Yucatan Tile Dots Spice Up a Kitchen Backsplash

A few small hand-painted dots used randomly to create subtle interest that doesn't clash with the granite or tile. In this design, Spanish Teruel 1.5" x 1.5" Dots were used as accents for the Yucatan Chamois 4" x 4" field tile laid on-point. The 4"x4" bull-nosed tile were cut for the top trim, further reducing costs by avoiding more-costly trims. Notice how the wall outlets don't mess up the decorative tile insets?

San Jose Spanish Tile for Kitchen Backsplash

This Mediterranean-inspired kitchen backsplash was created by alternating hand-painted Spanish tile products from our Barcelona Spanish ceramic tile collection. Using our San Jose 6"x6" quarter tiles together with our San Jose 3"x3" tiles behind the sink area, the designer really understood the allure of this hand-painted Spanish tile series.

Barcelona Tiles Adds Depth to Bathroom Backsplash

Combining deco tiles in different sizes can be used to add visual interest. Separating them with a field trim piece helps to define the space. Using trim pieces can also bring one of the primary colors from the deco tiles to the forefront, such as the deep blue in this case. Whether you want to define a space or add a dose of bold color, we recommend using our Yucatan Ceramic Field Tile collection, and its extensive molding and trim options. Yucatan is offered in a multitude of glaze colors. Although it is made to order, we do offer glazed...

Spanish Kitchen Backsplash with San Jose Quarter Tile

Create an eye-catching kitchen backsplash with our vibrant San Jose series of hand-painted Spanish tile.   For this Mediterranean look, the designer chose the San Jose Quarter 6" x 6" tiles, from our Barcelona collection, in a repeating pattern.

For a bold contrast, we suggest bordering the tiled area with a brightly colored quarter round or liner tile, such as our Yucatan Ceramic Field Tile collection....
