Start by considering the color palette of your countertops. Pay attention to both dominant colors and undertones. You can choose a backsplash tile that matches your countertops for a seamless look or opt for complementary or contrasting colors to add visual interest.

If your countertops have a busy or bold pattern, consider balancing them with a simpler backsplash tile. Conversely, if your countertops are more plain or subtle, a textured or patterned backsplash can add visual interest. Strike the right balance between patterns and textures to ensure the space feels cohesive.

Coordinate the materials of your countertops and backsplash to create a harmonious design. For a classic, elegant look, pair marble countertops with a marble subway tile backsplash. If you prefer a more contemporary style, mix materials like glass or metal for a unique, modern aesthetic.

Pay attention to the undertones of both your countertops and backsplash tile. If your countertops have warm undertones, choose a backsplash with similar warmth for a cohesive look. Alternatively, create a striking contrast by pairing warm countertops with cool-toned backsplash tiles, or vice versa.

Bring home samples of your countertop material and various backsplash tiles to see how they look together in your space. Natural and artificial lighting in your kitchen or bathroom can significantly impact how colors and textures appear. Viewing the samples in your own environment helps you accurately assess how well they complement each other.
