This is a stunning hexagon shaped backsplash with gold looking trim. It really does look like metal and marble, the way it reflects light.

Some people report it being hard to cut, but other reviewers say it cuts with kitchen scissors, and the whole trick is to measure correctly.

Sometimes you want colors and patterns, and that's when Talavera tiles are your best friends. These backsplash tiles are so much easier to apply than real tiles.

They have some dimension and reflect light like real tiles, so they look like the real deal. They also come in several different colors and patterns - something to go with every kitchen.

Subway tiles are a classic look, with the rectangle tiles and grout between them. This peel and stick version comes in white tile with black grout, black tile with white grout, white tile with white grout, and lots of other color options with white grout.

Because they have a thicker design, they will look more like real tiles with dimension.

These are also easy to line up and apply. Note that they have a very strong adhesive, so once you apply, they'll be very hard to move.

And you can't beat the beautiful, elegant look of black subway tiles. If this is the bold dramatic statement you're after, this is the set for you.

Not every kitchen can take it, but a black and white checkerboard pattern can be stunning and dramatic.

You want glass and mirrors? You got it! These are real glass tiles and they pack so much shiny drama into each square.

If the pattern would be overwhelming for your whole kitchen (or shower, or bath...), use them as trim along with some more subdued tiles.

Here's a multi-colored version of subway tiles. There's an option with shades of marbled beige and brown, another with shades of marbled gray, and a third with shades of blue, gray, black and white all together.

This is probably the easiest set to install on this page, because the actual sheets are square. Aligning them is a snap - like aligning two pieces of paper. And the only cutting you'll need to do is when you run into corners or edges in your kitchen.

And yet, they look terrific and come in colors from white to black.

Instead of a sheet of tiles, you get one peel and stick tile at a time with these. But they're very easy to apply next to each other, and you can choose whether you want a stacked or alternating layout.

This pattern is really different! It looks like diamond shaped carrara marble tiles with little square tiles in between. The square tiles look almost like little jewels in the right light.

These are amazing looking because they're real tiles mounted on a sheet that stick to the wall. They come in several colors, including an irridiscent white that looks like abalone.

They're hard to cut if you need to cut the actual tiles, but most of the time it's possible to just cut between them, which is easy to do with scissors.

Arabesque patterns are gorgeous. This one comes in several color options, from a sedate white marble to this teal and a striking multicolor option.

The one disadvantage with arabesque is that it can be tricky to align the tiles, which is to be expected because of the odd shape. But it's worth the extra work if you love the look.

This herringbone or chevron pattern is fascinating! The color is a subdued white marble, but the shape is attention grabbing.

The downside is that they can be hard to cut. And like arabesque, any funky shape is harder to line up perfectly than one that's rectangular.

This multi-colored geometric pattern of long mosaic tiles is a mix of muted blues and beiges that will add some pop while still being relatively neutral. There are several other color options available.

Long hexagons have an elegant look as backsplash. They're shown here in white marble, but come in shades like "Brazilian green marble" and "rusty slate", too.

These simple hexagon tile squares are shown here in a beautiful sage green. They also come in quite a few other color options.

They have enough dimension and light reflection to pass for real tiles.
