Black is a timeless color that never goes out of style. It can add a sophisticated atmosphere to the room and help create an atmospheric atmosphere or contrast. A black kitchen backsplash is a cool idea – it will complete your dark room or add a bold accent to a neutral or pastel room. Want to see some ideas on how to rock this classic color on your kitchen backsplash? Here you are!
Back walls made of black tiles
Tiles are the most popular material for covering a kitchen backsplash because they are easy to clean and add structure to the room. Besides, there are many black tiles you can choose. These can be long and narrow herringbone tiles, trendy hexagon tiles of various sizes, edgy black subway tiles, matte honeycomb tiles, glazed square tiles and others. You can highlight your backsplash with contrasting grout – gray or white – or continue the style with matching grout.

Other black backsplashes
If tiles aren’t your thing, you can opt for paint or chalkboard paint, for example. The second option means you can chalk whatever you want, or your kids can use the back wall for their art. Painting a backsplash is a very cost-effective idea that can be implemented and renovated very quickly (if necessary) and is essential for many homeowners. Black stone and marble backsplashes can give the kitchen a sophisticated and chic atmosphere. Although they are expensive, they are very durable so they will last a very long time. Black shiplap and wood backsplashes also add texture and interest to the room, are much less expensive than stone or marble, and are also easier to install. Smooth black glass back panels fit perfectly into a minimalist space and give it a shiny touch. There are many ideas for black kitchen splashbacks. Just choose what suits your kitchen best!
