Your novelty tea kettle is a fun feature in your kitchen that can add a pop of color or point of intrigue. To make sure your kettle is an accent piece and not an eyesore, try to coordinate it with another standout element of the kitchen, like your backsplash.
Novelty tea kettles sit on your stove or countertop for the majority of their lifespan, so selecting one that ties in with your backsplash creates a cohesive look. If you have a neutral kitchen backsplash like white subway tile, opt for a novelty tea kettle in a vibrant color with white accents on the handle or spout.
For homes with unique backsplashes in intricate patterns or hues, choose a single color from the backsplash and find a tea kettle with small amounts of the same tone, but the main body is a contrasting color. This combination ensures your novelty kettle doesn’t disappear into the backsplash and won’t clash with it.
