The super white color forms a perfect complement to a variety of structural textures and materials, making it an ideal choice for contemporary or more traditional spaces. The simplest and most common design is to go with white elements and white tile backsplash, you can make no mistake there. But today I’m showing you a more complex design where the white subway tile makes space for the copper farmhouse sink to shine.

She made a perfect combination with the apron copper single bowl kitchen sink and the pull-down faucet.

When choosing the right tile backsplash for your farmhouse kitchen you have to think of a few things. Besides that it defines the style of your work area, reflecting your personality and the mood and feel of your cooking space, the primary purpose of a kitchen backsplash is to protect the wall from liquids, usually water. Slate is made of compressed layers of sediments formed under the ocean. Its composition makes it resistant to fading, water scratches, and even chemicals. Therefore slate tiles last virtually forever with a little maintenance. That being said the vibrant colors and the unique texture makes slate tile backsplash an exceptional interior decor choice. Heather from @ourminnesotafarmhouse made a perfect choice of tile backsplash that blends in flawlessly with the existing decor. She has a perfect harmony between the kitchen cabinets, the countertop, and the backsplash. It all feels natural, that is the definition of a farmhouse style. The personal touches of a table book, artificial greenery and cute wooden sign on the window make this corner look so pleasant. So mission accomplished 🙂

You can opt for a design pattern that sharply contrasts the existing decor and elements, and acts as a standout style, stealing most of the attention to itself.
