Hi Susanka I was excited to see your choices because we just installed a very similar backsplash and listello. The size will be fine and the positioning is key. We placed ours so that the bottom of the window cut the listello in half. Sounds weird but it actually looks good and therefore doesn't fun into any other outlets or switches. I will send photos as soon as I can figure out how to make them smaller. Good Luck

I don't have time to read through all the responses. Did anyone like it? I'd take it down pronto before the backsplash police come to arrest you. Your cabinets and granite are gorgeous, and I usually don't like busier granites. I really love the curved island. Take your time deciding on a new backsplash. I'm building a house too and I understand why you don't want to cause any delay. If I were you I'd remove it myself (it's not hard to do) and ask the contractor to repair the drywall and paint over it. Then you can wait a good while before having to make another decision. If you're like me you have enough to do right now with the last minute decisions and moving. Good luck!!!

I like your backsplash. I really like it! .And your kitchen is a classical beauty with those beautiful stacked cabinets and the gray, greige counters. Try painting the walls first, if you still detest the backsplash then think about ripping it out. I do think you will wind up loving your backsplash when the paint color has changed and you start living in your space. You kitchen is a beauty! Here are kitchens similar to yours.. soooo pretty just like yours. Notice the paint color is more gray and less beige... Mayble look for a warm gray.

That’s really helpful. In googling your material I came across something called Chip It by Sherwin Williams that apparently breaks the mix of colors into swatches that correspond to their paints. If you are looking for new tile, this could help you get the color right. By far the easiest thing to do is change your mind. Just live with it a while and if the hate persists, hire someone else to do the demo.
