Top 5 Kitchen Tile Backsplash Ideas - Behind the Cooktop
Tile Backsplash Ideas for the Kitchen Top 5 Tile Design Ideas for Behind the Cooktop Whether you're considering buying a new home or remodeling your current home, a tile backsplash can add both value and drama to your kitchen, while making those walls easy to clean.
While you can add a full height tile backsplash later, it can make sense to install at the same time the new countertops go in.  You'll have a clean line from countertop to cabinets, and won't have to worry about removing a standard 3"-4" laminate or granite splash later.
Here are some great ideas for your kitchen tile backsplash, with a focus on design themes behind the cooktop or range!

 
Kitchen Backsplash Tile Idea #1 Use 3"x6" subway tiles in contrasting colors.

The inset pattern uses the same tiles in a contrasting color, set on the diagonal, surrounded by a pencil width listello accent.
The cost of your tile backsplash will depend not only on the cost of materials, but also on the complexity of the pattern.
