This stunning kitchen makes a bold statement with a backsplash that blends artistry and architectural influence. The featured tile—Durell Cement Tile by Trina Turk for Tesselle—brings color, texture, and a hand-drawn elegance to the heart of the home.
Inspired by classic breeze block patterns, the Durell design puts a modern spin on mid-century motifs. Trina Turk’s interpretation is loose and organic, with subtle irregularities that highlight the handcrafted nature of each tile. The vivid turquoise hue adds a fresh, uplifting contrast to the crisp white cabinetry and polished stainless steel range.
