In a transitional kitchen, a colorful backsplash can be a statement piece that bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary styles. This ambiance features a backsplash made of subway tiles in a bold and vibrant color, such as deep blue or emerald green. The rest of the kitchen combines elements of both traditional and contemporary design, with shaker-style cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a marble countertop. The colorful backsplash adds a modern twist and creates a visually striking focal point in the space.
