Shop White Backsplash Tile by Style

White Subway Tile

White subway tile is the most popular backsplash choice for kitchens of every style, from classic 3 x 6 to elongated 4 x 12 formats. It works equally well in a simple stacked bond or a more decorative herringbone layout.

White Hexagon Tile

White hexagon tile introduces geometric pattern while keeping the overall look light and bright, and is a strong option for kitchens that want texture without adding color.

White Mosaic Tile

Small format white mosaic adds texture and visual interest while keeping the color palette completely neutral, and works well as a range hood focal point or full wall backsplash.

Textured and Beveled White Tile

Beveled or textured white tile adds depth and shadow to a backsplash while keeping a crisp, clean finish.

Choosing White Backsplash Tile

Glossy brightens, matte softens. Glossy white tile reflects light and works well in kitchens with limited natural light. Matte white tile gives a more contemporary, softer look and shows water spots less around the sink.

Grout color matters more than the tile color here. White grout keeps the backsplash feeling seamless. Gray or charcoal grout adds definition to a white subway layout and is easier to keep looking clean near a stove or sink.

Glass tile requires a light colored adhesive. If you choose white glass tile, use a white or light colored thinset, since dark adhesive can show through the tile and affect the finished color.

White Backsplash Tile Installation Tips

Measure carefully. Calculate your backsplash area in square feet and add 10 to 15 percent for cuts and waste.

Start from center. Find the center point of your backsplash and work outward so cuts are balanced on both sides.

Let the adhesive cure before grouting. Rushing this step is one of the most common causes of grout cracking.
