Noticed recently: backsplashes comprised of just a handful of tiles. @media(min-width:0px){#div-gpt-ad-remodelista_com-medrectangle-3-0-asloaded{max-width:320px!important;max-height:50px!important;}}Without further ado, some inspiration for the kitchen and bath:
A single row of tiles in Sophie Caulfeild’s kitchen expands into a four-by-six grid behind the sink and then back again. (See more in Kitchen of the Week: A Waste-Conscious Remodel for a Ceramic Tile Designer.)
Even the skinniest of backsplashes is intriguing.
In A Former Burberry Designer’s Playful Family Bath, “the hand-painted backsplash tiles are by artist Hal Haines, who sells them on Glassette for £30 each as Tile Trivets (unfortunately, they’re currently sold out),” Margot reports.
Ten green tiles create a minimal backsplash behind the sink in A Vintage-Inspired Apartment in Hackney from Abel Sloane and Ruby Woodhouse of 1934.

In LA Autumnal: A 1920s House Makeover Composed in Jewel Tones, Reath Design opted for a mishmash of Moroccan Terracotta Tiles from Clé. For the most penny-pinching among us, a tiny backsplash means you can shop tile makers and retailers for extras and seconds, matching or not.
And in the kitchen of that same Reath Design project: a backsplash with a slim profile, just two tiles tall.
