I think the Waveline tile is lovely and it will look great with white grout. Make sure you pick a white for the grout that most closely matches the white of your cabinets. And, FYI, if you're not selling this house in the near term (within 5 years) I wouldn't worry at all about resale.

Thanks, Sabrina! Where would you run the Waveline? Just that back wall? Both walls? So appreciate your advice. Most things came together easily on this house, but struggling with this.

I'd run it along the full length of all of your countertops up to the level of your upper wall cabinets. That means it will be higher above the cooktop.

Thanks!

My vote is for Waveline. I would do both adjacent walls all the way to the ceiling and all the way over and around the narrow doorway to the refer cabinet.

Both those choices are great!

Thanks for the feedback!

Daniel, that was an idea we considered too--basically doing the whole back wall, including over the doorway. You don't think it's too much to do that and the window wall?

emilyrtx, In my opinion, it would make a great design statement. The tile itself is very neutral and would not be overpowering. If budget or resale is a concern, paint that window wall a similar color to the finished tile but maybe a shade darker

That was our hope (that it wouldn't be too overpowering), thanks!

Another vote for waveline

Thanks, looks like the Waveline might be The One. Has the advantage of being cheaper, too!

I know this has been a while, but did you go with the Waveline? We're considering Waveline Mini in Smoke for our backsplash and would love to see any pictures you might have and/or hear if you're happy with yours!

I also would love to see any more current or different project pictures with waveline. We are considering for our master bathroom. Thanks!
