The area behind the stove provides a great opportunity to add a creative touch to your kitchen. Instead of continuing the same backsplash as the rest of the kitchen, consider opting for something with more character. This accent can be as simple or as lavish as you’d like. Even the smallest difference can have an impact on your kitchen’s overall style.

There are so many things you can do with this blank space. You can do a minor accent, like switching the direction of the tile or framing it out, or go with something entirely new to the space, like a new texture or pattern. Take a look at these 10 spaces to get some fun ideas for your range backsplash.

The subway tile was simply switched to a herringbone pattern within a framed section to give the space behind the range some character.

A ceramic tile inset looks sophisticated in this grey and white kitchen. The diamond pattern is a nice touch.

Marble really highlights the space behind the range and gives it an upscale look that is more affordable than covering the whole kitchen in it.

Turquoise glass tile looks chic and coastal as the range backsplash in this fresh kitchen.

Chalkboard paint is a fun and creative way to adorn your backsplash and is perfect for taking notes or doodling.

Six-inch tin ceiling panels are an affordable option for a backsplash that looks very chic and eye-catching.

A stainless-steel backsplash stamped in a diamond patter gives this kitchen high style.

An inlay in a warm color brings some depth to this kitchen and accents the range hood.

Pretty tiles add a lot of character to this country farmhouse kitchen and also bring in some color.

An 18th-century French iron fireback medallion looks impressive above the stove and serves as a great conversation piece.

Don’t miss out on the design opportunity waiting for you right above your stove.

Warm regards,
