Inspiration #22

This week’s inspiration goes back to the kitchen. More specifically, to the kitchen backsplash. Because whether it’s for cleaning function or aesthetic flair, backsplashes prove their value time and time again.

This is the latest in a weekly post of residential architecture inspiration. If you want to see past weeks, you can go here. If you want to see them curated on my pinterest (sometimes before they even hit the blog), go here.

This kitchen backsplash is so muted you can hardly tell it’s there. Paired with the minimal drawer fronts and open shelves, it’s the perfect touch to carry through the calmness of this kitchen.

To mix it up right away, check out this fantastic kitchen backsplash with flair. It brings a bit of a mid-century vibe to these modern cabinets without overwhelming the design.

The white kitchen backsplash here transforms into a full wall of tile. Unnecessary from a cleaning perspective, but gorgeous just the same.

Another bright color in this kitchen backsplash – this one definitely has me thinking of summer…but wondering what it feels like in winter? This kitchen must be in a tropical location where they don’t have to worry about that.

More bright geometries with a very simple cabinet layout. It appears to be paired with concrete countertops too. Both are very nice, but maybe trendy?

Las but not least, a beautiful light grey kitchen backsplash paired with muted kitchen cabinets and dark, gorgeous bases. If I do anything other than monochrome, this is where my color palette will live.
