I’ve talked a lot on this blog about the classic look of black and white. It’s one of my favorite color combinations because it always captures an elegant, stylish vibe that suits so many different types of spaces. It’s very versatile in that it can compliment practically any decorating style. It can be modern, contemporary, traditional, even rustic. One of the best places to take advantage of the power of this classic combo is in the kitchen. A great place in which to incorporate it is in the backsplash. A black and white backsplash is neutral enough to pair with just about any color or style of cabinet and can give it that extra pop of character you’ve been looking for. Here are 10 great examples of black and white backsplashes in the kitchen.
