If you really want colour on your backsplash, choose a tile that offers a solid block of colour rather than a busy pattern. Often a busy pattern dates much more quickly than a solid finish. So, if you’re clear you’re decorating with blue, green, or yellow, AND you already have a decorating plan in place to pull the colour in, go for it! Install a happy colour on your backsplash especially if you are trying to inject some life into a slightly boring kitchen.
