yes. if I can find at a good price. thanks

Hi again!
I like the ease of cleaning with the back painted glass, but I think it's going to make the kitchen too clinical looking. Now that the countertops are in I really think a natural element is needed. The kitchen is crying out for texture!!! Mid century style mixed the natural with the unnatural. Look at a linear, white stone (quartzite has a little sparkle). It won't compete with the orange, but will hold it's own. You don't need more color - the orange has that dance card full. ;) And the backsplash needs to be the same wrapped around that corner...I've never seen it change around a corner and still look good. Hope that helps!

wow.. I like that.. you make a great point ! Valeria.. thanks for hanging around this post and adding additional thoughts !..

We have this window in our living room that supplies great natural light, but we are thinking it needs some sort of treatment. Don't want to block it, but sometimes it would be nice to close it off. Plus I think it needs something to look finished. Thoughts?

Have you looked at Heath Ceramics? They revived old tile patterns, plus have a collection designed by Dwell. They have a lot of mid mod type dimensional looks.

barncatz I think that is Ann Sacks? designs?

no, those are heath ceramics.they some beautiful models and colors

To make it even more difficult, check out this site. The link goes to a pattern that you can create in your own choice of colours, but there are loads more options.

I think that it all depends on the look and feel that you want in your kitchen. The 50's look is a desired look presently but what makes it interesting is bringing it into 2016. I don't think the smooth glass back splash is clinical, it is calm and lets the orange do its thing, along with the floor. There is definitely a modernistic vibe going on in design these days. It says use colour and keep it clean and simple. That is what I loved about the picture you showed me. But adding texture is also great if you want to add more excitement to your space. Heath has a beautiful natural white which appears to have warm undertones if you can afford it Heath tile (BUT and this is a big BUT you would need a sample to make sure it doesn't throw off the white in your floor because then you've added another colour) or you can go for the good old, nice on the budget, really never goes out of style, beveled subway tile. My only cautions is that in my long experience in design, homeowner think that the backsplash has to be wild and eye catching and the queen of the ball. But too many time I find that six months later the client wants to rip it out because they are tired of it or it has already dated itself. Kitchens have so many elements that call attention to the eye. Cabinets, hardware (which I think are the jewellery), counter tops and floors all contribute to kitchen style. Your floors offer pattern too and so you get the interesting job of keeping a balance. So I would keep it simple and you will love your kitchen for years to come.

carolins.. love the site.. way out of my price range.. what about https://www.google.com/search?q=Neri+Collection+geo+deco&biw=1920&bih=1031&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwihuZWJtuHMAhWI2R4KHXWNAzMQsAQIJw&dpr=1#imgrc=1vGKCvT3tDYdOM%3A

neri collection geo deco neri white 6x6 tiles

roomeworks love anything ann sacks.. just too $.. I don't want my backplash to stand out too much.. like the heath tile. I was just at a tile place this morning.. I thought I liked the waveline by island stone but the glass it not white enough and just didn't look right.

Yes, I really like the Neri tiles. Interesting, but not 'in your face'. You could always order a sample and see how it looks in your kitchen.

corolins.. I got a sample and cant wait to go home and see how it looks.. I think it will work ! stay tuned.. !

Maryoroye Did you find what you wanted for a backplash?

How are you Maryoroye??

The Neri tiles look great! I agree Anne Sachs is too expensive.

I think good... I know tomorrow... I am leaning towards the Neri

Sod did ya'll decide??

Auto correct I meant So not sod!

we were going with this.. deco tile ... but it when we got it the tile shop messed up the order so we had to return ...bummer

And we have had this piece laying around all these months.. and we still are drawn to it..

I know folks think it may be too dark but the colors are amazing.. and goes with so much with the rest of the area...

Jeffrey court's studio glass line would be so fun with this color scheme! They have two different tones, but the orange/warms would be best!

alexia.. so which one are you suggesting. ?

Did you figure out?

minjeeah no..

So what color are you wanting? If I understand right!

So grey?

I'm not trying to tell you giving you ideas

My apologies, the more orange one. Not the bottom right one, as I'm afraid that one would be too grey. The orange one is the one shown installed behind the sink in the photo and at the top right. This is glass too, so it has good color variation. (the photo doesn't do justice) It's good quality tile, but not as high in price as Some of the other options suggested.

The original tile goes well with the orange, but I am a bit worried that it might be too dark for the area. Try to put it against the wall and see if it gives you an idea. It would probably be more helpful if you had 2-3 sheets so you can cover a larger area...that would give you a much better idea

printesa .. I worried about that too. but there is so much light bouncing off the tiles as some are glass.. and my husband 'photoshopped' what it would look like it is pretty nice.. there are under cab lights too..

I have been reading back through all the comments and I must say that you keep returning to that darker tile. You think it is amazing and from my objective observation and as a designer who consults with a lot of clients I would tell you that your heart is with that tile and that is what you should do. As much as you want to like the white I think your heart is with the darker one and I think you should trust your heart. Personally I like what I see with the darker tile and I can see why you like it and it must be all the better in real life. Go for it!

You can judge much better than we can do on a screen:) I am finishing a bathroom in the basement and yesterday I was going crazy over the tile..what I saw on a photo looked much different than in the showroom, what I would have preferred they don't carry,,so yes,,tough sometimes :) So if you like it and you see it looks good, go ahead It's your house and you want to enjoy it

My thoughts go along the same lines as Roomworks'. You keep going back to the brown mosaic. Which should tell you something :-)

Hi---

Terrific space!

I like your original choice, but it is quite dark and the natural light in your kitchen seems dark, so I recommend something a bit more colorful, brighter, and more in keeping with mcm style. Tilebar.com

Hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

thanks guys.. ! I just have so much brass brown and glass in lamps and stuff in the rest of the house.. my husband loves this first choice. but now he just wants it DONE !

I love that first tile! I think it would be beautiful with your other choices

Choosing a backsplash can be overwhelming! Here is
a great article: A
Backsplash Guide

that is a great article.. I am heading to my tile store shortly..

Did you figure out?

Hi yes.. ! I ordered the white deco again ! The first company messed up the order so had to return.. but went to another tile company (that I did our bathrooms) and they were able to get a better price and so done ! Should be installed next week ! I was just too afraid to go with a lot of busy color tile.. as I thought once I get all my stuff on the counters.. it would only look mess and too busy.. thanks guys ! I will send pics soon !!!

Ok!!! So glad you figured it out! Anything else?

minjeeah... so far so good.. will send pics when installed ! then it is on to the dining room living room area for baseboards and wall painting.. let the fun continue..

Hi there. I am just starting my kitchen too. It can be difficult choosing the perfect colours, etc. because with a kitchen it's important to do it right since the cost is high. Personally, I like the designer's choice unless you want a very modern look; I feel this one tones it down a bit and gives it warmth.

I was advised to wait until my countertop is installed and the the tile store will give me a full size sample in order to get a better idea of how it will look. This way I can bring home several different styles. If that is Italian glass (which it appears to be) I think that is a classy and expensive look.

Good luck!

I would go with a very light even white mosaics to bring out the countertop
Introducing many colours will make it busy.Feel free to see our page for some design ideas.

So fit you figure it out??

Did not fit

Maryoroyne-
I came back to look at your orange countertops again as I am planning on adding some orange to my kitchen and I saw this tile discussion. You and I think the same thoughts!

Oh- and I have Terrazzo floors too!
