Feedback wanted on what to do with my kitchen backsplash. When I set out on updating my kitchen counters and backsplash I thought I would use the same Calcutta Quartz on my center island, back counters and up the back wall to the ceiling of my kitchen . After I installed the counters, I feel going up the back wall with the same material will be boring (?) and too much of the same. I like the organic feeling of a natural looking stone and quartz. I am not sure what to do… things I am thing of are:

1. Run the Calcutta behind the stove up the wall (only) and use a natural stone in a dark grey (see photo) up the remainder of the wall up to the ceiling.
2. Run the natural dark grey stone up the entire wall, including behind the stove and hood.
3. I was originally going for a "white kitchen," I was thinking of a herringbone with white tiles, or glass subway tiles, but if you look at the other photos of the great room you will see that I have a dark chocolate colored couch and a floating console in dark brown against the back wall. The kitchen and seating area are one big room.

I am wanting a more modern look, but my staple is traditional glam.

I am open to ideas! What would you do?? See attached photos.
