A backsplash can tie together your cabinets and countertop or create a bold moment in ... linear mosaic backsplash tiles, usually done in a few different shades of gray or blue-gray (see above).

If this quirky backsplash idea is a bit too bold for you though, there are more toned down versions out there, like this self-adhesive gloss peacock feather gel tile ($39.99 on Amazon).

There are countless colors, styles and materials to choose from. It comes down to the statement you’d like to make.
