A new aesthetic with a classic feel

Would you like to give your kitchen a modern spin only by changing the layout of the tiles?

A vertical tile backsplash can do it for you.

Recently, vertical tile backsplashes have become a fad that gives the kitchen a modern uplift while still preserving its timeless look. You can achieve a vertical arrangement with many tiles, including matchstick, subway, elongated picket tile backsplashes or anything that resembles a rectangular at least with longer and shorter sides!

Make the Space Feel Higher with Vertical Tiles

A vertical tile backsplash introduces a new aesthetic value with a modern appeal but can be transferred to the kitchens with a classic look as well! They can be laid out in stacked or running-bond style, depending on the homeowners' taste and the look they aim for. For rustic kitchen lovers, for example, stone-looking subway tiles such as handmade terracotta and zellige tiles can be aligned vertically as their protruding edges will clash with each other and create layers of texture and authenticity. As such, it doesn't come as a surprise that versatile vertical tile backsplashes are popular and widely used as part of home improvement projects. In this blog, we share multiple design examples to give you a more solid background on how vertical tile backsplashes could be incorporated with other elements and achieve harmonious integrity. #austinrealtor #kitchentrends #roundrockrealtor #georgetownrealtor #kitchenremodel ⭐️Overall rating: 5/5
