I would like to use Mont Blanc satin quartzite in my bathroom but am having trouble deciding on a backsplash. Anyone have a picture or idea they could share?

WELL. : )

Design is editing. I think a six inch splash ( outlets cut into splash, sideways, or higher and above the splash ) always looks good. In the same material as the counter top.

Unless you planned to go to the ceiling. Which I rather do hate : )

YES, ! The Mont Blanc, and do a taller splash. It's not a kitchen. What is your floor, what are your shower walls? .........nobody can provide a better answer without knowing the other materials in the room.

The floors are a dark grey tile, the shower is a white marble look tile with a hex pattern in the same tile on the floor. Cabinets are a medium tone maple. Does that help?

"Should we push to test this actual slab?" Absolutely. Much better to swallow disappointment in that warehouse than in your kitchen.

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.

Backsplash help please?

I think you could go with a white or gray tile in an interesting shape: hex, elongated hex/picket, interlocking crosses in tone on tone. I would stay away from curvy arabesques, though. I think straight lines would be best.

I did not see the original posting, but neither photo looks like what is called Mont Blanc in my area. I purchased three slabs of Mont Blanc quartzite in Anaheim, southern California. This is a stone that is quarried in Brazil and looks similar to Perla Veneta. I had considered White Macaubus, which is more white, but decided I wanted to go with a warmer color. .

This is Taj Mahal, with a 3" matching backsplash. Only the kitchen in this home had a tile splash.

Small backsplash are pretty dated- as in designers from 20 years ago who have not kept up. tile walls are out in most updated, modern homes And are what most buyers look for.

Haven't kept up? Some see a stupid bathroom fad, and recognize it for what it is. : )
