Unfortunately it wasn't the best choice and it certainly won't help to sell your home :/. May not be worth it to spend the $ to redo though.

Rip it out.

Selling it next month? Rip it out and install something a bit less... everything. Selling it in ten years? Meh, keep what you love.

Sorry, way too busy with the countertop and floor. Might have been better as an accent instead of the whole space. I like it too, just not in this application.

I realize it picks the main colors in your granite, but it does read busy, yes..you have three things in your kitchen that are commanding attention-not only your granite and backsplash, but also marble(or marble-looking) floor tile. Your cabinets also have nice grain to them-another albeit subtle pattern. I'd say the backsplash rather takes away from your nice kitchen than adds to it. It's hard to me of course to say "rip it out"...it's your budget, your hassle..but simpler ceramic tile in one of the color pulled from granite would look better. And I'd go with a lighter color. The contrast will be with your wood-which is good, if you ask me since I like it..:)

You can always accessorize and get a very interesting kitchen. More personal or less, depending whether you do it for yourself, or just style a bit for the future buyers.

I must also add that I myself am the type of buyer who sees a house as whole..if I love it, one element won't sway me from buying it. Not something like backsplash for sure,

But if your family hates it, and you're going to sell, and you're unsure..I'd change it. To many "ifs"..and it'll look better.

Rip it out. It’s dizzying and completely overwhelming.

It wouldn’t stop me from buying a house I liked otherwise, but...

It’s too busy and doesn’t complement the lighter floors. There’s too much going on. To me it is very dated.

I actually love that backsplash (I know that busy backsplashes are "dated", but I still like them). BUT, it doesn't go with that counter at all! And if you're renovating to sell, most buyers don't have our (fabulous, unique) taste -- they want a "blank slate" of plain cream subway or something boring like that.

Put your pretty glass mosaic backsplash in your new house where you can enjoy it! (IF it goes with the counters in your new place, that is.)

While I think the backsplash is pretty the counter has pattern too. In this case a solid backsplash (I would do same white as floor) is best. Good luck!

Since you are selling I would remove it.

if it's not grouted yet, I would take it out. I think its distracting and taking away from your counter.

If you’re planning for imminent resale I would take it out and put in a subway tile that matches the white/cream tone in the granite. When planning for sale, bland and inoffensive beats bold and polarizing.

Agree with the others, take it out. Your house has a modern flair to it which asks for simplicity. If it were my kitchen, I'd do a 2x8 or 4x8 ceramic or glass tile in a something that blends with your wall paint color. The different material/texture will bring simple beauty to your kitchen, not overpower it.

Please don't beat yourself up about taking it out. We have all made similar errors and had to start over. You and your family will be happier in the long run.

While I think the backsplash itself is pretty, I don't think it really adds much resale value in terms of appealing to the most buyers. And if your entire family hates it in person, there is a good chance that a portion of buyers will too. If you love it and want to live with it, go ahead and keep it. If your primary focus is re-sale, I'd remove it and choose something significantly less busy.

It’s too busy. And the height of the backsplash should match on both sides of the window.

Sorry, not a fan.

Sorry but it doesn't go with your other elements and needs to come out. Put a plain larger solid color tile that picks up one of the lightest colors in the counter for the backsplash.

Sorry, but have to agree with what others have said. It’s dizzying, too much pattern with your counters, and is dated. Rip it out.

In case you aren't convinced yet ... take it out now, while the house is still covered in construction dust.

Finding a tile you love can blind you to a lot of things.

Before you do anything, think about what tile you would use instead. Your counters and floor don’t belong in the same space either. The only thing I can think of that will make things more cohesive would be a white tile with white grout. If you’re not willing to make that choice then what’s the point of choosing another, slightly less wrong tile?

You have a modern home but your choices are pretty conservative. Sheet glass might provide the break from pattern that you really need.

Reminds me of the plaid shirt paisley pants thread...only now we're adding saddle shoes

A simple creamy white subway will look much better & tie in your floors as well.

I’d remove it and not install anything else, just painted drywall.

Wouldn't it be argyle socks with the diamond pattern?

So I don’t love it but for the love of god no white subway please. This white subway everything everywhere for every backsplash recommendation has got to stop! It’s boring. There is nothing wrong with being unique!!

It's busy and does somewhat/pretty much clash with your counters, but it isn't terrible. Where I'm at, if I want a home then that sort of backsplash would NEVER stop me from buying a home. If you're in a hot market, then I doubt it will make a difference.

I'm over white subway tile.

Since you are selling do a simple 3x6 or herringbone.

Good thing you took it off. I agree with Elle that plain white will do your beautiful kitchen justice.

Another example of the Houzz community's brutal honesty being the best policy by bringing value to posters gutsy enough to ask.

Post a pic so we can see the before/after!

Great decision. I always prefer just painted drywall.

Good decision.

Good decision. I got dizzy looking at it.

Sometimes you have to be willing to accept a mistake and take a monetary loss. Been there, done that, with a shower ceiling done in expensive glass tile with too many colors. I reordered the tile in a pale/muted color and it worked much better. Lesson learned.

between the backsplash, floor, wood, and counters all with busy stuff going on, it makes my eyes hurt. I would replace both the counter and backsplash with a solid counter and solid backsplash with few grout lines. Good luck.
