5 anni faI don't like the way two, different stone patterns look together. I would prefer having the same stone as the countertop, either as a slab or tiles for the backsplash or a ceramic tile.

5 anni faI have white cabinets and black/white granite and decided white backsplash was too much white and went with a darker gray ceramic and have received so many compliments. It was risky but turned out looking beautiful!

5 anni faToo busy. If you want to add the green color, maybe a plain(er) tile in a green shade.felizlady
5 anni faToo much black. I would suggest you find the same size/shape tiles in one of the lightest colors in the counter material: light gray, white, or even stainless steel (same finish as the appliances).leelee
5 anni faToo busy. Your counters are just gorgeous but they have lots of movement. Adding more movement in the backsplash isn't going to compliment them. They'll fight with each other.
Here's a counter similar to yours.

5 anni fanone of your samples will compliment your gorgeous counters. the thin glass tiles are modern and your kitchen is not. everything else is visual overload or way too dark.
how much b/s do u actually have to do? we are only seeing one section of your kitchen. a picture with your whole kitchen would be most helpful.
i would not but a patterned tile with your counters. you need to do a quiet, plain tile or take your counters up the wall.
i would not mix stones or use a fake stone look tile.
this is a kitchen where less is best for your backsplash. your eye needs to rest somewhere.

Here is the complete picture. Hope I captured well enough. Total backsplash needed is 20 sq ft.drdeb1234
5 anni faThe mosaic tile look has been kinda done to death in my opinion. If you love it fine, but I think it looks pretty dated at this point.
Also search “I hate my busy backsplash” here on houzz. Lots of dilemmas.

5 anni faUltima modifica: 5 anni fano to all of those. you want something to compliment your countertop. all of those glass tiles and the mottled one do not compliment. Are you at home depot?
I happen to like the black. (you have under cabinet lighting, yes?) so if you want black, try something in this ceramic
Clayhaus, chevron, above, or Somertile has it in a matte black
or these glazed tiles, FireClay tile in Meteor
CleTile in glazes terra cotta, black. (these come in subway and hex shape)
Basalt tiles. (Floor and Decor has these)
black antique mirror subway. these are really glam....
If you want a glass subway tile, then try either of these. Black Sand and Moonlight. These would be gorgeous w/your stone.
I love either of these. these aren't super cheap, but luckily you only have 20sf.

5 anni faif u go with black, which i think would look great, be sure to have under cabinet lights!!
beth's examples are spot on! i don't think i would do white grout. a gray grout to give the black some definition, but not "in your face" definition.

5 anni faI think a stainless steel backsplash would look great with grout color the same as upper cabs. Not too white or dark.Lion Windows and Doors
5 anni faYour countertops are gorgeous! I like the idea of lighter and a larger format tile. The small tiles are definitely too busy. Your last example was best, but I'd still maybe op't for a larger tile.

Autore originale5 anni faThis is from light grey subway tiles. Please let me know if these are working. Thank you everyone for offering help and chiming in.Beth H. :
5 anni faUltima modifica: 5 anni faSa,,,no. too blue/gray. and the size of the tiles are too small. you need larger size tiles.
Did you see the pics of all the black choices I posted in my earlier comment? did you like any of those? i posted about 8 choices.
these are the DalTile glasssnogir1
5 anni faI realize this isn't the best picture, but I have friends that have a granite counter with grey/white (the lighting makes it look tan). They did the soft grey subway tile in natural stone and it looks beautiful!! I think the light backsplash would look even better with your white cabinets. Good luck!

5 anni faI would go with something light. If you want character go with a shape, bevel, or crackle. Fireclay has some fun shapes. One color with matching grout. Let your countertop shine & be the star.

5 anni faYou will want to stay away from a busy back splash. It's very tempting to see all the pretty mosaics at the tile store. But I can show you lots of pictures where the colors where the same but the patterns hated each other = very upset homeowner ready to post a new dilemma.

Autore originale5 anni faThank you all.
Leelee-- that pic is funny, I totally see your point though.
Beth--I do not have undercabinet lighting :( , scared to go dark as it will look like dark empty space at night .
Passe-- I love the idea of stainless steel but heard that they are not smudge resistant and can rust. Also it might look industrial , no??
How about just half white /white normal subway tile??
below are just the ideas I linked-- Please pour in your suggestions.

5 anni faI just don't understand why you would put anything BUT the same as your countertop ! It's gorgeous ...so have it cut to size and put the same granite as a backsplash THAT would
Look best and the most elegant !Sa Ke
Autore originale5 anni fasilviakunst—>>that was a tad expensive quartz and putting another 20 sqft will be difficult as we grabbed the last quartz they had in that lot.OTM Designs & Remodeling Inc.
5 anni faYour granite is very busy, try to get a solid color as a back splash

5 anni faUltima modifica: 5 anni faSa,,,you had black tiles as one of your choices. now you're afraid of going too dark? do the iridescent glass tile in moonlight, from DalTile.
order a sample. These will bounce around the light.
or try one of these. MoonstoneWhy don't you just install some under cabinet lighting? it's not a big deal to do, and not expensive.
SS can look a little too modern. here is stainless w/white glass
if you want a gray, try a gray glass tile
Discount Glass Tile Store.they also have this ceramic tile in a 3x12 called Smoke
I hope you've picked some cool hardware

Autore originale5 anni faThank you OTM
Beth— those silver ones look cool. I will look into it. Thank you.
Unfortunately me and my husband are not very handy with electricity etc., I will ask the backsplash guy to see it.
Hardware is already done. All are handles except the top drawers. They match our stainless steel appliances.beachhouse1286
5 anni faThe large subway tiles that you linked at Lowes were the best so far. If you can find a large subway tiles that matches the white in your countertops, even better.

5 anni fahttps://www.fireclaytile.com/tile/colors/detail/oyster-shell/?size=tile-field-2-x-4 They have a ton of colors and you will need to get samples to check undertones. I think a lighter gray would look great, not super dark but not white.
