Backsplash Advice - please chime in!
Comments (12)I agree, the darker one looks richer. Is there enough light, since the cabinets and floor seem darker? It looks like the lighting would be fine, with the windows and the lighter countertop. I have a Caesarstone light countertop, (Nougat), and I can say that red wine does not stain. Of course, I have not left it for hours on the counter either. The one caution I have is when I left an empty can near the sink overnight. I think it was sitting in some water (near where I keep a sponge) and in the morning there was a light rust ring. It did take some scrubbing to come off. I don't leave cans sitting there anymore....See MoreBackwoods too loud....please helllllpppp !!!

Comments (38)agree-long and thinner subway will be a great choice as for arabesque-I personally love everything that reminds me of home including arabesque:) so I'm afraid my judgement might be a bit clouded here.. I'd say-depends where you live. And how deeply you love it. whatever reads as very natural in one house, can start getting on your nerves in other house. I also love Sonoma. (besides Fireclay, Walker Zanger, Ann Sacks, Encore, and all the other great tile manufacturers there where plain subway is whatever I usually can afford lol..) With arabesque, I'd be even more mindful about tile's quality. I guess that's one of the reasons subway/squares are/were popular..harder to get them wrong when they're cheap. (Even though I highly prefer handmade tile..it's just different. Even being one shape and one color-it will allow for a different effect when applied to a wall..very slight subtle variation so slight you won't always get why you love this tile so much-you'll just love it. It will seem more alive) The more elaborate the shape is- the more visible any shortcomings will be. Usually. Might read as a bit fake. I'm trying to think now why..well probably because traditional shapes as arabesque are traditionally handmade? Simple shapes-easier to imagine them being produced en masse. So we don't have the same expectation of them as we would from more elaborated shapes. Glass mosaics-similar problem . Glass is plainly harder to get right. If you want to have dimension you need higher quality product. Or else it would fall too flat. Having said that-I'm a bit pickier about tile, because ceramics etc is one of my favorite materials ever. As for colors-yes I'd either repeat the countertop( white?) or cabinets(but would go lighter). So yes something in this warm white-to-tan realm. But same as you don't want to paint the walls because you feel they're great with your floors-you might feel the same about backsplash..it will be also vertical surface and will need to work with everything including your floors.. Sorry about the super long answer..and thank you for the opportunity to think out loud a bit.. I wish you great luck! looking forward to see your further choices in case you'll be in the mood to share them...See Moreboxerpups
