#1 Classic Subway Tile

One iconic feature of the modern farmhouse style is the use of exposed brick. However, for a creative and contemporary twist, we suggest replacing the brick with subway tile. Whether installed in a traditional layout or arranged in a herringbone pattern, subway tile offers the same aesthetic appeal while providing added convenience. With its ceramic material, this farmhouse backsplash for kitchens is not only visually appealing but also much easier to clean. Embrace the charm of the modern farmhouse style while enjoying the practical benefits of subway tile in your kitchen design.

Add a touch of sophistication and visual intrigue to your farmhouse kitchen with the timeless elegance of black subway tiles. But why stop there? Take it a step further and create a captivating design by arranging the tiles in a herringbone pattern. The result is a striking and dynamic farmhouse kitchen backsplash that effortlessly combines classic charm with a modern twist.

The dark hue of the black subway tiles adds depth and richness to the space, while the herringbone layout injects a sense of movement and energy. This unique arrangement elevates the overall aesthetic of your kitchen, creating a focal point that draws the eye and sparks conversation.

#2 Neutral Tones

When it comes to farmhouse style, practicality is key, especially when selecting colors for your kitchen. Opting for neutral shades ensures a timeless appeal that effortlessly complements any decor. However, to add a touch of intrigue and visual interest, we recommend selecting a glaze with more variation.

Neutral colors provide a versatile foundation for your farmhouse kitchen, allowing you to experiment with different design elements and accessories without worrying about clashing hues. Shades like soft whites and natural light green create a serene and welcoming atmosphere that stands the test of time.

It's time to create a kitchen that embodies the essence of farmhouse living and reflects your personal style.

#3 Floating Open Shelving

Open shelving is a delightful addition to your kitchen, infusing it with charm and character. Whether adorned with vintage accessories or neatly organized plates and glasses, open shelves offer a captivating display that showcases your personal style. What makes this option even more appealing is the way the tile backsplash peeks through, adding a touch of beauty and ensuring that your open shelves always make a stunning statement.

The vertical subway tile backsplash behind the open shelves serves as a striking backdrop, elevating the visual appeal of your kitchen. As light filters through the shelves, the pearl-glazed handmade subway tiles’ exquisite design and color palette are accentuated, creating a captivating interplay of textures and hues. This adds depth and visual interest to the space, making your open shelves a focal point that effortlessly catches the eye.

#4 Wood Elements

To recreate the cozy ambiance of a rustic barn, incorporate plenty of layered wood accents throughout your kitchen. These natural elements add warmth and character to the space, creating an inviting atmosphere reminiscent of a countryside retreat. For a modern twist, explore a range of wood finishes, favoring warm and deeper tones that bring a contemporary touch to the design.

The choice of wood finishes plays a significant role in enhancing the appearance of the fish scale tile in your kitchen. The interplay between wood and fan shape mosaic tile creates a captivating contrast that adds visual interest and depth. Consider the image below, where wood cabinetry is featured instead of the original color. This alternative choice highlights the transformative power of cabinetry color, as it dramatically influences the overall look and feel of the fish scale mosaic tile.

#5 Antique Fitting

Living on a farm meant finding purpose in repurposing, and this ideology extends to creating an authentic farmhouse kitchen. Seek out vintage and antique items to incorporate into your kitchen, infusing it with rustic charm and nostalgia. By integrating these unique pieces, you can create an atmosphere that exudes the true essence of farmhouse living.

Just as vintage and antique items add character to your kitchen, the pearl-glaze color of your handmade tile can also play a significant role in capturing the farmhouse aesthetic. Consider opting for a weathered look with our selection of simple colors, which provide a sophisticated and timeworn finish.
