No 9 MAKE A SPLASH

EASY UPGRADE This kitchen, designed for Jillian Harris, features a gorgeous mosaic backsplash made of honeycomb-shaped marble tiles. Spanning the entire height of one wall, it adds a subtle pattern to the space. Combined with a neutral colour palette and industrial accents, like the range hood, the space has a cool, modern bistro vibe. A word of warning: Choose the shape, the finish and the colour of tiles carefully. You’ll want to live with your backsplash for years to come, so don’t select a style that’s too bold or trendy.

WHY WE LOVE IT Replacing a backsplash is a budget-friendly update you can tackle on your own.
