Please help me with choosing kitchen backsplash. This is a newly renovated kitchen with open floor plan so backsplash wall will be in focus. Not sure where to start but don't want to do subway tile as its too common now. It's going to be full wall backsplash and middle space is for a hood.TIA

I love, love, love all of the tile at Z Collection - Tile and Stone. Amazing options at great price points. They are also posting daily "inspirations" on Instagram. https://www.ztilestone.com/ - they are based out of Portland Oregon, but you can email them to connect with a local dealer. It is sold nationally. Happy Decorating! C.

Hi. We installed out kitchen in 2012. We still haven't chosen or decided on a backslpash - it's the painted wall. I have a creamy Egyptian marble, - don't remember the name. I like unstructured European vintage-y kitchens. Many of them don't have backsplashes either. My stainless range has a stainless backsplash directly behind it. I had picked out some mini-clear glass subway tile for the backsplash that coincidentally matches my Prescott Green paint color perfectly but what if I decide to change wall color one day? Just this week I started thinking maybe I made my backsplash tile decision three years ago which was to have none. Our marble installers tried very hard to discourage us from marble in the kitchen but I have not regretted it. All those kitchens in southern Europe can't be wrong. FYI - If you are considering glass backsplash look at a product call 3-Form it comes in an amazing variety of colors,textures and imbedded items, two good friends used it in their kitchens. http://www.3-form.com/ Do what speaks to you in your home. Best.

A white hex but contrast the grout a bit. Saying that I’m not sure how many colors it may be avail. It’s a very cool look. Your kitchen has a bit retro vibe w the white slab doors and simplified layout. I will be hinting at my age but in the 1960’s this is what there was. Maybe a pendant light over a peninsula ... still w chrome hardware . No islands yet. Maybe a little open living area beyond w some shag carpet And a sectional. Your kitchen has a bit of a throwback like that and you can have a bit of fun maybe w a colored hex . I say hex because because it’s an older shape but the newer versions are really interesting so you get old plus new ....and not overwhelming. So add color and so good for your plain space (maybe!!!!) mauve or taupe . If you had white counters imagine orange hex tiles...( yes)

I recommend Winchester Tile Company www.winchestertiles.com often and your kitchen strikes me as a perfect match. They have a gazillion options in terms of size, color - I just picked two photos at random: (I'm not suggesting the quilt tiles that came along with the white photo). The second color, by the way, is Hibiscus.

your pics are super tiny and sideways. have no idea what the kitchen layout looks like because we can't see it. forget the backsplash tile for now. that comes last after everything is installed. (and that arabesque mosiac is a tad outdated) Ditto the hardware. wait. the style you picked is better suited to a more modern cabinet. color is fine but that super long handle is better suited for large drawers or pantry cabinets. what color white are you painting? you're getting dark floors but tile in the kitchen? why not continue w/the wood? I just painted all my cabs and put down hardwood. I love it. Right now, get one of your doors painted. Take that door with you (and your flooring piece) and go pick out a countertop you like. nothing else matters until you do that. Using the wood flooring will open up many more options than that porcelain tile you picked. post better pics. show us where the wood floor is w/the dining room. (can you get more of that wood? maybe in chevron design? )

Since you are going full wall keep in mind that this will be a large statement, especially if it's open to other areas in your home. If you want to keep it timeless but a bit fresh you could always choose an updated subway tile. 3x10 or 12" tile has a more modern look but is still classic, you can choose a textured tile that looks handmade or different colors as well. A marble tile would look fantastic in there. Other options that are classy are hexagon, herringbone and cement field tile. I suggest going to your local tile showroom and see what styles speak to you before you get totally lost in the endless options online. Then if you look online you have some direction to focus on. Keep the color light so it stays neutral with the rest of your home. It looks great so far btw, good job!

WOW given the focal point this will be, seems late in the game to not have a plan. It will become what people see/remember about your kitchen if you go too outside the box as some of the suggestions above.

I like celerygirl's tile, but not with your counter -- all that nice stone would be completely overwhelmed. I'd go with a single color and either a simple shape or a shape with a bit of interest but no additional texture or color changes.
