30+ Subway Tile Kitchen Backsplash Background. Subway tile backsplashes have long been an interior staple and for good reason. A backsplash may seem small and like it has only a purpose of protecting the wall, but actually it can be, and in recent times has become a major focal point in many kitchen.
For everyone tired of the white subway tile trend (and we know you're out there!) here's something to cleanse your palate:
It's classic, affordable and works with a variety of kitchen styles. The subway tile is one of my favorite parts of mom's new kitchen! I love how the electrical outlets are hardly even noticeable in the tile! It's obvious that subway tile works well as a narrow backsplash or covering a full wall, but we also adore this alcove stove from remodelista.
