Backsplash start and end points
Ok so I know this is a common question and I have looked at previous posts but I am still unsure. Our countertops are being installed in a few days and they will take the measurements for backsplash. We are going to having matching quartz solid surface. I am just not sure where to end it on the right and if it should go to the ceiling above the window. There will be crown molding installed above the cabinets. At the moment the wall behind the stove will have porcelain (for heat endurance) to the ceiling and end of cabinets as an accent wall. Same general colors as the white and gray quartz but not the marble look. But I am unsure if the regular backsplash should meet it or if that space should just be painted. Here are pictures for reference. Hopefully this makes sense.

Comments (18)Thank you Beekeeperswife! I love your kitchen so much, I checked it out on the Mission Tile and Stone site too, fabulous! I asked my fabricator to make me lazy susan's out of my sink cutouts. I have one marble and one in granite. They're pretty heavy but they blend right in when they're sitting on the counter. The marble one is going to go on the wood breakfast table because I'm not so sure I want that one to blend in. Aokat, thank you! You're kitchen is going to be spectacular. If I could have chosen any size, layout and style kitchen I wanted, I'd have plucked yours right off the page! I tried to remove the corbels myself this morning because I'm off from work. No luck. Best left to the carpenter I guess. I bet he'll do that last. Thanks Pricklypearcactus! I appreciate the positive feedback. It's scary to spend so much money and then fear I'm creating a frankenstein every time something gets installed :)...See MoreBacksplash? No backsplash? What kind of backsplash?
Comments (25)didn't have time to read all the answers. I have no backsplash and have never regretted it...been over 6 yrs. It is painted with BM matte...which has ceramic in it. It is as beautiful now as it was when first painted. I love the fact that I can showcase other things ...art etc in my kitchen and no competition. Also if I ever want to change it is as quick as a paint brush...expense is minimal..paint only ! All in all I think it is serene as you point out . Here is one pick. Since I have a lot of high heat cooking in my kitchen..built in deep fat fryer as well as gas cook top I can definitely speak to the longevity of paint only. c ( more at this album )...See MoreKitchen backsplash height, existing 4" backsplash, and ending dilemma
Comments (9)I have a similar question five years later: Is the 4" matching back splash now out of style? And how long will it stay out of style? Doubt that it would be possible to get a full matching back splash 14 years after the home was built. I am considering removing the 4" back splash and going with a complementary tile or, perhaps, a colorful wallpaper. Thoughts as to how long the short back spash will stay out of style? (I'm old enough to remember bell bottoms - the first time they were in style.)...See Morebacksplash end point when sink nearby
Comments (4)as long as the electrician is coming, have him move the outlet up to the bottom of the actual cabinet, or turned horizontal at the base of cab. so much cleaner looking. you can do your under cab lights at the same time. this is perfect if you can do those, then move the plate, like this, up to just underneath the cab. move the switch to a more convenient place. backsplash ends w/the countertop. if you take it to the wall, it's going to be hanging out in no mans land w/nothing underneath it....See MoreKimberly Davis

2 years agoI’d take the tile to the ceiling and wrap it around the corner up and down that wall.
The more tile the better.
I haven’t see a kitchen that had to much tile. I have seen ones that I think to myself “why didn’t they go all in and all up? “
So I personally don’t think it’s an aesthetic risk to do tile covering all the cabinet walls.
