Buying Guide

Hexagonal tile backsplashes are quite the rage these days. They are the easiest way to rejuvenate an insipid-looking kitchen, on a budget. But between pre-made mosaic sheets and DIY options in hundreds of materials, you will be left dizzied at the choices. How do you select the right one for your kitchen?

Here’s a small buying guide that will help you narrow down on the right one.

What color backsplash should I choose?

Light or dark, colored or neutral, how do you visualize your kitchen?

Dark backsplash tiles are perfect to add some drama and character. Plus, they are available in almost every color in the palette. So, you have no dearth of choices. If you have dark cabinetry and countertops and a light flooring, then it will blend in easily. However, it might be too somber a setting for some, especially if there is no direct sunlight pouring in.
Light hexagonal tile backsplashes, on the other hand, will make the room appear brighter and cleaner. But there’s always the risk of the room appearing washed out, especially if you have lighter flooring and countertops too. One way to prevent this from happening is to mix and match colors. It might involve greasing your elbows, but the end result will be totally worth it.

How to coordinate a hexagon tile backsplash with kitchen decor?

The rule of thumb is to create a hexagonal tile backsplash that represents some element of the countertop or the flooring. The one that you pair it with is up to you really, as nothing is written in stone.

You can choose a backsplash that’s a seamless extension of the countertop. Or you can match some colors of the countertop to make a backsplash that complements it.

Contrasting it entirely is a great way to make a bold statement as well. Depending on whether you have neutral countertops or bright colored ones, choose a backsplash color that’s the exact opposite.

What are the most popular tile backsplash materials?

Backsplash tiles are available in hundreds of materials.

The most popular ones are ceramic and porcelain. They have excellent resistance to grime, grease and water and are available in hundreds of colors, finishes and edge treatments. The best part is that there’s a wide range of price points to choose from.
Glass and metal are equally popular but pricier than the other two. Also, they tend to scratch easily and you have no option to sand it either.
Travertine tiles mimic the look of natural stone but need to be resealed frequently. Also, they are quite expensive.

Eventually, it’s based on personal preference and the look that you wish to achieve in the kitchen.

What budget do I need for a hexagon tile backsplash?

Last but not least, always budget beforehand for the project, right from procuring materials, shipping to the final installation. If tiling is the DIY project that gives you jitters, then you might want to factor in the cost of getting the tiles professionally installed.

Speak to a contractor and seek quotes. The cost might escalate if it involves customizing multiple tiles and materials. Ask about the type of grout they’d use and about quality control measures during installation. There’s nothing more disappointing than discovering that the tiles were improperly laid and you’d have to rip them out and redo them all over again.
