Need some help with backsplash decision for my friend: (pics)
Comments (6)I have noticed that quite a few people are using the same granite on the backsplash as on the countertops, which is a very clean modern look. Not sure if this would appeal to her more than tile though, just something to toss out there, for what its worth. Otherwise, I agree the enhanced Noce subway tile would look best. And is very classic and timeless....See MoreBacksplash Opinion red white or both ... need to make a decision
Comments (5)Both sound great and I can understand your dilemma. I had a hard time deciding which way to go with mine, too, initially. I finally decided to go with white only (Crema Marfil), because it would never limit what kind of colors and decorations I could use in my kitchen. Three years later, I know it was the right choice for me. In the Spring, I like to use pastel dishes and different holiday decs in there. In Summer I like bold, clear red, yellow, and green. In the Autumn I love pulling out my gold, greens and rust dinnerware and decs. During the Christmas Season, red & green holiday decs sneak into my kitchen, too. I've never had to worry about things clashing with my kitchen backsplash color. Plus, from a practical standpoint, if we ever decide to sell this place, potential buyers won't be put off by the colors I've used. The house next to ours has had four owners in 16 years and each one of them tore out the kitchen right away because they didn't like the colors used in there. The last reno is finishing up right now ;^D This may not be a reason that would work for you, but it has for me. Lynn...See MoreMUST make backsplash decision!
Comments (85)Joan - we had the guy who did all the tiling in the house do the backsplash. We considered doing it ourselves, but he was only going to charge $300 to do it so we decided to not bother. Day - the kitchen area is about 16 X 16 and part of a large great room. The island is 5 X 7 1/2....See MoreMake a decision for me! Backsplash pics
Comments (8)You can use white or light gray grout. The light gray can give a softer look, although it is hard to tell how much gray is in your counter. I like the smaller tiles. How well do the two sizes layout without much cutting? Are all the tiles creamy white or stark white? You may want to choose grout that blends with the tile. There really is no wrong way to do this, but is really your choice. Is there someone else with you to give you a second opinion? Sorry, so hard to tell true colors on a computer. Best of luck on your fun project....See MoreHU-187528210
