2023 Backsplash Trends For Your Kitchen
The backsplash is the signature object of the kitchen. It’s often easier to be daring for a ceramic kitchen backsplash than for a floor. Do not hesitate to play with this element of the decor. Dare the color, a specific format or even the texture! It’s always stimulating and it helps you define what really appeals to you. For that, here are 2023 backsplash trends for your kitchen (hoping they will make you want to choose a unique backsplash that reflects your style).
Square Tiles in small format
In 2023, square tiles is a hot trend for backsplashes. The square shape is associated with small tiles (3×3, 4×4 and 5×5). This trend seems inspired by traditional zellige tiles, these monochrome ceramic tiles made by hand in Morocco. Each zellige tile is unique. This is why ceramics with color variations are quite popular.
The terracotta color and its variations, THE 2023 trend even for a kitchen backsplash
You will not escape it! Terracotta and warm colours, ranging from brown to orange via burgundy, are sweeping through our interior decoration. Benjamin Moore named “Raspberry Swirl” as its 2023 color of the year. At SICO, shades such as “Tobacco Brown” and “Faux Leather” can be found in the trending color palette for 2023.
Large format tiles
Oversized tiles are in vogue. And that goes for a kitchen backsplash too. The advantage of large format tiles is that there are fewer joints. The surface therefore becomes easier to clean. In addition, XXL tiles give the illusion of a larger space.
Matte satin finish tiles
There are many ceramic finishes: glossy, polished, matte, textured or 3D, for example. In 2023, the matte satin finish stands out. Super soft, without being shiny, it is composed of a smooth and matte surface. It’s kind of like beautiful silky skin! It is also the finish that cleans best. It can be found on many of our products such as the Element Aurora matte tile, the Texiture wall ceramic (fall/winter 2022 collection), the Plain collection or the magnificent Alchemy.
Embossed Tiles
And yes, you read correctly, we are going to tell you about 3D relief tiles! They are usually quite rare. But not in 2023! It’s the return of the 1970s style with our flagship collection illustrating this trend well: the Biscuit. This wall ceramic is presented as a decorative covering that is characterized by retro design patterns and comes in several powdery tones. Beautiful!
Blue green: the other trendy color of 2023
2023 is under the sign of blue green. Bétonel calls it “Climbing Ivy”, Benjamin Moore called it “North Sea Green” and Sico “Melting Water”. Regardless of its name, all agree on a combination of deep green and blue, with a slight touch of gray. This shade is particularly beautiful for dressing an interior. It goes wonderfully with warmer tones such as beige or yellow tones. It also blends very well with natural materials such as wood and wicker.
Additional tip
In interior design, we sometimes tend to confuse dark with dark. The term dark describes a color while the word dark refers to luminosity. A room can be dressed in dark colors without being dark. Good lighting is essential in an interior. Even if a room is bright during the day, it will be less so in winter or at night. In conclusion: if you choose a dark color, think about creating an adequate lighting atmosphere in this space.
