Need help with Taj mahal backsplash
Comments (9)There are lots of photos of Taj Mahal and all kinds of back splashes in Houzz Photos. I am also installing TM and spent several hours over many days browsing through the photos and saving the ones I liked to my Ideabooks. I then searched for tile stores that carried those tiles and went to look at real examples. Many that looked great online were a terrible match in person. I have narrowed it down to three different mosaics, but will not make a final decision until everything else is installed in the kitchen. I will borrow the tile sample boards from the tile stores and that should make it easy to make the final selection....See MoreTaj Mahal Quartzite with brick backsplash
Comments (36)I know people here keep saying that Taj Mahal needs to be the "only star" and you have to use a plain backsplash ... but I think most of those people do not have TM installed in their house! I'm on my second kitchen with TM and from most angles a few feet away, it just appears as a beige counter! Yes, you need to be careful what you pair it with, but plain white tile isn't the only tile that works with it....See MoreTaj Mahal counter back edges hidden under backsplash be SEALED?

Comments (4)I can't comment on the pearlescent question, but I can say that it took us a long time to find our backsplash for Taj Mahal. We ended up choosing Crossville Market Street Ashbury Collection 3 x 6 tiles in the color "Fleece Crackle." This collection has lots of colors, shapes and sizes, and there were several light neutral colors. There are so many zilions of tiles, it can be overwhelming, but this is the one we finally settled on. Crackle finish doesn't give you the pearlescence you are seeking, but it does give a little bit of visual dimension while remaining a smooth surface. When we were searching, we wanted a calm backsplash that wouldn't compete with the Taj....See Moremalinowskikristin
