Brick Backsplash with Wood Island and White Cabinets
This country kitchen abounds in natural textures but harmonizes them beautifully with a white-dominant color palette. From the white cabinets to the pure white countertops, ceiling beams, and white floors, almost every element works harmoniously to make the black-gray brick backsplash and wood island sit in an open conversation. Both shades balance each other out, while the black industrial-style pendants and curvy stools anchor the island to the kitchen. In addition to them, wicker baskets and other accessories kept on the top of a cabinet and the hood, respectively, further stylize the kitchen.
What backsplash goes with the farmhouse?
Farmhouse backsplashes are designed to be distinctive and full of life and texture. Thus, from (whitewashed) brick and stone backsplashes to wood panel splash-backs, natural stones, and terracotta tiles, a farmhouse backsplash can be made of different materials. Let’s also not forget the metal finish ones. The copper, brass, and oxidized zinc backsplashes can elevate the overall aesthetic of the farmhouse kitchens easily. But for modern farmhouse settings, a brushed stainless-steel backsplash would provide a better option.
Since these metal splash-backs are also pore-free, durable, and low-maintenance, they also make very practical alternatives. Yet the best part is that some of these metal backsplashes age over time and turn into yellowish-green and brown colors only to make the backdrop age and expose its users to a sense of nostalgia. But in case you want to preserve their clean look, you can just keep sealing the backsplashes regularly. This way, you can prevent them from changing colors.
In addition to those, antique mirror backsplashes make a fabulous contribution to the farmhouse kitchens. If you want your farmhouse kitchen to build on old-world charms, you can consider antique mirror options that also enlarge the kitchen.
As for the modern farmhouse kitchens, glass sheets, marble and quartz slabs, a ceramic subway tile backsplash, and geometric tile backsplashes ( herringbone and chevron) offer fresh, modernized, and classic finishes rather than making the kitchen feel rustic.

Green Subway Tile Backsplash and Cream Cabinets with Black Hardware
This heartwarming country kitchen goes with cream shaker cabinets that channel warmth along with the medium wood floor finish.

The green ceramic tile backsplash peeks out playfully, showing its satin finish surface that creates a shimmering effect. The window shades help the kitchen feel homier, and the industrial-inspired stools make the kitchen feel nostalgic. Black hardware punctures the design.
Should the backsplash be lighter or darker than the cabinets?
Generally, the backsplash is kept lighter than the cabinets to create a more efficient and safe working space, while darker cabinets function as anchors. But it could be just the opposite. Some kitchens, for example, go with white cabinets and black backsplash, and black countertops to create a striking contrast. This combination especially pays well when you aim to add depth and dimension to the background. But when you go with darker backsplashes, ensure that the worktops are well-lit, either by placing them near the window or under a skylight or getting under-cabinet lighting fixtures such as spotlights and LED strip lighting.

Brick and Subway Tile Backsplash for White Farmhouse Kitchen with Green Island
Conceived as a farmhouse design, this kitchen has all the ingredients to nail a country look: textures, contrasting shades, natural colors, and even more. To harmonize them all together, first, the designers go with an exposed brick feature wall blending harmoniously with the reclaimed wood log that creates a perfect cooking zone reminiscent of fireplaces. In the rest of the kitchen, the white subway tiles traverse the walls, accompanied by white cabinets. The black countertops offer a striking contrast, while the green island placed at the center adds a pop of color to enliven the interiors.
What kind of backsplash goes with white cabinets?
White cabinets are best at creating blank canvas-like environments. As such, they can be paired with a wide range of backsplash designs, be they white, multi-colored, or black. But first, it is important to decide what kind of impact to go for. For example, for a shimmering effect, glass tiles are great, especially the small versions. Gloss and satin finish on the ceramic tiles can also create a similar glittering effect to create a soft contrast with matte white cabinets. And for something luxurious and sophisticated, marble slab backsplashes are the best, offering a classic and timeless finish.
Rustic kitchens generally prefer wood panels, stone, and brick splash-backs. Brick and stone can also be whitewashed to create a clean look and blend harmoniously with white cabinets. In addition to those, feel free to go with multi-colored tiles, Mediterranean tiles, geometric, and metal tile/sheet backsplashes if you are in an adventurous mood and want something that wakes up the white cabinets.

And overhead, the trusses make a strong statement, enveloping the kitchen with a sense of warmth, while the full-height windows and glazed doors let plenty of natural light in.
What colors compliment a white kitchen?
Though white kitchens are classical, offering a soft and clean look, sometimes it feels necessary to add depth to them with darker shades. And to achieve that, dark blue, gray, and green backsplashes or islands can be incorporated into the kitchen. For example, a gloss finish on a dark kitchen backsplash not only adds depth but also allows light to travel around the room playfully. In addition to the dark colors, warm shades such as wood, yellow, and cream also help the kitchen feel more approachable and healthier. Likewise, terracotta tiles in their original colors or black-painted versions contribute to the overall aesthetic design of a white kitchen. They bring texture, color, and character all at once.
Now let’s consider where else you can color to alter your white kitchen. Well, the floor and ceiling can be used to introduce color. Dark gray floors, speckled-finish concrete floor, and hexagon terracotta tiles further stylize a white kitchen. Luxury lovers may want to consider gold-coated ceilings, while those who prefer old-world charms go with tin ceiling cladding to pay homage to the old days.
And if you want something homier, feel free to use wallpaper designs dotted with floral patterns in beige and green shades and install gold hardware on the cabinets. Instead of wallpapers, you can also use colored shiplap boards to define the top half of the kitchen walls.
