An eye-catching backsplash is the perfect way to liven up your kitchen.
In this first photo, the light grey/blue cement tiles are beautifully balanced with the other light and muted tones coming from the walls and the light fixtures.
For your first colour risk, try something rich and summery like this shade of baby blue.

And to add a level of sophistication, ground the look by adding darker wood floors and brass accents.
Lastly, if you're looking to spice up an understated, contemporary kitchen, try experimenting with different patterns in order to create something truly unique.

The reason this metallic wash works so incredibly well because every other piece in the bedroom is really neutral.
To take that concept one step further, start by slowly introducing other patterns. With the right execution, it can add quite the creative flair to your space.
