Seeking backsplash help - new homeowner!

I've read through so many old threads for inspiration but I'm still having such a hard time with this; I'm really hoping some of you will be able to give me some advice.

Everything in my kitchen is done except the backsplash. Based on my studies, to compliment it best I'll want something with a more matte finish as to not compete with the shininess of the granite. But there's SO MUCH OUT THERE, and with so many variances! I am seriously losing sleep fretting over whether I want diagonal or straight tile alignment, if I should add in an accent line or colorful pops of interspersed tile, if glass tile really is out or if I just went the wrong route trying out super shiny mosaics...

help me readers. Please take a look at my kitchen, and tell me what you would do if you were me. My first attempts at interior design have felt disastrous. I trust my gut so little right now, I could really use some perspective.

Can't wait to see some suggestions, thanks all!
