Decorative Tile and Backsplash Tile and Hand Painted

It is our passion to create unique and beautifully colorful tiles that people choose to decorate and design their homes with. The colorful tiles on this site are not only used for kitchen backsplashes or bathroom walls, but also for interior decorating of every room in your home, and exterior decorating of outside living spaces such as patios, garden walls or fountain backsplashes. The backsplash tile area in your kitchen is one of the most important design elements in your house, because the kitchen is where you spend a lot of your time, it is a central essential living space. Your family gets together in the kitchen for meals, you cook there and maybe have friends over for coffee, so a nice decorative tile is needed. You have to spend some time choosing the right tile backsplash - color, design, and size - because you will see this area every day.

Unique decorative tile & tile murals

The standard space for a kitchen backsplash is usually 18 inches in height. This height is the measured space of the backsplash between the kitchen counter top and the cupboards. This is where you can be very creative in using colorful tile to decorate your kitchen backsplash. You can create a beautiful effect with ceramic tiles and tile murals which really appeals to you, not just your designer. You will after all, use your kitchen every day, so which tiles you install there is important. In the picture to the left, Shelley chose the Peacock and Pomegranate backsplash tile, and installed it in her kitchen. As you can see, she has a height greater than 18 inches here, between her countertop and the range hood. She used this tile mural because it is a unique design with peacocks and pomegranates, and has vibrant, fresh colors. The background is light blue, and there are bright reds, yellows, greens and cobalt blues there. It has definitely added a lot of color in her kitchen. The size of the tile mural here is 24 x 30 inches. We also have tiles for backsplashes that are 18 inches high.
Kitchen Backsplash Ideas
Many people do not pay much attention to kitchen decoration when they are renovating their house. However, kitchen is perhaps the only place in your home where you, especially the mom, spends maximum time of the day and therefore, it is better to have a fresh and refreshing look and ambiance in the kitchen. Kitchen Tile Backsplash is one of the best ideas due to its numerous advantages.  With nice designer and colorful tiles as the Kitchen Backsplash, you can get rid of the drab and sluggish look of the kitchen.

Apart from the most common tile kitchen Backsplash idea, there are couple of more good ideas including Mediterranean kitchen, metallic options such as stainless steel and copper, old world look withbiege, cream, gold and light brown colors, polished granite of the matching color with counter-top, murals and mosaics, and contemporary kitchen with bold and bright colored tiles as the Kitchen Backsplash. The best part of a fabulous kitchen backsplash is the lighting arrangement with dimmers and spot lights highlighting specific areas of the kitchen.

Pattern tiles for a kitchen backsplash


We just received a picture of this beautiful kitchen from Great Britain Tile.  They used the Minore Antiqued tiles in the Charcoal/Green color as the focal point for the backsplash. The tiles are printed on our 6x6 Light Traver-tine stone.
The Minor Antiqued is a very subtle fusion of color and patterns.  It is not a design which jumps out at you. Instead, it hints at something old and timeless.  It lingers and slowly unfolds its many turns and mysteries; like an ancient Grecian city or a pathway through the old town of Tangier.
