4 Decorative Glass Backsplashes

Soothing Mosaic Tiles: This glass backsplash features tiny mosaic tiles for simple and contemporary style. The small-scale pattern adds interesting texture but seamlessly blends with the other kitchen elements. The tile's soft blue hue is inspired by nature and offers the ideal complement to glass-front cabinets backed by windows.

Color and Texture: Three-dimensional tile gives this glass backsplash textural appeal, while the bold red hue presents a punch of drama. The contemporary, rectangular tiles offer a welcome contrast to flat-front wood cabinetry and set a unique tone for the cooking area.

Striking in Blue: When a color works for you, why not stick with it? Various shades of blue ceramic tile on the backsplash coordinate with the blue range. Walnut cabinets around the range offer contrast from the various shades of blue, while a strip of glass mosaic tile above the range repeats another backsplash treatment used at the side of the kitchen.

Glass Blocks: This glass backsplash is stylish -- and eco-friendly, too. The tiles are created from glass that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill. A random pattern of green, yellow, and blue tiles adds visual energy to the room and provides dramatic pops of color amid the kitchen's predominantly neutral hues. Installed in an area above the range, the tiles create an eye-catching focal point for the cooking area but don't overpower the room.
