Which backsplash?

9 years ago

Hi, hoping to get some feedback on which backsplash looks better. I like the small one as it seems like a softer transition, and I think the ripples will hide things. and I like that it reflects light back onto the countertop
But can't help wondering if the darker colour looks better?

Neither. Stick to a white subway/ white grout. Please. the granite has enough going on.

I tend to agree w/ Jan. The colors seem to work in 2nd pic, but not at all in bottom two. Bigger size definitely too big for space. Let countertop do the talkin'.
