At the end of the counter but posting pictures is the best way to get help.

it depends on the layout you have. post a pic of your space.

Thank you. I’ll update the post in a bit with pictures.

Here are some pictures. We are replacing the cabinets, countertop and floor. Appliances too. I’m struggling with how/where to end the backsplash. Maybe I should just do one piece behind the range?

Feel free to suggest flooring and countertop options :) Thank you!

I like the just behind the range idea. A backsplash would be very disjointed with your window and electrical sockets. Why not just leave that painted and put something behind the stove?

Do you have a floorplan/design layout you can share? It would be easier to note options for ending it that way. I would not do it just behind the stove, personally, for both aesthetic and practical reasons. Aesthetically, I think just putting it in that one spot will look choppy, disjointed, and as if you ran out of money for tile. Practically, I'd want it behind the sink, too, to protect the drywall from water. I'm assuming you're getting rid of the 4" counter piece on the wall?

Wow! Thank you! I appreciate all the suggestions. Here are some more details.
—There will be a lower cabinet to the left of the stove, next to the window.
—No upper cabinets. If anything, I will do open shelves.
—Yes, the 4” piece of counter up against the wall is going.
—I’m not sure what is meant by a step up but I hope I don’t have one :)
—When facing the sink, going left, should I start the backsplash at the end of the wall all the way to the end of the counter to the right of the sink? I would take it to the ceiling.

I really appreciate your help. Don’t be afraid to throw out any suggestion. I’m open to anything. Thank you.

best thing to do is wait until the cabs are in and countertop is installed. then decide what you want where. But.....

I would do the entire wall,,,all of it, stopping wherever your countertop stops off to the right. Kind of where that wall jack is, or just before it.

your 'step-up' is where the countertop is no longer level and juts 'up' as you hit the peninsula.

your window trim seems a little vintage. I don't know what the plan is for your cabs, counter or overall design, but I might suggest doing something cleaner looking for the window casing. Or, look into moving your outlets/ switch plates, as it's really crowded around the sill.

look at the window casing on this one. it's just a simple flat mitered corner trim. while I like this tile layout, I would have gone all the way up. I hate it when they stop under the shelving. I do like the industrial style shelving, the wood and the black sconce lighting.

here's more of a modern approach to the tiling, but notice how clean it is around the window. outlets are vertical and close to the countertop.

another wall of tile and no uppers. you may want to look into doing some sconces.

sconces over the open shelving will give you some extra light, and looks great on a large wall.

this option they brought the countertop up on the wall for their backsplash. just another idea.

love this one too. the tile on the wall is from CleTile, Zellige

Beth, thank you! Your ideas are perfect, and you totally calmed me down by reminding me to take baby steps. Counters & cabinets first, then backsplash. Thanks. I’m really stuck with the floor. I planned to run the laminate flooring from the dining area straight through the kitchen but it’s been discontinued. I have no idea what to do. I really didn’t want to break it up but I might not have a choice.

where is the dining area? what are you cabinets, style wise? In that you have a "wide open" type of kitchen plan, the surfaces are on view and make a difference. First, is your budget set so you know ball park price points for counter, floor/etc? If you are leaving the laminate floor just adjacent to kitchen[where is this?] I would not worry as an area rug under a table can leave just the perimeter of this material on view. I would want to put a hardwood floor in your open kitchen. I would measure, browse , and think about the different flooring available. Counters can be had at various points . Probably more critical will be your tile selection.....and some detail like the open shelves/sconces/etc that Beth's pictures offer. So: cabinets chosen, on to floor, "think" about counters, but big priority is the wall with DETAILS. All with deference to your budget . Removing cabinets from walls is currently popular, but it is space that must be handled. I'll tell you what is interesting/fun and not anxiety provoking is a trip to a lighting store...pull out the catalogues and look for ideas for your wall...measure your distances between windows/openings and appliance location and get ideas . Working a lighting plan into the backsplash /wall will give you a bit of WOW ….Be sure and have your whole concept on graph paper and post it here.

Thank you. I will give the big open wall more thought. It’s all very overwhelming.
