Unique Kitchen Wall Tile Designs You'll Love
It’s a problem that many renovators and homeowners sit with – you want to renovate your kitchen but are not sure what type of wall tile to choose that will help you create a subtle, stylish kitchen that will appeal to a range of tastes.
There are so many different kitchen wall tile designs on the market, that it can be hard to know which one is right for you. Thankfully, at CTM, we've rounded up some of the best kitchen wall tile designs for you to consider. From playing with shapes and texture to being bold with colour and contrast, here is a guide on the latest kitchen wall tile designs for 2022 that will fit your budget and style.
What are the latest kitchen wall tile design ideas?
At the beginning of 2022, we saw a few key trends emerging in the kitchen design space that we are very excited about. These ideas and trends are creating bold kitchens that are subtle and stylish at the same time. Here are our favourites;
Hexagons are Huge
Hexagon tiles are huge in 2022. They look stunning as a backsplash behind a stove in plain white or in a bold colour. They also contrast beautifully against a painted wall too. This trend tells us not to be afraid to play with shapes when it comes to simple kitchen wall tile designs.
Textured Tiles Are In
You don’t have to only go with a smooth, sleek tile anymore – unless you want to, of course. Textured or bevelled tiles are very in at the moment, like bevelled subway tiles as splashbacks, because they bring an element of interest to the kitchen space. They work well as backsplashes or on feature walls too.

Big Contrasts for Big Impact
The trends in the latest kitchen wall tile designs are showing the use of contrasting colours on flooring and walls. We’re talking black marble look floor tiles with red subway tiles on the walls, or grey cement look floor tiles with bright, white tiles. This might be a bit too bold for some, but be aware that it is possible to play with contrasts and still create a beautiful space.
Raw Brick Can Bring Warmth
Choosing to leave one feature wall in the kitchen as a raw, brick wall is also a big trend this year. Especially in homes that have a more country, earthy feel, a raw wall can bring a lot of warmth and depth into a kitchen space.
Light Against Dark
The major trend that we love is the use of dark cabinetry with light counters and light wall tiles. Dark blue, black and dark grey cabinets can pair beautifully with a light countertop or even a wood countertop against a wall of white hexagon tiles or subway tiles.
The trendiest colours for 2022
Teal and bottle green are the two biggest colour trends of 2022. These colours work really well when brought in as feature kitchen wall tiles or as splashbacks. The colours can be mixed easily with a variety of neutral tones, earthy tones as well as light, white tones too.
