3. Earthy Kitchen
Next on our terracotta tile journey is a more traditional look. Subway tile is a great choice for those who want a classic look to their space. This tile shape is so versatile, making it easy to add unique modern twists. Although this kitchen backsplash is still classy, the stacked placement of the tile brings in a modern feel which pairs well with the floating shelves. The terracotta color adds an earthy feel which is brought out by the vase of flowers. Warm toned tiles are ideal for adding plants and greenery!
