where do you stop the back splash tile ?

13 years ago

I do not have a natural ending spot. my sink is in a corner and the back wall goes past my bar to the entry. I have no molding around my entry. Can you take the tile all the way up to the ceiling and down to the molding around the floor?

Tiling the entire back wall would certainly be stunning if the budget allows for it, however your question is difficult to answer with a photo to gauge the scale and style of the room. A more cost effective alternative is to end the backsplash at the edge of the bar and along the bottom of the cabinets. This tile has many coordinating trims that would allow you to cap off the field tile nicely.
