Kitchen wall tile ideas – bring color, pattern and style to vertical surfaces

Use metallic accents to make your kitchen walls tile ideas stand out. You can add a touch luxury to any kitchen by using silver, bronze and gold tiles. But it is best to keep your cabinets and paint color neutral and simple.

‘This metallic tile has a funny story behind it,’ says Ashton Joseph, senior interior designer at Texas-based By Design Interiors. ‘I actually saw a similar, shimmery backsplash in Kris Kardashian’s kitchen when flipping through a magazine. It was perfect! It was perfect! I showed it to my client. She loves bling and sparkles and happened to be a big Kardashian fan too so it really was the perfect tile for her kitchen so I’d say the design is “celebrity-inspired”.’

The result was nearly an exact match, a stainless steel brick mosaic with a matte finish from Thorntree.

‘The homeowner’s style is very chic, transitional with a love of clean lines, shine and bling,’ adds the designer. To accommodate larger families and social events, I kept the kitchen’s design open and sleek. It’s open-facing floor plan definitely allows the shimmery backsplash to be the star of the room.’
