All tile can be beautiful—but not all tile is right for every backsplash. Choose with care!
At Carpet King Carpet One Floor & Home in Marion, IA, we carry a wide variety of backsplash tile options, and we know that not all tiles are created equal. From ceramic and porcelain to stone, glass, and mosaic, each material offers unique qualities that impact durability, maintenance, and appearance. Ceramic wall tile, for instance, is typically lighter and thinner than floor tile but is still incredibly tough and moisture-resistant—perfect for most kitchen or bathroom backsplash areas.
It’s important to think beyond just looks. The function of your space should guide your tile choice. A kitchen backsplash must hold up against grease, heat, and daily cooking messes. A bathroom backsplash, on the other hand, needs to withstand constant moisture and humidity. That’s why choosing the right type of tile for the right space is key to long-term satisfaction.
Not sure where to begin? Our friendly tile experts are always here to help you navigate the options and make confident choices.
Ready to start designing your dream backsplash? Here are a few things to think about when selecting your tile:
What color are your existing floors?
Do you want to match or contrast your countertops?
How do your cabinets fit into the overall palette?
Are you aiming for a bright, bold statement or something more subtle and soothing?
Would a patterned tile bring your space to life—or would a solid neutral keep things timeless?
At Carpet King Carpet One, our design team will work with you to explore color palettes, finishes, and tile shapes to ensure your new backsplash complements your space perfectly. Whether you’re leaning toward a modern look or farmhouse charm, we’ll help you find the perfect balance between form and function.
The best part about tile? The endless customization options.
Our custom tile services allow you to create a backsplash (or shower or floor!) that truly reflects your personal style. Love clean lines and soft blues? Go for a minimalist vibe. Prefer something with texture and movement? Try a trendy herringbone or chevron layout. Want something warm and inviting? A rustic, farmhouse-style pattern may be the right fit.
Whatever your vision, we’ll help you bring it to life. Our in-house design professionals and experienced tile installers will handle every detail—from concept to completion. With precise grout work, careful spacing, and expert installation, your backsplash will be a true focal point in your kitchen or bathroom.
