New Ravenna.
“I select backsplash tile that is timeless—so if the cabinets last 30 to 50 years, the tile will too. I shy away from patterns because it’s easy to get tired of them and they can date a material. I love the texture of tone-on-tone or small stone mosaics. Hand-cut tiles feel spa-like and natural.” —J.G.
