Best Backsplash Tile With Reviews

This tile was on sale, & is so pretty - deep black & a velvety smooth matte finish. The online pictures don't do it justice. And I was concerned shipping since some customers said it arrived damaged. I have to think this company has corrected that. The 3 tile boxes were together in one shipping box which was quite heavy. But they packed very heavy cardboard honeycombs in all the gaps so there was no shimmying. And out the the 11 sheets/box & 30 tiles/sheet only 7 individual tiles weren't perfect, & that was from drips of the mesh adhesive from production & no problems from shipping. So this purchase was a true success all around!

Love this tile in white. It gives texture without having to commit to a color I might tire of. I like neutrals when it comes to things that are really tough to change. We finished it with Wayfair's bullnose trim. Our kitchen backsplash now has a really happy, sort of whimsical look. I like it WAY better than the perfectly rectangular subway. This has depth and a fun, squishy bit of softness, a bit of perfect irregularity that hides any little hiccups by the grout application too. And all I have to do is change the paint color and I can have a whole new look in a day.

We've been wanting to remodel our kitchen since we purchased the house in 2016, along comes a pandemic and we found ourselves working from home so we started putting that plan together. Time to pick out backsplash so we brought home some tile samples from several local stores in our area, none of them did it for us, my wife had found this tile on another site but it was unavailable and no option to request a sample, I tracked it down on Wayfair and bought a sample, once she confirmed this is what she wanted I signed up for the in stock alert notification. Item became available on the day Wayfair said it would be so I immediately purchased 9 boxes. Shipping was fast and this tile is well packed. Due to another review about broken tiles we unpacked and inspected each box individually upon arrival. we had 22 broken tiles between 2 boxes. I took pictures and submitted them to Wayfair and they replaced them without question. On to the tile, this tile is absolutely beautiful, exactly what we were looking for, we are extremely happy with our choice. We discussed a rust color grout but decided to go with bright white which turned out to be the right decision for us. We also found what we believe to be matching cabinet knobs and instead of buying the tile trim pieces ($$$), my wife color matched the tile with Benjamin Moore Naples Blue, we painted the exposed ends and then caulked them, turned out great. We sit on our patio and just stare at our kitchen through the windows every evening in amazement

We decided to get these stones for our new shower floor after we stayed at a hotel with such a floor. My husband loved the way they felt on his feet. When the stones arrived I was thrilled with the size and quality of them, but the ones that we ordered were supposed to have tan stones mixed with grey and white. There didn’t seem to be any tan stones at all, just white and very pale grey. I understand that every lot varies slightly in color, but I felt that this went a little too astray. They are still beautiful so husband wanted to keep them anyway. I had to rethink the rest of the bathroom to accommodate.

I waited for these tiles to come back into stock in the gray black, and I ordered them immediately because I didn't want to lose out on the opportunity. I bought them for floor tiles in my future bathroom renovations (two full baths). Mind you, I don't have a renovation date yet but really didn't want to miss out on these. The size is unusual and perfect (not too small, not too big). They look and feel great. And they are perfect for my 1920s bungalow. The ordering was seamless, delivery was terrific -- the two delivery men were fast and efficient with the unloading -- and there were no broken or damaged tiles in any of the 17 (!) boxes. I opted for the additional $20 for indoor entrance delivery and that went off without a hitch. I think these are going to look terrific in my bathrooms. I would highly recommend these tiles if you are looking for this unusual size.

The tile itself is beautiful, and exactly what you would expect of a natural slate. Where we messed up was the grout. I wanted black grout, which we purchased separately. Our tile guy mixed it up and once it dried it was grey! It was not the look I wanted, but it turns out, black grout looks grey if you use well water (with natural minerals) to mix the grout. If you want black grout with this tile, buy PREMIXED!! Tile itself is absolutely 5 stars, but the application can ruin the look you’re going for, so get an experienced tile guy!!

I love this tile. We ordered three boxes. One came in perfect condition. The other two were shipped together without padding between the boxes in a flimsy box. All but 7 of the tiles in that box was broke. I contacted wayfair with pictures and they sent out two more boxes that were packaged correctly. Shipping took a very long time though so plan for that. The tiles don’t line up perfectly. I’m okay with it, but wanted to mention it if it would bother other someone else. These are cement tiles, so they’re thicker than normal backsplash. We used a trim piece between these and our other tile. We love it so much, we’re ordering more for another area of the house.

I love love love this tile, however make sure you buy all you need in one order. Even buy an extra case if need be. I ordered what I thought would be enough last year and I was only about 2.5 sheets shorts in total and so I ordered another box and it was different than the tile I got last year color wise, just the varying shades of gray etc. last year the shades were not as pronounced but this last box I got was. Thankfully it was being used away from the other installed tile. But I notice the difference and it drives me crazy! Most people it might not bother but I’m more of a perfectionist. So over order and make sure your getting everything you need from one lot. Other than that it is 5 stars in my book!! The first pic and last pictures are the tile I ordered last year. The one in the middle (2nd pic) is this tile that I just ordered. It’s not finished being grouted yet. The first pic is when we started to grout the original tile. The last 2 pics are after they were finished being grouted. It’s beautiful tile! I’ve gotten tons of compliments but I can clearly see the difference from last year to this year in my pics!

