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.

For someone who knows what they're doing, there's a little more thought involved with reference to layout and execution, but once started, it's every bit as easy. If you look closely at the pattern, it's just a matter of stacking the pieces, each piece a half tile off from the last, first on their sides, and then on end. Piece of cake!! (It just LOOKS complicated!)

PS: It appears that you have a countertop curb fabricated as your backsplash? That must be removed before you tile. Either a curb OR a backsplash. NOT both.

Hi. I’m familiar with Aria Stone and they would have just provided the slab and not known about the other products like the backsplash in this finished designer photo. But I did recognize the style of the splash design and thought it could be one of the fabulous New Ravenna mosaic tiles. I’ve used several of their tile designs before and they are always beautiful. So I looked through their site till I found what it looks like. It looks like it’s from their Chevron Studio Line in Calacatta Gold. It’s one of three colorways available (the others are a more solid white and a dark grey). This one has the variable colors like your picture shows. So this should get you what you need! Link and pic below. If its not, there are plenty of other amazing mosaics and waterjet tile designs to choose from! https://newravenna.com/nr-product/studio-chevron-calacatta-gold/
