsplash Dating Your Kitchen? Trendy or Timeless?

If you're thinking about remodeling your kitchen but aren't ready for a complete overhaul, adding a new backsplash is a great way to update your kitchen. When choosing a style, it's best to go for a classic look rather than a trendy one, as classic styles remain stylish for longer. Look at the tiles below and see that each year's trendy designs quickly became outdated. On the other hand, choosing subway tiles for your backsplash will give you a timeless look. Additionally, subway tiles don't just have to be white; they come in various colors and still maintain a timeless appeal. Also you can play with the grout colors to match your cabinets or floors.

Subway Tile Comes in Many shapes and Sizes

Traditional subway tiles are white 5" x 2.5" tiles; however, modern variations can be round, square, octagonal, or large rectangles. Your choice of tile size should be influenced by your personal preference and the color scheme of your kitchen design.

Older Kitchens with New Tile

There is nothing wrong with an older-style kitchen. However, adding a trendy tile will not mix well with dated countertops and cabinets. Instead, going with a clean, crisp, colorful subway tile with a neural grout color that works with your countertops would be a better investment.
