Our facebook group had a lot to say about this question. There were hundreds of comments and the overall answer was a resounding no! Most people don’t choose a bright color and regret it and nearly all of our members love their bright colored backsplashes. Lots of members thought that unless you are planning to sell the home soon that you should definitely go with a bright color. Many members shared their own photos and advised on colors, wood, stoves, light, and much, more more.
Below are a few photos and comments on this topic that were shared in our exclusive Facebook Group dedicated to midcentury modern home owners. If you own a midcentury house and are not already a member, join us now!
Here’s a photo that was shared from one of our group members:
One group member shared this photo and said: “I really struggled with the turquoise! But now I love it!”
Another group member commented: “I offset the bright color with white and gray countertops.”
Another member commented: “We chose green and looooove it.”
This member pointed out: “I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of my green backsplash. However, I went neutral in the rest of the kitchen so that the green had it’s own space.”
This idea was also floated: “This is the last backslash I did. It came in a brick pattern on sheets. I removed them and stacked them. I wasn’t sure of my tile choice until I found the correct pattern also.”
Finally, this member shared their own idea: “White mosaic tiles with a brown fleck, then a splash of orange. If we get sick of the orange we can easily change it!”
