Which Backsplash Accent Piece Looks Best?

16 years ago

I am trying to decide on a backsplash pattern and accent piece to put in my Butler Pantry area. The main kitchen backspash by the sink counters will be standard 3x6 subway style pattern with my travertine desert cream imperial stone. My Butler Pantry is set apart from the main kitchen in an area of its own so I thought I would use the same tile but change the pattern a little and add a central 6x6 accent tile. I have been playing around with tile layouts and have found 2 accent tiles on the web which I think may be possibilities.

Here is the Butler Pantry wall space to be tiled on all 3 sides.

This is a sample pattern layout of the subway tile. I used 3x3 accent tile in the middle as "filler" just so you can get the idea of where the 6x6 accent piece should go, but I don't plan to use these particular accent pieces.

This is the Marazzi Bronze Fruit Medley 6x6 Accent Piece

This is the Daltile Antique Bronze Rosette 6x6 Accent Piece

What do you think? The Marazzi accent piece would blend a little better with my dark cabinets but I also like the rounded design and coloration of the Daltile piece too. Would love to know if anyone has any links to good tile places that would have similar accent pieces I can look at.
