This post shows you the best log cabin kitchen backsplash ideas.

For the longest time, I thought cabins had to be entirely made of wood or at least look like it.

However, after some research, I discovered this is not the case.

In fact, the kitchen area is where you can go all out with wallpaper and tiles.

When decorating my cabin’s backsplashes, I was well-equipped with all the designs needed to make it look exceptional.

I have written this article to share 17 of the best cabin kitchen backsplash ideas you can use in your own space.

Log print wallpaper

A fun and easy backsplash idea is log print wallpaper.

It will carry the woodsy theme into your kitchen and complement a wooden gable roof very well.

However, you must make sure that you get vinyl wallpaper which is water-resistant and washable.

Glossy subway tiles

While the rest of the kitchen has that rough, unpolished look, install glossy subway tiles to bring texture contrast.

Get them in a shiny white color and lay them vertically for an even more eye-catching look.

Black and shiny

High-shine tiles are very trendy and can surprisingly fit well into your cabin’s kitchen.

For the backsplash, install them in a black horizontal layout.

Fix big downlights into your paneled ceiling to bring out the tiles’ reflections and high gloss sheen.

Dry stack stone

For the ultimate outdoorsy look, try a dry stack stone backsplash.

Without mortar, grout,or cement, the natural stones will resemble a landscaped garden wall.

The rest of the kitchen should comprise rich dark brown walnut wood and medium grey elements and finishes.

Bright lights

Although cabins are usually associated with warm low light, your kitchen space can be bathed in white lights.

Above a grey tiled backsplash, install under cabinet lighting and light bars.

Also, fix white puck and pendant lights in your kitchen for the best luminous effect.

Pale yellow

Another interesting color palette you might want to explore for your kitchen backsplash is this pale yellow one.

In a box tile shape, expect the creamy yellowcolor to exude warmth and serenity.

For the rest of the room, have smooth oak wood surfaces and many windows for as much natural light as possible.

Neutral grey

If your cabin’s kitchen is a light colormade of pine or oak and with white walls and floors, go for this idea.

It features medium grey diamond tiles with white grout.

The countertops are also covered in grey marble to carry the neutral aesthetic.

Brown subway tiles

For a backsplash idea that will blend in with the cabin wood vibe and colors, try out brown subway tiles.

Choose different shades of brown, including tan, walnut,cinnamon, and mahogany, to mimic the grain pattern in logwood.

Keep the other kitchen elements silver or black.

Modern monochrome

Even wooden cabins can have modern kitchen spaces, making this the perfect design.

It encompasses a white marble backsplash with grey veining, matte black cabinets, and white paneling on the surrounding walls.

Against a wooden ceiling, you will experiencethe best of both worlds.

Short backsplash

Sometimes, you don’t need a cabinet-high backsplash.

You can choose a short backsplash that extends only a few inches above the countertops.

This particular one features a smooth, light granite design.

It is the same material as the counters, which sit atop light oak cabinets.

Stone veneer

If you want the appearance and texture of natural stone for your cabin’s backsplash but aren’t entirely committed to the idea, try a veneer wall.

You need to install it ceiling high and over the counters in a grey-brown design.

To help it stand out, keep the rest of the kitchen light with birch or oakwood finishing.

Mosaic backsplash

Mosaic tile designs can take your kitchen backsplash from basic to bougie.

This idea calls for small penny-sized dark tiles in a glossy finish.

Mix them with white tiles and grout, then set them against smooth maple wood walls.

Red brick

For atraditional log cabin backsplash aesthetic, pick classic red bricks.

As is the old-fashioned style, evenly lay the bricks invertical lines with prominent white grout lines.

Their red color will complement a light oakwood kitchen with black fixtures and fittings.

Ceramic pattern

Ceramic tile patterns are effortlessly beautiful and easily draw attention.

Use it for your cooker’s backsplash space with a yellow star design and subway tile background.

The warm hues of the tiles will perfectly accent the deep red-brown pine used to construct the kitchen.

Herringbone design

For a simple yet elegant brick backlash, incorporate a herringbone or chevron design.

The V-shaped red and brown bricks will come together to create a stunning, multi-dimensional space behind your cooking station.

The rest of the kitchen should be black and white with marble counters and plenty of light.

Light brick wall

In case you still want an old-fashioned brick backsplash but don’t want something quite as striking, this idea is for you.

It has the ideal mix of cream, tan, and beige bricks vertically stacked and held together by an off-white mortar.

The remaining kitchen space should be bright white with blue cupboards.

Metallic backsplash

Although it is a unique backsplash material choice, dark rustic metal panels will undoubtedly give your kitchen a modern, rustic edge.

Preferably, use unpolished blackened iron sheets and accent them with gold details.

Lastly, to complete the look, enclose the backsplash in natural stone.
