Would this back splash be good for a very tiny kitchen?

9 years ago

I have a white brick wall on the opposite side and the walls are a light gray with white base boards and crown molding.the counter top is quarts - Black with a small amount of white and brown. The cabinets are oak.

Hi - Thanks for asking. For a small space, the tile could work but I suggest running it in a more conventional coursing. The chevron pattern (shown here) might be too busy for a small space. If you could email me some more information, I might be able to give more informed advice.

This is the kitchen. The two walls across from each other are about 6 feet apart. We are remodeling and as you can see we still have a lot to do. We wonder about the fancy diamond shape white tile as well. Or the little rectangle ones that come in 3 colors like white, gray, and a glassy look.

Suggest installing a subway inspired tile from DalTile called "Modern Dimensions" set in a running bond pattern. Are you painting/refinishing your cabinets?
