Backsplash for Island Sink

A backsplash for an island sink does more than protect walls; it sets the tone for one of the most visible spots in the kitchen. Because the sink is in constant view, tile gives the design definition without being overwhelming. You can easily get creative with marble or quartzite slabs that extend above the counter for a high-contrast look that pairs well with the rest of the layout. Mosaics in glass or stone are the perfect spot to use color to create a harmonious detail, while porcelain tiles can be installed in ways that balance the impactful design of your countertops. By using a neutral-colored subway tile, you can create a look that is timeless, letting the rest of the space stay connected. If you want to create a distinctive feature, think about how limestone or travertine adds a bit of edge to the island, inspiring you to see it not only as a workstation but as the centerpiece that ties into your home.
