Backsplash yes or no?
Hi all. We had a quartz countertop installed today that I think works very well with the existing cherry cabinets and wood floor. Previously there was an old typical builders black/brown granite and the room is dark to start with. Now on to backsplash. I like the one pictured so just getting opinions on here. I saw it in a friend's house and it looks really nice, although she has white cabinets. Here are a few photos of new countertop with tile sample on last one. I am showing the veining in a close up but it is pretty light when you are not super close to it. Please ignore the partially removed backsplash. Thanks!

last yearlast modified: last yeartoo much gray..not a good shape for your venue. I could see a pretty white arabesque if you want shape. More in keeping w classic, never out of style, cherry cabs. the 2nd pic has some gray but I think the all white is so beautiful and classic.

Backsplash - yes or no?
Comments (16)Cottonpenny- would you consider a stone beveled edge subway tile that picks up the color of the veining in your Torquay? I can't find a picture on line but I know I saw a sample at our local dealer and I can send a picture tomorrow. Where did you find your sample of the pillow edge marble subway- it is beautiful and might work with our soapstone counters. Sorry to ask when it doesn't work well with your counters...hope that's ok! I promise to post that pic of the stone if it's something you think might work....See MoreIkea Ekbacken as sheet backsplash
Comments (3)People use granite and quartz for backsplashes pretty frequently -- I think they're getting a thick slab for those too. I don't know how it's handled, but I'm sure that a good contractor who's done it before will know....See MoreBacksplash Yes/No? How?
Comments (6)I would actually take the backsplash up to the bottom of the hood, and then use that line to run the backsplash around to the other wall (all the way to the door and down that bit of wall next to where your cabinet ends). The down side to doing it this way is that it will involve a lot of cuts near the door. Your kitchen is gorgeous, and you already have so many lovely elements, so I would keep the backsplash simple. Perhaps a glass tile in a light neutral that goes with your counter, walls, and trim....See MoreBacksplash yes or no?
Comments (2)Have a 6" backsplash in the butlers pantry instead of 4". I did this in my half bath and it is surprising how much better it looks....See MoreJoAnn Babish

last yearHi, I am showing photos of two different possible subway tiles. The first is a "slide white" tile. What I like about it are the dimensions of each tile, 4x12 and the variation in color seems to work with the countertop and the trim in the kitchen . The second and third photos show an "undulating" white tile (bottom three tiles on board) in a matte or glossy finish. I like the white ness but I'm not sure if it's perhaps too white for the countertop and trim. You can see the trim on a half wall in the last photo. At the store, the matte finish (bottom one on board) looked closer to countertop but in kitchen light they don't really look any different. I appreciate any thoughts. TY
