The backsplash is one of the most unconsidered parts of a kitchen.
People spend lots of time picking out appliances, cabinets, furniture, and even paint colors, but often fail to consider their backsplash.
In reality, a carefully-designed backsplash can do a lot for your kitchen.
So, if you’re doing a remodel, you may want to think about adding a mirrored backsplash (from a single piece of mirror to mirror tiles). It can completely transform one of the most important rooms in your home.

The mirrored backsplash is a staple in interior design. It not only makes the wall behind your counter easier to clean, but it can make your room look bigger, too.
With so many styles and tile patterns to choose from, though, how do you pick the one that’s right for you?
Well, we’ve collected some of our favorites from around the internet to give you some inspiration.
Traditional Backsplash
Bob Vila Traditional Mirrored Backsplash
This may be one of the most traditional mirrored backsplashes you’ll find, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful.
Stretching wall-to-wall across the kitchen, this backsplash opens up the small space by reflecting the rest of the room around it. And, there’s still plenty of room for the cabinets up above, too.

Not all mirrored backsplashes are reflective.
This window backsplash, while not a traditional mirror, serves all the functions of a mirrored kitchen wall. It’s both easy to clean and opens up the room.
But, it also provides the homeowner with a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape. What a great idea!
Gold-Tinted Backsplash

Another slightly traditional backsplash, this designer added a personal touch by using gold-tinted mirror panels. It’s a great addition that goes perfectly with the brown marble counter.
Furthermore, this backsplash perfectly compliments the blue and gold cabinets that surround it. Paired with the x-shaped wine rack up above, the whole ensemble has quite a regal look to it.

Your backsplash doesn’t have to be a single panel or some gridded tiles. Plenty of designers do all kinds of experimental things with this part of the kitchen.
These tiles from tilebar, for example, put an exciting twist on a traditional idea. They’re framed with a three-dimensional, beveled edge that makes them really pop off the wall!
5 Mirrored Backsplash Ideas
Want to decorate your kitchen with a mirrored backsplash? You’ll probably want some ideas.
From colored mirrored tiles to metallics and antique mirrors, there’s no end to what you can do!
So, before you start picking out tiles and building your dream kitchen, take a look at these mirrored backsplash ideas. Hopefully, these will give you the inspiration you’re looking for!
Try Colored Mirror Backsplash
Your backsplash doesn’t have to be made from a plain old mirror. Sometimes, the best backsplashes are colored!
You can add some light to your kitchen by incorporating a yellow, pink, or sky blue backsplash to the counter. And, you can coordinate it with the floor tiles, cabinets, and wall paint to create a unified, cohesive look.
You’ll love cooking breakfast in your kitchen when it has a bright and shiny backsplash in it!
Go with a Mosaic Tile Design
We see a lot of mosaic tile backsplashes. However, you don’t have to make yours from traditional, opaque towels.
Small mirrored tiles can also be used for mosaic backsplashes. This creates a cool, industrial look on your kitchen counter.
Mirrored mosaics look great in the bathroom, too. They’re particularly stylish when paired with marble or stone.
Experiment with Tile Patterns
Opt for Antique Mirrored Tiles
Opt for Antique Mirrored Tiles 
Sometimes, antique tiles look much better than new ones. This type of tile is tinted with a cloudy filter that gives them a rustic, vintage look.
Antique tiles come in all shapes and sizes and can be cut according to your needs. As you can see here, we’ve used square tiles to create a mirror with a cool, industrial look. This type of design looks great as a backsplash!
Go for the Subway Look
For years, subway tiles have been used to create a raw, rugged look in the home. Typically, this style utilizes non-reflective tiles.
But, but using brick-shaped mirrored tiles, you can create a subway tile backsplash that’s also reflective. This technique combines the sleekness of a mirrored backsplash with the industrial look of a regular subway tiled design.
