Medallion Design Backsplashes
Aalto custom marble inlay backsplashes are an elegant way to elevate the architecture of your kitchen. A marble inlay backsplash can tie together the architectural elements of your space and create a focal point for the whole room. Aalto designs and creates custom-fit marble inlay backsplashes for your walls or kitchens right here in the United States in our workshop in Iowa.
Why Choose Medallion Design Backsplashes?
Marble backsplashes are beautiful and easy to clean, making them ideal for use in your kitchen. You can place backsplash throughout the room or use it as an accent in concentrated areas, such as:
- Above your stove: Many homeowners put backsplashes above their stoves. If you have a hood vent above your cooktop, you can get custom kitchen backsplash medallions to protect your walls from sauce and steam and enhance the aesthetics of your home. Placing backsplash behind your cooktop is an excellent way to create a focal point in your kitchen, especially if you have a stove worth showing off.
- Around a kitchen window: A creative way to use backsplash is placing it around your kitchen window. If you have a window you want to highlight as a focal point, consider a medallion backsplash in the kitchen.
- Between upper and lower cabinets: Backsplash is often placed on the wall between upper and lower cabinets. Stunning medallion design backsplashes can make an otherwise plain area of your kitchen stand out.
The kitchen is a place for celebrating, spending time with family and crafting artful meals. Backsplash medallions can make this essential space more luxurious, sophisticated and cohesive. Learn more about our marble design process and marble medallions.
The Aalto Marble Design Process
Our design process begins with a conversation, where we take the time to sit down with you and understand your design aspirations, personal tastes, and favorite colors and stones. Aalto works with you to find the best kitchen backsplash size, shape and orientation. From there, we’ll fashion the design to your custom specifications to create the marble mosaic you are envisioning.
You can customize your wall backsplash design down to every single stone choice and color. If you’re unsure which stone you prefer, we work with color palette directions such as monochromatic, rustic or colorful. Before building your design, we will provide you with a color rendering of your backsplash for approval. Every one of our marble designs can be customized to your tastes, style and home architecture.
Aalto backsplashes use designs and motifs from our Aalto signature medallions and classic medallion collections.

Blending History and Innovation
