Which backsplash do you like? Other ideas for contemporary look?
Comments (5)I like the green and the cream coloured tiles, but not the grey tiles from option A. Option B is far too dark for my taste. I think I would try to find a backsplash that is lighter than your floor and cabinets. Darkest colour in the 'splash no darker than the doors. I do like the glass-stone combination, that does read modern to me. HTH, Petra...See MoreGlass tile backsplash - tell us which size looks more contemporary
Comments (34)In general, the 3x6 staggered subway look may be a bit old, but I think that your two choices, 3x12 and 6x12, are both up-to-date and less common. Larger tiles have a more distinctive look and provide a clean, modern aesthetic. I think the stacked look or the brick pattern would both look great. In general the large size plus the stacked look will give you a great contemporary feel. You can check out the glass tile oasis website for some cool layout ideas. That’s where I ordered my glass bathroom backsplash tile and achieved that modern look by stacking them (It was the Sea Glass Tile Series). If you hate cleaning your bathroom, use larger slabs, since they making cleaning much easier. Smaller tiles also create an optical illusion and make the room seem much larger. In your case, where you are using it for the backsplash only, I wouldn’t say that one size is more associated with bathroom décor over the other.

Comments (25)Not a fan of either - just too busy with your granite. Go look on http://www.carraratiles.com/. I just ordered marble tiles from the. I first ordered a sq ft to see how it would look - came VERY fast. Tried another but didn't like it and called back to see if they still had the first. To my total amazement, they knew what batch my samples were from and they had plenty. If you are ordering very many, the come by freight to save cost and prevent damage. The only downside is that like all freight shipments, it's curbside delivery and the boxes are shrink wrapped on a palate. I solved that by having them shipped to the kitchen cabinet store. I ordered them late last Thurs afternoon and they arrived from NJ to KY on Tues! Jacquie, who answers the phone is a delight to work with! Great selection, great prices, fast delivery...how often do you hear those words in the same sentence as "tile"!...See MoreWhich range hood would go best with this waveline tile backsplash?
Comments (7)Looks rate well behind your eyes watering from smoke because it’s only pretty. Function first. The capture area of a curve is better than a flat area. But the other specs should tell the tale. 10” duct required? 600+ CFM? Grade of stainless? Type of filter? Type of blower? Country of origin? Price?...See MoreUser
