Backsplash disaster?

10 years ago

Hi all!

I just finished my project and I'm having serious doubts about my backsplash/counter combo. When I picked the glass tile, it looked like a very light grey, which would have picked up on elements within the granite. However, installed it looks green (and changes depending on light) which doesn't seem to match the counters :-(. Can you guys tell me if this looks horrible or not? I'm seriously considering tipping it out and starting again..

I would love to hear some honest opinions..

Like a plant in the kitchen. Heart shaped philodendron is a favorite of mine.

The tile does appear greenish above the sink at least. Is there any chance what you chose was not what was delivered (or did you see it before it was installed) -- if you haven't checked, do.

Fixtures permitting, you might try different lighting options to see if that makes a difference. Try a colored bulb or softer or less soft bulb.

Painting the outlet and switch covers a darker gray might make some difference as well.
