A recent Arcilook blog post on kitchen backsplashes caught our eye. As Arcilook details:

“If you’re looking for one project that can truly transform your kitchen into a space you’ll love to share (without spending a fortune), consider upgrading your backsplash.”

We completely agree, but we also want to take it one step further: A backsplash can add a lot to the look of not only the kitchen, but also bath and powder rooms. Here are some beautiful backsplashes sure to inspire.

This backsplash makes a statement behind the stove, pulling in shades of brown, gray and cream from the surrounding cabinets, walls and countertops.

A textured stone wall is the backsplash for this bath vanity.

Here, glass mosaic tile wainscot becomes the backsplash for the vanity.

The following four photos are all from design projects by Home on the Range.

This is a detailed look at the  kitchen back splash we used in a home we just completed in Steamboat.  See below for pictures of the kitchen and how the back splash pulled everything together.

The colors in this backsplash work well with a green slate countertop, painted green cabinet and the golden brown tone of the antique white oak cabinetry.

The tile works beautifully with the custom concrete sink and counter top from Concrete Revolution

Note the green painted cabinet under the window and the slate counter top in the foreground. The same slate was used on the lower island counter top as well.

An iridescent glass tile backsplash is the perfect complement to the stone wall in this recreation bar below.
