Even better, choose a matching marble countertop to pull the space together. In order to make the marble backsplash a visual focus in the design, upper cabinets were substituted for thick wood floating shelves.

4. Stacked Stone Backsplash

For a more natural look, some homeowners opt to pair their white kitchen cabinets with a stacked stone backsplash. This kitchen features traditional white shaker cabinets with a beige and brown stone splash. Under cabinet lighting beautifully highlights the color and texture of the stone. If you want to add an earthy vibe to your white kitchen design, stone is the perfect option for you!

5. Pale Blue Herringbone

Herringbone tile backsplash has been increasing in popularity for its attractive, timeless pattern. Unlike other trendy backsplash patterns, you can count on herringbone pattern staying in style for a lifetime. This pale blue herringbone backsplash brings a peaceful, calming feel to a duo-toned kitchen. Even with warm brown base cabinets, the cool blue backsplash looks seamless in this design.

6. Classic White Subway Tile

As trends come and go, one thing’s for sure: you can never go wrong with a white subway tile backsplash. Subway tile has endured changes in design trends for decades and isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It is now more popular in farmhouse kitchens, such as this design. Here, glossy white subway tile blends flawlessly with the white shaker cabinets.

7. Charcoal Grey Stacked Stone

For more modern kitchen designs, choosing two contrasting tones can create a striking color scheme. This kitchen features bright white cabinets with a dramatic charcoal grey stacked stone backsplash. By bringing the backsplash from the countertops to the ceiling, the designer created a sizable accent wall that appears as if it was carved right out of the earth. Upper cabinets were substituted for minimalist floating shelves to ensure all attention is focused on the backsplash.

8. White Square Tile Backsplash

In contrast to traditional rectangular subway tile, a square tile backsplash brings to mind a more antique décor style. This backsplash pairs perfectly with vintage shaker cabinets and an oriental runner rug. Square tile backsplashes are nostalgic as well as affordable. Plus they complement any color of cabinets, not just white, so if you decide to swap your cabinets you can keep your backsplash as is.

9. Rustic Brick Backsplash

This white washed brick backsplash brings a lovely European feel to an otherwise traditional white kitchen. The warm tones in the wood floor and butcher block island offset the bright white shaker cabinets nicely. If you’re interested in a brick backsplash, you can either choose real brick or a faux peel and stick wallpaper. Either way, brick has an old-world European feel that can add significant character to any white kitchen.
