Diamond-Pattern Kitchen Backsplash in Aurora
About This Project
This kitchen backsplash in an Aurora home used a white geometric tile in a diamond/cube pattern, which creates a three-dimensional optical effect when set correctly. The layout requires finding the visual center of the wall and working outward so the pattern reads symmetrically from both sides. On this job, the main challenge was the open wood shelving unit that interrupted the backsplash midway, which required precise cuts on all four sides of the shelf bracket mounting points.
The tile runs behind the gas cooktop and up to the underside of the upper cabinets. A ledger board was used to hold the first course level while the adhesive cured, since the countertop surface was not perfectly level. The grout is a dark charcoal that emphasizes the geometric pattern rather than blending into the tile. The home is in Aurora's West Side, in a mid-century kitchen that had been updated with new cabinets but still had the original drywall backsplash.
