\"Textured<\/a>Texture is one of most underrated elements that can influence your kitchen design, according to Normandy Designer Ashley Noethe<\/a>. \u201cYour layout choices are the broad strokes, but these little details are important too,\u201d Ashley says. \u201cA thoughtful selection for something as simple as your backsplash can dramatically change the feel of your space.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to textured tile, there are three types of texture at play:<\/p>\n

Surface Texture
\n<\/strong>This refers to tiles that have a polished, matte or honed finish, or one that has some grit to the touch. \u201cIf you have a countertop<\/a> with strong veining or another ornate element, you want to balance that out with something less busy, but that doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t be impactful,\u201d Ashley says. \u201cLike a book or movie, not everybody is the star, you need supporting characters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Visual Texture<\/strong>
\nThis type of textured tile can be seen in speckles or even a beveled subway tile<\/a> or Zellige tile that catches your eye. \u201cTextural differences like this are important especially when you\u2019re doing monochromatic design, so your kitchen<\/a> doesn\u2019t feel sterile,\u201d Ashley says. \u201cHow a tile shimmers when it picks up light is still engaging.\u201d Then there are tile backsplashes that have both visual and surface texture, like mosaics. \u201cA mosaic can be colorful or have neutral tones \u2014 a pattern can help break up a monochrome backsplash,\u201d notes Ashley.<\/p>\n

Three-Dimensional Texture<\/strong>
\nThese types of 3-D tile designs project out from the wall, with a wavy or undulating effect. \u201cIn more modern designs, you don\u2019t want a lot of busyness but that doesn\u2019t mean it has to be plain,\u201d Ashley says. \u201cPlay with texture in an unconventional way. Repeating patterns<\/a> with three-dimensional tile is a way to create interest in monochromatic or neutral designs that won\u2019t be outdated in five years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Incorporating the right kind of texture is just one way to create a memorable and unique kitchen design.
