3. Colorful Ombre Backsplash

Ombres don't have to be in the same hue. In fact, we recommend getting creative when it comes to this exciting tile design. Instead of the ever-so-trendy black to grey to white ombre, let your personality shine with an ombre of different glaze colors from our color palette. This Construction2Style basement bar tile backsplash is a mosaic masterpiece that's sure to catch the eye of all your guests.