We had our wood burning fireplace replaced with gas insert. Did a grey wash on the red bricks to modernize the look. The fireplace had a birch log effect, so it nicely matched this tile. I searched a long time to find a smaller tile that could work around the fireplace, and these ended up being perfect. We did the tiling ourselves and combined a three color marble mini-subway trim piece for the face area, which ended up matching nicely. Plain white unsanded grouted was used with 1/16th spacer. The tiles are high quality, but with hex I needed to rent a tile saw for with a movable tray for one day. Would not recommend using an entry level tile saw with no tray with these or any hex tiles. The hex tile needs to be placed on a tray where you can use the clamps to get it secured. Then push into the blade. This job required a lot of unique angle cuts. Tried to use a tile snapper, and that worked very poorly, the wet saw with tray was the best option. I noticed this tile has a slight texture to it, it is not perfectly flat. This adds a nice effect, but at times when ripping the tile it would chip out small flakes. Used a wet sander block to clean up the edges, and it looked perfect. The pattern is very nice and your eye keeps moving around on it as there are multiple patterns going on.

I bought 2 boxes each of both HEX and LUX HEX. I chose HEX & ordered 6 more boxes since bathroom addition build is a curbless shower and same floor thruout. Of all the boxes, only one had damage and it was the only box that came taped up open box. Wayfair handled replacing that for us, so no downgrade to stars. Although they are both ADA rated, CoPilot research suggested HEX less slippery. I will use the LUX HEX for wall inlays to give contrast. HEX is not flat Mat, it has a nice satin sheen, looks like beautiful tooled leather. Each tile is the same pattern, you just match up the main swirl pattern every time. My tile contractor suggested at min add 18% to 20% more tile due to the cuts needed. This tile is beautiful take on Barcelona architect designer Gaudi's work. This floor won't be laid for a month or so, but I added pics of tile to help you decide between 2 beautiful tile finishes. This is going to be a Black Beauty floor when it's done!

I ordered this tile for half of my renovated entry and the other half is new carpet. The look is very rustic, the tile surface is raised in places and rough so it presents a safe entry from the outdoors. That's exactly what I wanted in this location. They were shipped quickly, very well padded with styrofoam pillows that surround the entire box of tiles and offer excellent protection. Not one tile was cracked or broken during shipping. I would recommend this tile for larger spaces if safety is a concern. I like the look of the tile once installed---looks like it's been there for ages, color is neutral, and would blend with just about any decor.

If you’ve ever traveled to Portugal you know their hand made tiles are just beautiful and it’s everywhere, I fell in love with the place! First I order a sample of the tile I saw in WF, it was beautiful! The sample was better than I expected, it is thick, heavy, and of great quality. I ordered 20sq ft which I had it installed as back splash in one of my houses. It turned out so beautiful that I ordered another 20 sq ft in a different color and did the kitchen back splash on my other house. I recommend to friends to buy it from WF when they ask about the tile, it’s just beautiful and it brings fantastic memories if happiness every time I see it. Friends who come over ask about it and I tell them to buy from WayFair. I Love it and I am sure you will too!

I LOVE this tile! It is going to be the flooring in our kitchen and two bathroom remodels. Tile gets installed in the kitchen in two weeks. I will post pictures of the completed remodels when they are finished. In the meantime, this is the tile with the bathroom tiles I bought from Wayfair for our 2nd bathroom. The Pharsalia 2"x2" lantern shape in the Cafe color is for the shower walls and the Arcadia 0.56" x0.56" mosaic tile in Tan/Beige will be for the shower floor and wall of the shower niche. Also, this tile will fit in the tile side tables of the Straley 3 Piece Seating Group so you can swap out the tile that comes with it for something more fun like this! UPDATE: We have this installed in our kitchen, pantry/laundry room and bathrooms. I loved it so much, I ordered it for our master bathroom remodel! It is difficult to order from Wayfair, however. Either the tiles come in broken and they have to reorder (thus delaying their arrival and delaying your project and contractors) or doesn't come in at all. It's been a journey. My last order of tile arrived at the warehouse broken so Wayfair reordered. The reorder never arrived so they offered me a full refund or the option to reorder it, yet again. Fortunately I had ordered enough overage from my two previous orders that I had enough on hand to finish out my current remodel projects. This tile is designed to look like it is old and worn. My daughters think it makes the floors look dirty. But that is the GENIUS of this tile! It hides the dirt because of that fact. But seriously, my husband and I are very pleased with this tile. I feel like I'm in an old villa on the Amalfi Coast and that makes it even more of a delight each time I see it and look at it. This tile also has a non-skid surface which is wonderful, especially when using it in a kitchen or bathroom. I chose a grout color called Pecan to match the brick-red of the stars on the tiles and I think works better overall than going with white grout. One thing I didn't realize when I ordered it is that the star tile is thicker than the existing tile installed in the house and that became an unexpected issue in transitioning to the kitchen and bathroom. Not wanting to use a metal transition, we used a strip of the small mosaic tile from the bathroom floor to transition the two floors together. This was a quick, off the cuff decision I came up with and has been one of my favorite things about how our floors turned out! UPDATE: I'm still so, so happy with this tile. It has great traction in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens. I really like the distressed appearance and often find myself bending over to clean what I think is a spill but it's the tile design! LOL You get several different "distressed" patterns per box but I've found that most if not all tilers don't have the attention to detail nor the ongoing patience to make sure they rotate the tiles when installing so the distressing is more dispersed. I had to let that go and it all works, in the end. However, it is completely hit or miss when you order from Wayfair. Either it shows up okay to be delivered to you, or it arrives to the warehouse broken and they have to re-order (and you wait weeks longer) or it just never shows up at the warehouse, period. I finally ordered any additional boxes needed for our renovations from HD because it was roughly the same price and would literally arrive to my doorstep a week after I ordered it. Same.Exact.Tile. in this color. No drama, which as a renovation drags out longer than anticipated, you start to appreciate.

