Hexagon Tile Backsplash

Hexagon Backsplash: The Most Vintage Design For The Most Modern Interiors

Do you know what we like best? Our absolute favorite design secret? An energetic hexagon backsplash. Kitchens and bathrooms are usually full of straight lines and hard angles (because minimalism was on top for a long time, and it required that!), rectangular cabinets, square islands, and flat countertops. Adding a hexagon backsplash will break all the sharp looking design and is one of the best customization options, a cute one. The best part is? No matter what you are putting together a modern hexagon kitchen backsplash or if you're into a classic, traditional feel, this six sided shape just naturally fits.

Have a kitchen that doesn't feel so well, even though you did everything to make it look better? Here's the solution: A well planned geometric kitchen backsplash acts as the star piece for the room. When you are looking for the right kitchen backsplash tile, the honeycomb shape is one of the joyful, most reliable design choices you can make because a high quality hexagon backsplash genuinely never goes out of style. It's the design you'll see on interior design magazines every time you look at them.

Picking the Right Material for Your Daily Routine

The material you choose for your hexagon backsplash should match how you actually use your kitchen.

• If you love baking and do a lot of heavy cooking, a ceramic tile backsplash is incredibly practical. It wipes clean easily with a damp sponge and resists grease and sauce stains.
• If your kitchen doesn't get a ton of natural light, using a glass backsplash tile is a smart design move because the reflective surface will bounce the light for you, and you'll get both an aesthetic look and a space with daylight.
• On the other hand, if you want a timeless, historic feel for your hexagon backsplash, a natural stone tile is hard to beat. Using a marble backsplash tile or a specific marble hexagon tile brings in soft, natural veining that makes the wall look completely custom. Here's the trick: follow our clearance tile sale and find the best marble at more affordable prices. So that you can create your dream kitchen, with almost a customized design.
• Even a simple, unpolished stone mosaic tile adds an organic texture for a hexagon backsplash, and sometimes all we need is a lived in texture.

How Grout Colors with Hexagon Backsplash Completely Change the Look?

Here is a highly practical piece of advice we always share with customers: your grout choice will completely alter how your hexagon backsplash looks. If you want a quiet background, pair a white hexagon tile with matching white grout. A full white design will provide you with a look that looks like a whole, monochromatic beauty. But if you want the shape to stand out, use a hexagon tile with dark grout. That contrast outlines every single piece and makes your hexagon backsplash pop visually. You can also play with the tile color itself. A black hexagon tile with white grout creates a striking focal point, especially in coffee spaces and other commercial tile projects. Meanwhile, a grey hexagon tile or a muted blue hexagon tile adds a nice wash of color, the calmest choices in the color variations. Want to keep things alive and colorful? Then, choose a pink hexagon or a yellow one and experience the hexagon backsplash in its peak!

Getting the Scale Right: Small Tile vs Large Tile with Hexagon Backsplash?

Scale is just as important as the color of your hexagon backsplash. A standard 1-inch or 2-inch hexagon mosaic tile is one of the most wanted choices by our customers. It adds a lot of texture, and the smaller sheets are very forgiving to install if your drywall isn't perfectly flat. (And also, you can make a DIY project with it by yourself) But if you hate scrubbing grout lines, you might want to look at a large hexagon tile. Bigger tiles mean fewer seams, which creates a much cleaner, contemporary look for a hexagon backsplash. Another really popular option right now is the elongated hexagon tile, often called a picket tile. This shape stretches the traditional honeycomb tile backsplash vertically or horizontally. Running them vertically is a great visual trick for making low kitchen and bathroom ceilings feel taller. Hexagon backsplashes don't have to be the only aesthetic item around you; you can even use them as a trick!

Taking the Honeycomb Pattern into Bathrooms and Showers

This shape isn't just for cooking spaces. A hexagon backsplash will look great behind a bathroom vanity to protect the drywall from splashing water, but the real benefit comes when you use it on the floor. If you are planning a hexagon tile bathroom update, consider using the smaller sheets in wet areas. The extra grout lines inherent in a smaller hexagon tile shower floor act as natural slip resistance. This makes them incredibly practical non slip shower floor tiles because you get a surface that is safe to walk on when wet. A matching hexagon tile backsplash above the sink pairs perfectly with these floors to tie the whole room together. Need ideas on how to combine them all together?
