The Story
In this bright kitchen, ARTO's handcrafted Artillo 2x8 brick in Early Gray runs as a herringbone backsplash from the range hood to the sink window and around the corner. The soft gray concrete has a gently worn surface and rounded edges, so each brick catches the under-cabinet light a little differently. Set against white shaker cabinets, a navy island and marble-look counters, the zigzag pattern adds texture without crowding the room. Seen from the dining area through a wide arch, the backsplash ties the cooking wall together as one calm band of gray.
