For 2023, bold colors, various materials, and not shying away from creativity are the hallmarks of backsplash ideas. Let your creativity shine by adding different patterns and finishes. There are a vast array of possibilities and choices. The top backsplash ideas for this upcoming year are as follows:

CLASSIC
Ceramic and porcelain backsplashes are considered the most classic. These choices never go out of style. They feature unusual patterns and distinct colors. Additionally, when going with the classic style, you can choose any pattern or color your heart desires to make the space uniquely yours. So, you can get creative!
GlOSSY OVER MATTE
Although we’ve seen a trend toward matte backsplashes over the past few years, 2023 will mark the dawn of a new, shiny look. Homes everywhere will be trending toward glossy rather than matte. As a result, your backsplash will make a big impact when you walk into your kitchen. Nearby surfaces such as fixtures will remain matte in the new year, so your backsplash will really be center stage when it’s glossy.
MATERIALS
Over the past decade, using numerous different types of tiles was considered overboard, but in 2023, get creative by mixing your materials. This will give your backsplash a really unique look. If you can’t make up your mind whether to use glass, porcelain, or marble, use all three! It may sound crazy, but you can use your imagination to create a style that is all your own. This is the hot new trend, so enjoy the process!

USE SUBWAY BEHIND YOUR SINK
Although using subway tiles in kitchens has been popular over the past few years, using it behind the sink has not been. But in 2023, the trend has subway tiles being applied behind the sink to create a dramatic look. Larger white tiles will be the hallmark of this new trend, as white kitchens will once again be the rage in 2023.
NATURAL
Besides large white tiles, colors with a natural look will also be popular in the upcoming year. Green is the choice for most designers in 2023. A popular new look is using shades of green to add an element of earthiness to your finished look. You can use vibrant, saturated, and other shades to blend with cream, white, or gray to give you a dynamic, trendy style.
GO HIGHER
Believe it or not, wall cabinetry is out for 2023. This means that your tile backsplash will not be limited to a certain height. Therefore, you don’t have to keep it to the standard 18-24 inch high mark. You can extend your backsplash to the ceiling if you’d like. In fact, new homes will see this high mark for their design in 2023, so you too can be on trend.
STONES
Using stone tiles will be big in 2023. This element will add texture and style to your kitchen. Think weathered finish or acid wash. Any way you decide to use them, stone tiles will add a breath of life to a boring kitchen. So, feel free to use them to create a dynamic backsplash.

MATCHING MARBLE
Your choice for a kitchen floor may be something simple and matte. So, you may decide to go with a trend that we’re seeing for 2023 that includes marble tile for your backsplash. Homeowners who would like to see their backsplash match their countertops will like this idea. It creates a smooth transition from one part of your space to another. Another great option is porcelain. Using porcelain will save you money and still resemble the rich look of marble
