Cement Tile Design Ideas — Backsplash/Wall

Because of their durability and design flexibility, cement tiles are an excellent choice for commercial installations. With their vibrant colors and distinguished patterns, you'll often see them used in locations other than the floor. For this project, the designers chose cement tiles for the restaurant's counter.

Mark and Erin C. from central New York were researching options for their upcoming kitchen remodel. They hadn't found a tile for the range backsplash. To work with the existing brick, they desired a tile that was hardy yet radiated a handmade look.

Relief cement tile are not commonly found here in the United States. Installations are often limited to monochromatic geometric patterns for pool decks, sidewalks, and utility room floors. These tiles and designs don't fully capture the stunning sculpture or clever subterfuge that you'll find in today's cement tile relief designs. Although generally used as a flooring tile, these relief cement tiles are best-suited and most appreciated on a wall application where you are tempted to touch and feel the sculptured, textured design.

The field pattern uses only Light Turquoise and...
