very pretty!

Do you want a bit of color? Or neutral?

I recently moved into a new house and had a similar countertop installed. I opted for a horizontal, 1/2 inch stacked stone in whites and greys. It adds a lot of texture and is really pretty, but tough to keep clean over the stove. I fabricated a "splash guard" of sorts that I use whenever I am cooking something that might boil over or stain my backsplash. I guess that defeats the purpose of a backsplash - so my idea wasn't so terrific. If I had it to do over, I would extend my countertop up the wall. Initially, I thought this might be "too much of a good thing" but after seeing it in other people's photos... I think it's a good solution.

Yes, a backsplash with gray or whites would be nice to compliment your countertop nicely.

There are several visualizer tools online - I like this one.

There are a few pics here of your type of counter, with backsplash.

That was my choice^^. Quartz is similar to yours. It’s a glass tile.

Wow! Love your countertop (and entire kitchen). Could you tell me what the countertop material is, color, and source? So hard to figure out these things from tiny samples :)

Agree with shredder1952 nothing textured, especially above range. Is it possible to run the same material up the walls as backsplash? I think it would look terrific, especially if the space is smaller.

I *personally* am not too sure about 1) gray, and 2) glass. I feel like your kitchen choices thus far are leaning towards classic/traditional and gray glass subway tile is too modern. But if you're trying for a more modern look, I think it definitely works with your color scheme.

The reason I *personally* would not choose gray glass subway tile is because I think it will detract from the attention your gorgeous counters will receive. I'd probably pick something a bit more classic that complements rather than draws the attention.

I love what you've done so far!!

I like the gray subway tile Chess shows in his post for his kitchen! It definitely goes well with the style/color of countertop he has (which looks similar to yours) and gives you a great idea of how it would look with the white cabinets. I think it's all about the look you're trying to achieve. I tend to the classic/traditional, rather than modern :) so I'm definitely bringing that bias into the conversation!

I LOVE that you put the faucet box in place for the photo!

Quite honestly, I love your wall color with the cabinets and counters. I would hold off on the BS for a while, especially as it appears to be a small kitchen. Less is more.

Full disclosure - I do not have a tiled BS. I stenciled branches and leaves on the walls in the BS area.

It's usual to respond to individuals here... unless you're "following"

Window and outlets ....is there a bit less backsplash area? What about just doing above stove?...

James, you can copy and paste the name of the poster, in your response. They will get a notification of that. (I could not do it here as I am on my phone at the moment and it won’t do the copy.)

James:

You need to get your duplex receptacles in your bar backsplash before you apply any covering.

I'd get a signed warranty from your estone fabricator. Your countertop inside corner radii appear to be nonexistent, [prone to cracking,[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/cambia-countertop-inside-corner-radius-dsvw-vd~2671463) and are probably excluded from the manufacturer's warranty because of fabricator error.

Don't panic; nothing may ever happen, however, if it does, you want the issue resolved, on paper at least.

Why did you make the tile on the left of the sink higher than on the right? It looks unbalanced.

Tile looks great! I can see why you made the tile higher on the left and I would have done the same. I never would have noticed it and bet no one else ever does. Nice job.

Great backsplash choice!
