Help with bathroom backsplash

8 years ago

We are looking to add a backsplash to our basement guest bath. White vanity, white quartz countertops, shower is mosaic tile (not marble, not glass, but definitely has a glossier finish), shower is finished with schluter edge. All materials were there when we moved in, so I don’t have samples and the local tile showrooms have been less than helpful. I think it’s too small of a job for them to raise a finger.

Looking for suggestions on:
1) tile
2) size
3) height to do backsplash. The standard 4” or go a bit higher, it is about 10” to the outlet in the photo.

Thank you!!

Consider using a solid plastic lumber product in a 4” nominal height, cutting it with a miter saw, painting it and installing it for the backsplash.

I would use the same tile as the shower

Sorry you didn't get many responses. Did you finish your project? Matching the tile would like nice but not if you can't find a match. If the counter is a pure white quartz, that should be easier to match. A local granite, stone place should be able to cut you backsplash and a sidesplash too if you want it. You can pick any height you want but with a small vanity like that I don't think more than 6" is recommended.
