Help me decide which one?

14 years ago

Here is a pic of the three backsplashes we are contemplating. The first is a 2 x 4 mini porcelain, it has more gold in it then the second one. The second one is a 2 x 4 crema marfil marble mini and it is a tad bit lighter then the first mini. The last one is Horus Art and it is a ceramic crackle. The first two would have two rows of the glass trim that is shown, the Horus art wouldn't have any trim and it is 3 X 6. Which one do you think looks the best?

    Here is the overall kitchen: Ignore curtain over sink, it is changed now.

    I am drawn to the mini tile after looking at the full view of your kitchen, and between those two minis I like the 1st one better as it seems a bit warmer and draws in the color of your island. Hard to tell, but on my monitor the marble one looks more gray-ish.

    I think I like the Horus crackle.

    I agree with Pal. From where I am sitting, that tile plays off the goldish color in your island granite.

    Yep - what Pal and ellen said.

    I'm with pal and ellendi..I think the Horus would be nice with your granite. It looks warmer than 1&2.

    1st mini tile is my vote.

    Another one for number 3!

    Can you post a pic of the choices against the island countertop? I know they won't be installed against it but it will be in eye line when you approach your kitchen. From what you have posted I'd say #3 but I reserve my final answer til I see the tiles against the island. :)

    I think the Horus matches better too. It and your cabinets have the same yellow tone where the other tiles have more of a pink/beige tone.

    I couldn't really decide on my backsplash tile without seeing it with the entire kitchen. I also have a solid blackish perimeter and a pattern on my island. Seeing the backsplash where it will be installed (or close) and in the same view as the island counter is important. Can we see that view too? It would help!

    I'm no help....I like the finish in 3, but I like the decorative tile in 1.

    I prefer the traditional (and albeit bigger size) of the last tile, but I do agree with the others that the first matches your cabinets best. IMHO.

    Ok here are the two backsplashes with the island. I can't get photobucket to load my pics so I have to put the pics on individually. Here is the first backsplash:

    Here is the second backsplash with the island:

    And here are the two backsplashes together: The only thing I worry about with the crackle tile is it is a 3 x 6 and in my space I wonder if this is too big of a tile. Can anyone photoshop the two backsplashes for me? This would really help to compare the two. Opinions?

    I actually like them both of these once you show them with the island. And I like your potential accent tile a lot, so I think I might try to find a way to use it. It seems like it ties the kitchen together well. The ability to use it might be a deciding factor for me.

    Can anyone photoshop the two backsplashes for me into the first picture of my kitchen.

  • 14 years ago

    Beeps, I agree with you in that I also like the accent tile and think it ties the colors of the kitchen together. I hope someone can photoshop the two backsplashes for me to get a better idea what they would look like.

    #3 has a more craftsman feel and I think ties the room together without dating anything.

    I prefer the Horus one, too.
