Gorgeous Mosaic Tile Kitchen Backsplashes and Coordinating Faucets
Backsplashes have long been the final finishing touch of good kitchen design – subway tile, marble and mosaic tiles are also among the stunning backgrounds adorning modern day kitchens. But pair them incorrectly? Visual pandemonium can ensue. Coupling them with the correct faucet can pull the entire kitchen space together, and to help tell a cohesive visual story. Let this be your guide to breaking down different styles of backsplash, when to use them and what faucets they are best complemented with.
Bold Geometric & Glass Mosaic
Featuring sharp lines, large patterns and a glossy finish, geometric mosaic tiles are best suited to contemporary and modern kitchen spaces. Faucets that are sleek and minimalist pair best with mosaic tile and play into the geometric lines of backsplash patterns. Finishes such as chrome, matte black and gold are sure to help make the most of the mosaics’ unique flair. Tip: for cool tone tiles, opt for chrome or black faucet finishes and for warm toned tiles opt for gold or bronze faucet finishes to best compliment the geometric tiles! The Olympia Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet is our recommendation for kitchens with geometric mosaic tiles.
Natural Stone & Marble Mosaic
Subtle texture, elegance and timelessness could all be used to describe the beauty of natural stone. Natural stone is best paired with classic, traditional, and transitional design styles, particularly in high-end kitchen design aesthetics. Faucets that feature a curved or gooseneck style pair excellently with natural stone, and mimic the natural curves in the veins of the tile. Finishes that are neutral like brushed nickel or polished chrome will help to echo the classic and timeless essence of the natural stone, and stand the test of time. Tip: Choosing a faucet that can step back and let the natural stone be the star will allow the focus to remain the tile. The Olympia Single Handle Pre-Rinse Spring Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet is our pick for natural stone backsplashes.
Colorful Ceramic Mosaic
If you are looking for an artisanal look with lots of personality, colorful ceramic mosaic tiles is the backsplash choice for you. It works best in mediterranean, spanish and eclectic style kitchen designs. Vintage and unique faucet styles best suit the funky nature of the colorful ceramic patterns – in addition, antique copper and oil rubbed bronze faucet finishes keep the unique vibe going. Tip: To let the colorful ceramic and unique faucet shine, utilize a more neutral palette for the rest of the kitchen surfaces. The Pioneer Two Handle Kitchen Bridge Faucet is our recommendation for colorful ceramic tile backsplashes.
Wrapping Up
While backsplashes and faucets may not seem like they intersect much, choosing their design wisely (and coordinating) them, allows for not only cohesiveness in design but also elevates your overall design style.
