Black Tile Backsplashes Done Right

By Kate Riley • August 29, 2019

I’ve painted walls and furniture black, and installed black (and white) wallpaper, and bought black furniture, and used black hardware on cabinets, but I’ve never considered a black tile backsplash, until now. A tile backsplash is far more permanent than wallpaper or paint which is why I’ve hesitated, I mean, it’s stuck to the wall so it’s not like you can change it easily.

But I can’t deny, black tile looks oh so sleek. The key to pulling it off is to install in a kitchen or bathroom with natural light and to use plenty of white and wood for balance and contrast. Take a cue from these black tile backsplashes done right!

  1. Love the black herringbone pattern with the white floor and cabinets. Perfection!

  2. I think these work because there is so much light and because there is space and contrast around all of the black. I do love the handmade looking tiles as well as the herringbone!
