Kitchen backsplash around deep window
I have a design dilemma concerning where to start and end my subway tile backsplash around the deep window in my kitchen.
As you can see from the photos, there are drywall returns and outside corners around the window and a small drywall area underneath the window behind the sink. This smaller area underneath the window may make continuing my subway tile pattern from the adjacent wall awkward...
My ideas are:
Bring tile up to cabinet level and bring across using bullnose or some sort of trim around the window. Either half tiles and bullnose beneath the window, or bullnose/trim and some sort of accent smaller tile pattern that might fit neater under there.
Same as above, but tile up to the ceiling left and right of window
Tile the entire area including drywall returns and all outside corners. I’m worried this will be a little heavy on the tile and make me feel like I’m in a shower while washing dishes...
If anyone has any thought/opinions/advice I would be appreciative.

Backsplash tile around window, Need opinions, advice.
Comments (14)Thanks for the links to how to upload photos..I'm not too excited about yet another subscription to use an external site for my photos just to do this..The "test" page brings up a "browse" box which I assumed allowed you to pull up your image, but when I actually went to post, only the URL box showed up. I'll have to look into this a little more to see if there is anyway to avoid using another service. KitchenAddict & Circuspeanut - I Love your kitchens! KitchenAddict, if I ever get these posted, you'll see that we alomost have the same countertop, faucet, and all of us are even using white roller shades! (Tip- They can be hung backwords so you don't see the roll but the opening on the fastener is at the bottom so it could fall out easier. If you don't open and close it a lot, it's well worth it. I'm just super careful when I do it. For me, it's just a quick fix until I figure out what I want to use but considering painting a cool pattern on mine once I get a little further along into the project. I'll share those too as this progresses. Thanks for sharing the photos, they help a lot...Still hoping for more! Would love to see someone who has taken the tile all the way up around the sink window to help me decide....See MoreIssue with backsplash around window! Need advice!
Comments (16)Since you are already part-way through the installation, unless you want to re-do (and I know that my DH doesn't enjoy re-doing what was already decided and done) I think you should consider sticking with Glo's original layout as pictured. It's interesting without drawing attention and retains functionality of the tiled backsplash....See MoreSmall border backsplash. Under or around the window?
Comments (2)It's not crazy to not want a backsplash. The 6 inch pieces tend to look too tall IMO, but you could always try getting wider window trim so the 4 inch won't leave a gap. For behind the stove you can go for a simple stainless steel panel or tile up to the bottom of the vent hood....See MoreNeed help on quartz backsplash installation around kitchen window
Comments (2)I agree no need to remove the casing in fact probaly will look odd if the rest of the windows have casing. BTW best to post pictures when asking questions and you post them in a comment here not a new post....See More
