Backsplash for busy countertop

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

I would appreciate ideas for backsplash patterns and tile color for a small kitchen.

The countertop is Pental Serra. Thanks

On my screen, the darker areas look mushroom color. I would try to find something in that color and in a larger scale, grout should match the tile. Or, are you looking to add a splash of color?

I would go simple and plain. Something in the lighter color of the counters or maybe darker if you have lots of natural light or under cabinet lighting. You can always do a simple subway tile in a different pattern to change it up. If you do a patterned tile such as arabesque that might look good as well,

Is the darker color gray? A glassy gray backsplash might be nice.

Here’s an example I found with your quartz, although I wouldn’t do light grout.

Agree with lucky. I’d go with a mushroom color, medium tone. As for shape, what’d your home style? More modern? Traditional?
