Focused on the details. There is something about this pattern and color combination that reminds me of a kaleidoscope with all the repetitive patterns and shapes — perfect for someone who likes the smallest of details. The wall-mounted swing-arm lights are an interesting and unique touch to this Old World-style kitchen.
Backsplashes. While this requires a long-term relationship, adding pattern through beautiful tiles in a kitchen can become the star of a truly unique space.
New rustic. This backsplash tile marries a rustic pattern with modern colors. Along with stainless steel appliances, wood ceiling beams and soft colors on the cabinets and walls, the look is both new and rustic.
Large-pattern tile. Big, bold patterns are in vogue right now — try placing one on your kitchen walls. Many companies produce overscale patterns that can be customized to repeat, much like wallpaper. With a large-patterned tile, it's very important to lay out your wall space thoughtfully, so that your design ends up looking even throughout the installation.

Although green would be my preference over blue here, I like how the tile has pattern and color and picks up the color of the island. It would have to be the right shade to work though.
Now that I am leaning more toward white cabinets, I think this is the type of backsplash we need. Look at the center islad, that is where the color/accent is.
