When you see the word &#;tile,&#; you might think that it only means porcelain or ceramic tile, but with backsplashes, there are way more options than that. You have a lot of materials to choose from that can affect the look and feel of your space. Some are more time-honored and practical, while others are modern and trendy.

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are pretty similar, the main difference being that porcelain is a special type of ceramic. Both options are made from a majority clay, mineral, and water solution that is then pressed into a tile shape and fired in a kiln at a high temperature.The difference is that porcelain will be made from a denser kind of clay, which makes it less porous and more durable. The tiles are then glazed and fired again to remove any remaining moisture. This process makes the tiles incredibly durable, scratch-resistant, and waterproof.These days, you can find ceramic and porcelain mosaic tiles in endless shapes, colors, and sizes. They can look like anything, and that means they can always keep up with the latest styles.
Natural stone is highly sought-after for its beautiful naturally occurring patterns.Some of the more popular stone tile options right now include travertine, limestone, and marble. They come at a higher price-point than stone-look tiles that only copy the real thing, but it can be worth it to have genuine material.Keep in mind that real stone tile requires some special maintenance to make sure it stays its beautiful self. Because stone is porous, it can absorb moisture. It requires certain kinds of sealants and cleaning products to prevent unsightly discoloration.
The thin pieces of glass are typically fixed to mesh backing sheets to create patterned mosaics.Glass tiles come with a lot of style options in terms of color, finish, texture, and transparency. Whether you want something translucent or opaque, glossy or frosted, smooth or textured, there&#;s an option for you.In the past, a glass mosaic could cost quite a lot, and it was seen as a luxury. These days, with easy to install, pre-assembled sheets, glass backsplash tile is accessible to everyone. If you want a modern kitchen, installing a glass mosaic is one of the easiest ways to get that look.
Metal tiles aren&#;t generally made of solid metal, but instead feature a resin core with a real metal surface. This makes the tile lighter and cheaper, so it&#;s a win-win! That metal covering can be made from copper, tin, aluminum, and even stainless steel.Metallic tile pairs perfectly with geometric patterns, industrial and warehouse styles, and even more glitzy, glamorous aesthetics.Because metal is so tough, you can expect the tiles to be durable as well as stylish, and they&#;re pretty easy to take care of.

Can you believe this is paint? I came across this idea through my friend Courtney. She lives in PA and we often text each other to throw around decorating ideas. She knew how badly I wanted to change out my tile, but didn't want to remove it. So she sent me this idea. Basically what you do, is order a stencil online to the size of one of your tiles and apply that stencil with paint to each tile.
What I love about it: It plays on the trend of fun mosaic tiles that are now seen in bathrooms, kitchens, and mudrooms, all while staying budget-friendly, since the only costs are stencils and paint.
Why I didn't try it: As I mentioned above- I hate painting and as I read in the blogs mentioned in the photos above- it was very tedious and time consuming. I was also left with many questions like: Will it last over time and not chip after all the time I spent completing the project? Did continued use of the stencil cause it to get messy? Lastly, if I messed it up I felt that I'd be left with no option but to remove the tile after all. These ladies did amazing jobs- but since I'm not the best painter, I searched for another option.
