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.

What is the distance between the sink and the back splash?

9 years ago
I am installing a similar sink but I don't know how many inches need to be between the backsplash and the sink. What was done here? I hope mine looks half as good as this. This is beautiful!

    The decision was less about how many inches between the backsplash and sink (although having enough space to be able to clean is nice), and was more about the size of the sink vessel, the size of the table top, and the position of the vessel to visually balance the surface. In this case that decision was made by the interior designer.
