Need help on kitchen backsplash!

8 years ago

We have a dark inset cabinet and we went with splendor white granite. I had a different granite in mind with a backsplash but now that I changed granite, I can't find a good backsplash. Any ideas? Thanks!

I have similar colors in my kitchen and didn't want the backsplash to compete with my granite. This isn't my kitchen but this is the glass backsplash I used. It provided some texture and the natural light shining off it in my kitchen is very pretty.

I like both of those. What company are they or where did you find the tiles?

I would use a simple tile that keeps the focal point on the beautiful granite such as the one attached Glass tile Mosaic Tile companyhttp://www.mosaictileco.com/SelectedTile.aspx?SKU=53CRYMOS12

Subway tile is always a classic, and can be found in beautiful shades of grey as well as off-whites. The simplicity of the tile will help the granite shine! I'd take a look at the Cafe series from Walker Zanger.

We had a customer with a very similar granite use a cream glass subway tile and it looked great. A bright white/light cream would work best with the dark cabinets and light counters. We have the cream in the strip mosaic like Dani posted, as well as the 3x6 and 1x2 glass subway tiles.

Light gray or white subway tile would really compliment!
