Variations in color found naturally in handmade tile give a backsplash distinct one-of-a-kind detailing, as you can see rippling across the Picket backsplash below (learn more about color variation here). Always be sure to sample your chosen colors and observe them in the space you'll install them in a variety of lighting conditions.

We love the way our soothing green Rosemary glaze complements the natural wood grain cabinets of this modern Scandi kitchen, effortlessly marrying old-world coziness with contemporary elegance.

A barely saturated green looks great on brick as well. The glossy glaze dresses up the rough brick while still revealing its textured character. Paired with dark cabinets the color leans grey.

The same brick paired with light cabinets lets the green tones lead. Notice the excellent craftsmanship on the mitered corners of the range hood.

Green Tile Bathroom Backsplash

In the bathroom, the principles of a kitchen backsplash hold true, although the bathroom generally offers more areas for tile. It's always a good idea to extend your bathroom backsplash to your shower and/or wainscot—the lush space below demonstrates both.
