Although the bathroom backsplash is generally not the first design element homeowners think of, it still plays an important role in your bathroom’s overall visual harmony.
Between a common sink area and a stunning space that makes your bathroom design stand out even more, a backsplash can make all the difference.
No matter if you are looking for a unique design, a touch of luxury or visual harmony, find out more about the different 2024 trends for bathroom backsplashes with Rochon, your ideal partner for bathroom remodelling in Quebec.
What Exactly is a Bathroom Backsplash?
The first purpose of a bathroom backsplash is functionality: it acts as a wall protection, from water splashes. The name itself refers to this and to the surface located behind the sink or the bathroom countertop. But even though it is mainly used to protect your walls, it also has an esthetic role to play in your bathroom design.
First and foremost, renovating a bathroom requires thorough planning, especially when the time comes to choose a design and select materials. Find out more about our tips and tricks on the subject.
Different Trends for Bathroom Backsplash Colours for 2024
Vibrant Colours
In 2024, we are swapping dull colours for vibrant tones that bring a feeling of renewed energy to the bathroom. There are numerous choices available to you, according to the different hues you have already selected for the room.
When it comes to yellows, for example, you should opt for rich shades like mustard yellow, curry or caramel. Orange is also a great option for bright mornings. Vibrant colours create a focal point in your space.
Warm and Earthy Tones
A return to natural colours has been popular among homeowners, for several years already. Warm and earthy tones are trendy in different rooms of your home, including the bathroom, where they evoke a feeling of warmth, relaxation and comfort. While vibrant colours add a touch of uniqueness, these tones will provide you with an atmosphere of refinement and serenity.
Among the different tones you can choose from, beige, greige and terracotta are always a trendy choice.
Trendy Bathroom Backsplash Styles for 2024
Organic Backsplash
If you like natural materials and less polished textures, you will love these 2024 trends:
- Terracotta Backsplash and Tiles
Terracotta and its rustic charm are the perfect addition to any room. A terracotta backsplash offers a unique style that symbolizes a return to living in harmony with nature. However, as a material, terracotta remains quite fragile. You should ask professionals to help you install and seal it. For your renovation or remodelling projects, we work hand in hand with our trusted partners at Gereco Construction.
- Backsplash with Quarry Tiles
Quarry tiles bring a raw touch that blends perfectly with bathrooms in warm tones. This type of backsplash is available in a wide range of natural clay tones. They do not have a glassy finish and they are slightly porous, on top of being quite durable and waterproof.
- Backsplash with Natural Stone Tiles
Project designed by ROCHON Are you looking for timeless elegance, durability and a luxurious design? Natural stone is made for you, with subtle fluctuations in colour and a unique design. Natural stone might be more expensive than the different products made to imitate it, but it will provide your bathroom design with prestige (and increase its value).
Backsplash Made with Ceramic or Porcelain Tiles
Project designed by ROCHON Ceramic and porcelain blend in seamlessly into any space. You can play with shapes, colours and patterns, and even choose a finish that takes on the appearance of wood or marble. This means that it can perfectly adapt to your ambitions. Take note that porcelain is the most durable of the two, while ceramic is more affordable.

Square Tiles
Small or medium sized, brick imitation or with a zellig effect, square tiles are a classic and timeless option that offer lots of different possibilities. You can also have fun with the grout colour!
Textured Backsplash
Textures bring visual depth and richness, and a unique style to your room. Discreet fluted patterns or mosaics and subtle textures blend in harmoniously with different designs.
A 3D Backsplash
Just like a textured backsplash, relief will give your bathroom a unique style. Depending on the colours and finishes, it can create the illusion of movement, and even reflect light for a brighter space.
A Backsplash in Continuation with the Countertop
Project designed by ROCHON To make the room look bigger and to create a harmonious design in a room that already holds a lot of visual information, a countertop that extends into the backsplash is a wise choice, for an effortless streamlined style.
Laminated Backsplash Panels
Laminate is often chosen as a practical and economical solution. In fact, it comes in a wide array of patterns and colours, often imitating other materials like marble or wood, but at a more affordable price.
With our partner Dörr Industries, cabinet doors are just as customizable to match your already existing furniture and backsplash.
Wallpaper Backsplash
Project designed by ROCHON Wallpaper has been making a comeback in recent years, and there are even more interesting options than ever before. Available in a wide selection of patterns or frescoes, it can help you create a truly unique bathroom design. A wallpaper used as a backsplash is a great choice, but make sure you pick one that is waterproof.
Mixing Patterns
If you wish to create a unique design, you can opt to be bold by mixing different patterns, playing with contrasts and harmonies. Our designers can help you create a coherent design.
