Skinny tiles are long and thin ones, they can be clad vertically, horizontally or even done in patterns. Choosing them you’ll get longer installation yet a very catchy and unusual look, which isn’t often seen in kitchens. Wanna some inspiration? Let me share some cool ideas.

Skinny Tile Backsplashes

Skinny tiles can be clad either horizontally or vertically, it depends on the look you prefer – more traditional with a horizontal backsplash or more modern with vertical tiles. You may choose a matching color – neutral or dark to highlight your kitchen decor or add a bright touch to the space with colorful skinny tiles of the shade that you like, it will be a bright touch in your space. Then choose grout: contrasting to highlight your backsplash or matching to make it plain. Skinny tile backsplashes will fit lots of various kitchen styles but I’d recommend modern and contemporary styles more than others.

Skinny Tiles In Patterns

Skinny tiles can be made even catchier if you clad them in some patterns – chevron or some other that you like. Choose any shades that you like and keep the grout matching to slightly add interest to your kitchen or prefer contrasting grout to highlight your backsplash and add a pattern to the kitchen. Such a backsplash will easily fit many kitchen styles, from modern farmhouse to vintage, and will accent your space.
