With this kind of mirrored backsplash, the mirrored subway tiles become the star of the show. The lines of the tile draw interest as does the mirrored tile itself. Subway tile is a very popular classic look and the mirrored tiles are an updated on that classic look which can enhance a kitchen\s space.

2. Antique

Mirrors can be treated to look aged and antiqued. This creates a very warm, vintage look and can be a great option to include mirrors that are toned down and not quite as reflective as an untreated mirror might be.

3. Diagonal Tile

Installing mirrored tiles on the diagonal will give your kitchen a one-of-a-kind backsplash. Tiles can be small or large depending on your style. This is a very popular look for a classic kitchen.

4. Mosaic Tile

These smaller tiles, usually about one inch wide, add instant pop to your kitchen. Don't worry you don't have to apply these tiles one by one!

5. Partial

This is a very straightforward application of mirrored backsplash that is applied above the countertops and below the cabinets. This is a great option if you want to add a mirrored accent and not an entire wall of backsplash.
