Backsplash help for Sea Pearl quartzite

8 years ago

Hi all,


I am trying to figure out the backsplash for my newly installed countertops and am stumped. Would appreciate your inputs? I am finding the green a very hard color to work with....Pls vote for your favorite? Thanks in advance!


1) Dark Arabesque glass tile

2) Green crackled arabesque tile

3) Morning mist subway glass tile

4) Marble arabesque tile

5) Iridescent green tile

    Thanks Beth......out of my choices, did you say that you liked the white marble arabesque best? I am so confused with all the choices...

    I do like glass tiles...probably, more than the crackle tiles....my family is really drawn to the iridescent glass tile...it didn't photograph well....Do you think the shimmer is too much with the quartzite?

    dal tile has these iridescent tiles. glass horizons. show these to the family.

    Thanks Diana...the green crackle is almost a perfect match, color wise :) I am going to take a look in daylight before I make the final decision....

    Awesome Beth...Will add these to the list of tiles to check out :)

    I will post again in the morning...I think between the iphone camera and my kitchen light, it is not showing the true color rendition...Thanks again for the all the help!

    Yes, meghnt, there are so many variables on how colored is perceived--you can only truly make the decision in your space with your light.

    Thanks...he messed it up but luckily my husband caught the mistake in time and made him redo it...I am very happy with the way it turned out...these pics don’t do it justice.....I was in panic initially when I saw it without the grout and thought I’d made a mistake w/tile selection ...huge sigh of relief when the grout was applied as it made a big difference!

    Back-painted glass is my favourite solution. Your colour choices are as unlimited as the selections of any paint supplier so you can compliment or colour-match your countertop precisely. It's a very clean, contemporary look, simple to clean and brightens any kitchen because of the reflective properties of the glass.

    Thanks everyone...I love the ocean and I love that the tile and countertop has a coastal vibe :)

  • 8 years ago

    This looks beautiful! What is the brand of the green crackle arabesque tile?

  • 8 years ago

    The description reads grey but it seems more green when you see it in person...the white grout brings out the grey tones however...

    looks great!
