I would go with a stone tile back splash .. with greys and browns in it .. That will play really nice with your granite counter tops and give the kitchen a real rich look .. Hope you like my suggestion ..

For me a basic white subway tile speaks volumes.

I love your kitchen. It's almost the same layout as mine, and I have subway tiles stacked for a more modern look rather than staggered.

Hi Ann, you have many pretty choices that are warm, classic, and elegant :)

Hello, I would suggest a glass tile backsplash. A style called Olive Oxfords, the Manufacturer is Marazzi. I think the different browns, cremes along with the golden/yellow color would really go nicely with your cabinetry and countertops. I hope this helps to inspire you in your journey! :)

I would recommend keeping it fairly simple since you already have a 4" splash. Something like Liah is recommending would be the perfect choice.

Shows you how we can differ- I thought Liah had a nice choice but I find it anything but simple!

Is that tinted frosted glass on one cabinet ? If you can find something like that It would work (glass tiles) I also like what Sam picked out.

Margo, very true. However, I do agree that your choice of a basic white backsplash is indeed simple.

I don't see it looking good here though.

Yeah, I have been told that about a lot of my decisions until they were finished...LOL gotta love design opinions!

You have a beautiful kitchen, I would use the white subway tile with light gray grout, that will make the actual cabinets and counter tops stand out rather than having a too busy backsplash

This is a beveled edge 4x8 subway tile with some very light gray grout

Thanks for your comments everyone!

I thought I would show you all what I ended up going with. I am glad the Reno is over and happy with the results and thankful for all your input.

It turned out wonderful;)

I am in the same dilemma, however I am looking to create some custom fused glass tiles to incorporate into mine. I love what you have chosen. Can you tell me what tiles they are? I think they would look good with mine.

It is a polished granite tile

Well, you made the right choice! Looks beautiful!

Sorry Conniewerb1 I was mistaken the backsplash is marble not granite.

Great choice. I think a dark tile would have been too much like a cave. You have nice contrast and it catches the light. Well done.
