Kitchen Backsplash

Jessica Baumgartner
hace 8 años
We just installed new St. Cecilia granite and also a breakfast bar. We're having the hardest time finding a backsplash that works. I can't find anything to match and we don't want anything too busy to take away from the granite. I have currently bought and looked at 14 different samples (returning almost all of them) Any ideas/pics would be wonderful!!

    Did you also have the 4" backsplash installed? That should be removed if you install a full height backsplash. Your granite is quite busy and should be offset by a very simple backsplash, allowing the granite to be the star. Consider subway tile in the light creamy background color of your granite, or off white.

      The sample on the left to me, looks too similar to the counter top and the sample On the right just doesn't match. I would use this backsplash or this one instead

      Yes, the company talked me into getting the 4" backsplash because of the sloppy look of the grout hitting the countertop (I have no idea, first house.. first kitchen renovation.. I just smile and nod). We were just going to go to from the 4" up to the cabinets. I agree on finding something simple. I need to look at the subway tiles.. I just keep getting drawn to the mosaic tiles.

      I think the extra piece that is attached to the wall is part of the problem. Usually when our clients do something similar they leave it as is. Can it be removed?

      You'll have more space to add a subtle backsplash. Check out these photos, both kitchens have a similar countertop. Hopefully that helps!

      This is a really good example you can see how the bottom strip of tile ties in all the colors, it's just enough to compliment the overall design without taking anything away from the countertop.

      Yes, it's only on there with silicone so I'm sure it can be removed (where the part of the L is, the wall is warped so we had to remove that one to fix the wall). I do like those designs. We were thinking of maybe something subtle with a border in the middle. I really didn't think the 4" would be a problem (again, I was talked into it regarding the grout and the countertops) but now I'm not so sure...

      What do you think about our latest BASOLE mosaic? We have it available on three different colors (link below) - The beige color would look absolutely stunning with the color of your cabinets! Let us know if we can help!

      I did the same granite and have similar color cabinets as you. We too are trying to figure out backsplash to go. Curious to know what you picked out.

      so we actually are going to remove the 4 inch backsplash and go with a darker backsplash. it pulls out all of the colors and even though it's not what we were going to go with, we really love this tile. it's not up yet but I'll send a pic once it's done! ... this has been the most frustrating experience.

      Totally agree with removing the granite against the way and looking for a simple subway tile in 1 of the colors from your granite

      Jessica-- Good choice! Just removing the 4" Thing attached to the slab instantly upgrades the look by thousands of dollars. It's a creation of installers so they don't have to do finish work. Sorry the installers talked you into it, but glad you didn't feel stuck with it just because you'd paid for it. This will look great.

      Jessica ! That was what I was going towards as I picked that before reading comments. You have a lot of light color products. Yes your counter goes well, but the darker will enhance all.
