My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Need backsplash ideas for busy granite countertops in kitchen.

10 years ago
We need help choosing a backsplash that will not take away from our new granite countertops. What do you suggest?

    LOVE IT! Just my style. We are in the same boat. From my personal thoughts, lighter or darker glass subway tile, less busy tile/tile colors or a colored/painted glass backsplash. Here are a few pics. The 3rd pic down, beautiful kitchen, but for me the backsplash is too busy. All the others are more me. At the end of the day, do what you LOVE and it will be right. You have to live with it, you need and should love it. I suggest you get some backsplash tile sheets at Lowes and Home Depot and set them against your wall and live with them for a week and see what you think.

    Please post a pic or 2 of your whole kitchen.
