Tile Is Prominent

Backsplashes are a great way to incorporate lively design flourishes in a Tuscan kitchen design, and mosaic tile and terra cotta are popular choices for materials. Matte finishes may generally prevail over glossy ones in Tuscan kitchen designs, but backsplashes are one area where there may be an opportunity to add a little shine to the design, breaking up an otherwise earthy, laidback feel with some gleam.

Tuscan-Style Kitchen

Painted pottery sits on yellow shelves in this Tuscan kitchen by designer Linda Adams. Natural light streams through the window, and potted plants and a bowl of oranges dot the counters. Blue and yellow tiles and a tiled backsplash are partnered with yellow and blue cabinets to give this cozy kitchen a classic European feel.

Rich Sun-Kissed Color Defines the Tuscan Kitchen

Many Tuscan kitchen designs feature the trademark colors of the region, which reflect the rich soil, abundant sunshine and rolling green hills of Tuscany. Colors like ocher, burnt orange, terra cotta, soothing yellows and Mediterranean blues are commonly employed to invoke the relaxed, luxurious attitude of Tuscany.

Bright Tuscan Kitchen

The ceiling detail in this grand, elegant Tuscan-inspired kitchen offers a unique way to brighten a space. A coat of shiny metallic paint on the ceiling offers reflection of the recessed lighting to create a dramatic look that isn't costly or time-consuming to put together.

Mediterranean Open Plan Kitchen With Stone Wall

Ceilings in Tuscan kitchens may feature exposed wood beams. Cabinets are generally made form high-quality, natural wood, stained or painted in light colors to continue the light, bright, natural feel. Dark wood cabinetry brings a sense of gravitas to the open plan kitchen. At the end of the island, a built-in bookshelf conveniently stores cookbooks.

A Dramatic Range Hood Defines This Tuscan Kitchen

This Texas home uses the look of a Tuscan villa as its aesthetic inspiration. In the kitchen, stone walls give way to arches and a grand range hood.

Old World Kitchen Is Rustic and Sophisticated

Earthy tones, like warm browns, terra cottas and grassy greens, are used for a Tuscan-inspired color palette in this kitchen. Knotty wood cabinets pair with dark gray countertops and a stone tile backsplash, while neutral tiles and an Oriental area rug ground the space.

The Modern Tuscan Look

The modern Tuscan kitchen often features a characteristic mix of rich wood and elaborate, dramatic light fixtures, along with electronic technology systems hidden in the Tuscan design.

An Ornate Purple and Orange Tile Backsplash

A Tuscan mural backsplash gives this home an old world feel. Tuscan-style kitchens also tend to feature surfaces that are matte or distressed, rather than sleek, shiny or modern in appearance — this design style definitely suggests a "lived in, well-used and well-loved" vibe, with particular attention to cooking implements, which are often lovingly displayed.

Tuscan-Inspired Kitchen With Regal Look
