Have the quartz "backsplash" removed. You can always use it on a windowsill.

Please remove the short backsplash and add a full height backsplash in the same material as the countertop. You won't be sorry.

The color glass tile would look best. I did something similar in a home and it looks great. Take a look at my houzz page under Stewart.

Try painting a color you like. Both tiles you chose are blah and will do nothing for your kitchen

I actually like the current sleek look of your kitchen. I think additional backsplash would distract from that.

You could paint, but it does not seem necessary to me. You have a nice kitchen.

Painting it the color of that little blue tile might look nice :)

Countertop fabricators may not bother to scribe the top to the wall accurately if they know a 2 or 3cm backsplash is going to cover any gaps. Be prepared to float some mud if they haven't, especially with thinner tile. I'd keep the full height splash at the stove, but some folks don't mind scrubbing red sauce out of grout lines.

2 options: just leave as it is.. or remove the existing backsplash and tile everything.

Adding tile above the existing 6'' will look weird.

I don't know if you did anything yet but I would just add a small tile like you've shown to add a little interest. It will look fine.

I like the small tile you have chosen. Keep the splash if you like it. What did you decide to do?

Hi - we have the very same situation in our new build home: dark brown cabinetry with white quartz countertops and a 6” slab “backsplash“. Unfortunately we moved units in our neighborhood and so did not get to choose the finishes. I’m curious if you ended up doing anything leaving the 6” slab, or removed it entirely? Thanks!

My two cents; I don't think tilling above "short" quartz or genuine stone backsplash looks bad at all. It is a striking contrast, and more attractive than plain wall. And what ppl say is just their opinion, not the definitive standard.

I agree with sd1962. The stone/marble tile adds texture and interest without adding too much color or crazy pattern.

If the added backsplash material matches the quartz color exactly, it will look fine no matter what shape you choose.

Im curious what you decided to go. We are purchasing quartzite and are planning to do the 6” backsplash with it.

I see you have white quartz behind your gas stove - I’m just wondering if you’ve ever had any discoloration from the stove? I’m trying to decide if I can do quartz behind my gas stove or if I should put tile?

I echo Sherry’s inquiry. Any input, experience…
Thanks!

I know this is old....but -- I would try a large tile in a textured finish that matched the wall color and the splash behind the stove. It would give interest but not color. Kind of like when you put different textured decor items in a living room that is mainly all one color.
