Brick look backsplash

3 years ago

I really want a brick look backsplash in the kitchen. The only things I can find with the look I like are wallpaper that's very gauche and fake looking up close. Any ideas where I can get this look for a reasonable price? (And no wallpaper unless it's raised/textured and actually realistic.) The backsplash would be in the normal area between countertop and cupboards, but also the entire wall behind the stove.

Be brave, and go dark! Often people are scared to as they think it makes a room smaller but actually it can have the opposite effect. Blurring the finishing lines of the room can give the illusion of more space, and if the space isn't particularly bright anyway, embrace it! Feature lighting - LED strips under the vanity, or wall lights - can really come into their own in moodier spaces too - don't underestimate the power of lighting :) For the backsplash, bring in a mosaic, or perhaps to continue the natural look, check out a few textured tiles like below - they have less grout to maintain but still offer a nice contrast: If you need a hand or any assistance with supply of products, advice, or design, check us out if you're local to Surrey or South West London :) - Adam

We didn’t have one put behind our sink but we have a boiling water tap and it splutters all the time and I’m forever cleaning the wall. The paint is supposed to be for kitchens but it can only endure so many washes! We will eventually put one on - perhaps a 12” glass one so the dark paint on the walls will show through. You could consider tiling a couple of rows or get solid colours ie pure white if your sink wall is only ever going to be white.

Hi, its a really nice space I know you mentioned you like the country style, you could incoporporate some wooden paneling similar to the image below for your wall and backsplash as it give a rustic vibe. Alternativly sage green tiles would lokk really nice and still keep the space feeling bright. I think a sage green would work really well with your white units and soften the black cooker (Ive added an image below). It would also work with either the grey floor you currently have or the beige travestine tiles if you did decide to continue them from your hallway. You could then add some sage accents like a clock, lights etc to bring the scheme together (taking inspiration from the below image.) And adding a plant maybe a Fern in a rustic pot will bring the country vibe into your space. Im not sure what your current units are made from but you could look into pianting some of the units to bring the colour scheme together. Hope this helps Louise

I think your instincts are good here - a light worktop would really lift the space. Maybe a lightly speckled white? Marble you will need to be careful that the vein matches in colours to those tiles or it will feel a little off. And a warmer colour on the walls (it doesn't have to be strong but it will bring the room together as one) will help. Your floor looks to have some yellow tones in it so you will need to look at greys with a yellow tone (Like FB Cornforth White) or soft greens work well with greys and white and make it feel cosier. Definitely cost up the difference in replacing the worktops versus changing the tiles too as it may be cheaper. In terms of lights and bar stools what look are you aiming for? Is it modern minimal and to feel sleek and streamlined or do you want something a little softer with a more natural feel or something completely different? Dependent on that it will help focus what to go for in terms of bar stools and lighting as the options are endless as I'm sure you know! From glass to rattan shades and everything in between! Happy to help further if you need it too!

Most tile stores should have a thin brick for backsplashes. Try Home Depot or a local tile shop. You can also google "brick tile backsplashes" to see who has it near you.

Okay, I'll keep trying. Most of what I come up with is wallpaper or looks too much like tile rather than brick or too much like exterior brick.

Everyone tells me to put subway tile, but I'm tired of that look. Is brick a bad choice/too dirty looking for a food prep ?

Think about cleaning a rough surface like brick when the grease and sauce spatters.
Quentin Parker

Yeah, I'd prefer something that's not rough like actual brick, but still looks realistic and doesn't look too much like tile. The wallpaper would be cheaper and relatively easy to clean, but the fakeness is pretty bad. I also don't like the dark or red brick that looks like exterior brick. Perhaps it's too much to ask.

I'd find another area where you can use the brick you like, and put a simple, light colored tile in that area instead. The brick will look heavy with the texture, and magnify the already lopsided spaces. You might consider using a shorter backsplash in a straight line under the cabinets, and a mirror cut to fit the space over the stove. It would be easy to clean, and act like a window so you get some symmetry to the space.

This might be a thin brick like Z Brick with a whitewash or mortar smear over the brick.

@calidesign I was going to do two open shelves over the stove (old wood with black brackets) once the cabinet doors are back on the upper cabinets. I could just do backsplash between the cabinets and countertop and leave the wall over the stove. It's just ot in great shape, so I thought I'd cover it.

Look at Brickwebb thin brick sheets. We used it on our basement walls, including as the backsplash in our kitchette area. You might like the "Promontory" color based on your inspiration picture.
