Backsplash and tile

Kitchen backsplash and tile in Hamilton County

The wall behind the counters, where most of the look comes from.

Tile

Subway and zellige are the classics. Small tile and patterns take longer to set than large format.

Slab

A quartz or stone slab backsplash matches the counter and has no grout lines.

Layout

Plan where the tile stops: under the uppers, at the ceiling, or at the window trim.

Outlets

Outlet covers sit in the tile. Plan their spots before tiling.

Grout

A darker grout hides kitchen stains better than white.
