Kitchen design enhanced with a backsplash that fits your personal style
A well-designed backsplash can transform the look of your kitchen while providing an important practical benefit. A backsplash protects walls from grease and water. At NYC Kitchen & Bath, we help homeowners design backsplashes that don’t just look beautiful, but actually work well with cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and the overall style of the home.
We offer backsplash design services for kitchens in apartments, condos, townhomes, and houses throughout the Tri-State Area, featuring a wide range of materials and finishes from classic tile to sleek glass to rustic metal. You can even create something fully customized that reflects your particular taste and our team will help you pick the materials and finishes that feel true to your style.
Create a Cohesive Kitchen Design
Your backsplash is one of the first things people notice in a kitchen, the material, color, and pattern you choose can pull the whole room together. Matching backsplash and countertop creates a cohesive kitchen design. A neutral backsplash, for instance, lets bold quartz countertops shine, while a more decorative backsplash can stand out beautifully against simple, understated cabinetry.
If you’re going for a warmer, more natural feel, pairing natural wood cabinetry with stone is a great way to get there. Natural wood cabinetry paired with stone creates a warm, cohesive look. Dark wood cabinetry tends to look best balanced with lighter stone or ceramic tile, while white cabinetry is versatile enough to work with almost any backsplash material you have in mind.
Our designers look at your kitchen as a whole when planning your backsplash, from countertop edges and wall cabinets to lighting, hardware, flooring, and appliances, so everything comes together the way it should.
Tile Backsplash Options for NYC Kitchens
Tile is still one of the most flexible choices when you’re renovating a kitchen. Patterned tiles are gaining popularity for adding visual interest in NYC kitchens, a bold pattern can bring in personality without you having to change anything else about the space.
Then there’s the subway tile backsplash. A timeless design choice that never goes out of style. Subway tile remains a staple in New York City kitchens and it’s easy to see why: clean lines that work just as well in traditional kitchens as they do in transitional or contemporary ones.
For smaller kitchens and NYC apartments, glossy ceramic tiles bounce light around compact NYC kitchens, which really helps a tight space feel brighter and more open. Going with large-format tiles is another good move as fewer grout lines provides a cleaner, more streamlined aesthetic.
Materials, Colors, and Finishes
Picking the right backsplash can completely shape the mood of your kitchen. We invite you to come browse our 7,000-8,000 sq ft. showroom where you will find a full array of samples and displays featuring popular materials, colors, and finishes to help you land on the perfect backsplash for your dream kitchen.
Warm neutrals are becoming more popular in NYC kitchen designs, giving homeowners a softer, more comfortable option than stark white or cool gray. Metal finishes are another great way to add character as metal finishes can bring an industrial touch to NYC kitchens, especially when paired with modern fixtures, exposed details, or minimalist cabinetry.
Want something truly one of a kind? Custom backsplashes can be made from all kinds of materials, including glass and stone. Our design team will help you weigh your options based on look, upkeep, durability, and how well each one fits with your kitchen’s existing or planned finishes.
