Go for a classic white
White is clean and bright – a great choice for a kitchen. Metro tiles like these are ever popular, and for good reason. Widely available, they work in industrial and traditional kitchens alike. To keep the look fresh and modern, consider tiling from worktop to ceiling, as the owners of this kitchen chose to do.

Wow with natural stone
In a similar way to the elegance and interest that comes with having a marble splashback, natural stone, such as granite, can also work wonders in a kitchen. Here it pairs beautifully with the grey cabinets, the surfaces working together to evoke a contemporary country feel.

Play with pattern
If your heart is set on neutral shades but you want to inject some extra interest, consider hanging the tiles in a different way. Simply opting to arrange these honed stone tiles in a herringbone pattern adds a wonderful sense of texture to this otherwise minimal room.

Plump for an unusual shape
There’s no need to stick with squares or rectangles. These hexagonal mosaic tiles are a good example of an alternative. If you choose a dark colour, such as the slate grey in this kitchen, consider only partially tiling the wall and then painting above in a contrasting colour to bring more interest to a neutral space.

Pick patterns to period style
If you live in a period property, why not give a nod to this in your kitchen? If you’re lucky enough to have any original features intact, then buff them up and admire, otherwise consider picking tiles that hark back to a bygone era. As these tiles can sometimes be rather busy, try covering only one wall and pairing them with calm neutrals to avoid it looking too busy.

Up the luxe with cool marble
Even the smallest kitchen looks luxe with a marble splashback. Luxurious and less vulnerable than on a worktop, marble is perennially popular. You can also create a similar look with less expensive porcelain tiles that look like marble, such as these. Just remember, when installing it in a kitchen space, be sure to double check where all the power sockets need to go, so appropriate holes can be cut if necessary.

Incorporate brickwork
If you have an exposed brick wall in your kitchen, it might feel a shame to cover it up. Instead, consider working the wall into your kitchen plans in a way that celebrates its natural beauty.
If you don’t have a brick wall, consider using widely available brick slips (which are super-thin but look like full bricks when in situ) to create a feature area.

Gleam with back-painted glass
This beautiful kitchen and dining room plays with light in a very clever way. Aside from the huge windows, minimal look and shimmering light fitting, the back-painted glass brings yet more reflections to the space. Back-painted glass comes in almost limitless colour options, or why not try back-painting Perspex for a budget version?

Big up a feature area
If you want to bring interest to a kitchen, but you don’t have lots of free wall space, consider tiling a small area in a strong pattern, making it a feature in itself. This could be a single large decorative tile or an area of patterned smaller ones. Whether above a sink or cooker, it will be sure to turn heads for all the right reasons.

Go for a touch of tradition
This homely kitchen is quite a traditional space. The soft green cabinets demand a softer shade of tile, and these neutral ones do the job beautifully.