I just received notification that my ceramic tiles were delivered. But, they were no where in sight. So, I walked several houses in both directions, no boxes. Finally, I rang our neighbors door bell, and sure enough! There it was! ** Our house number is big and bold, on the front of our mail box, curbside. There’s no reason for it being delivered to the wrong house. **UPS was at fault, not Wayfair. ** The tiles all arrived unbroken!!! Packaged extremely well! Thank you, Wayfair! I Love the tiles, and received a balanced variety of each.

I am absolutely in love with this tile. I originally had a plan to go with a white subway or herringbone tile with my bluegreengrey cabinets, but worried that it would be too monochrome and sterile for my personality, especially once I settled on a charcoal colored countertop. This tile has my favorite color orange featured in it, and the smaller bluegrey flowers PERFECTLY match my cabinets. I couldnt be more pleased. I havent installed it yet, but seriously cant wait to. The colors read accurately to me on screen vs. in person. The ONLY reason I am giving this 4 stars is because the printing on some of the tiles is off, rendering the image slightly blurry. Ill use those in less noticeable spots or as cut tiles if I end up needing them. Otherwise, what a beauty. It was exactly what I was hoping for. Edit My kitchen is done and I absolutely love this tile still. I used Home Depots delorean gray grout and it looks incredible. I am still disappointed in the sheer number of misprintedblurry tiles but fortunately without having to deal with exchanges I was able to use them as cuts and in less visible spots. Inspect the tile closely before using.

I love these tiles! We recently renovated our beach/cottage and used these in the butlers pantry as well as behind the sink. For the rest of the backsplash we put up white subway tile and the result is outrageous. Love it. I was worried that the tiles would look like big tiles but the grout lines are recessed and you can grout the fake recesses in any colour (i did white). The result is exactly what i wanted and they look amazing. The colour is a bit more indigo than the pictures but that suited us better anyway. The only negative comment i have is that a few of the tiles were broke in the shipping process. I think that is to be expected but could be an issue if you don't buy any overage.

Tile is well proportioned. The printing on it is sharp. Color is like an intense charcoal or matte black. White background is not glossy, but a matte, cool white. Goes really well with any shade cabinets, and especially well with any ‘cool’ color ( off white, light gray, dark colors). I am using it on a design job, for a historical - inspired kitchen remodel. I wanted something that leveraged early 20s design patterns ( read, large scale, dramatic black and white geometric flooring), with a modern, playful twist. This tile did the trick! Paired with shaker style cabinets, and quartz counters, this is the star of the show, in an otherwise tone-on-tone kitchen. Tile is the right size for large walls or flooring, though it works great on even smaller footprint flooring. ( See my pict). I would NOT recommend it as backsplash, if all you tile is under counters, between uppers and lowers. This tile needs ‘visual space’ to work ( ie, open walls, tall walls, open shelving.) From a design perspective, if you want the pattern to flow, you need a 18 inch spacer, NOT the thicker spacer that the ‘tile experts’ here recommend. The tile design lines are exactly 18 inch. Many kudos to the Wayfair fulfillment and delivery teams, who did an amazing job, end to end. From order emails, to the ‘what to expect’ video, and to the great follow up from my very professional delivery team, I could not be happier. Will update with more picts, once installed.

I purchased the white tiles for my kitchen and they are beautiful. Exactly as I anticipated. I used a staggered pattern rather than stacking. The slightly darker shaded tiles add iintrigue. I used pure white grout to blend in with tile rather than frame each one with darker shades. The results were stunning! Gorgeous shine and shimmer with the play of light and the slight irregularity adds eye catching texture giving the tiles an expensive morrocan clay look. My only problem is that many of the tiles were broken in one box which left me short so I had to purchase another box. I didnt get to contact Wayfair for replacement in time and now the return and exchange windows have closed for my intial purchase. It was my hope to at least obtain a discount on the extra box of tiles. Many reviews claim that Wayfair is helpful should you have broken pieces but I missed my opportunity in my hast to get the tile work done. Aside from this mishap, I would highly recommend these tiles.
