If you’re tired of seeing all-white kitchens but like the idea of a clean, neutral color scheme, then a grey kitchen backsplash may be for you. With its soft and unpretentious tone, grey is an ideal alternative to white. Grey tile is often laid in subway or herringbone patterns, and can come with a glazed finish that brightens up the space with a touch of glamor.
Although grey is often used as an alternative to white, it is frequently paired with white kitchen cabinetry to add subtle depth to the cabinets without stealing attention away from them. For modern kitchen backsplashes, a slab of custom cut grey marble makes a stunning statement, particularly when it is also used elsewhere in the kitchen, such as on top of the island. A grey kitchen tile backsplash is the way to go if you want an elegant kitchen that is both refreshing and timeless.
