To backsplash or not?

7 years ago

Hi! Should we add backsplash to the right of the pantry or not? It's outside of the main area where a backsplash is needed and we can't decide. that small lower will have a mail area on it and a built in seating nook. What do you think? Continue the penny tile?

    Continue the tile. If you don't it looks like it isn't integrated with the rest of the kitchen. You also have a natural break point with the window trim.

    Yes, continue the backsplash. It looks unfinished without it.

    Yep agreed. Finish the tile on the wall

    Hi Kim, What a great penny round! Love the colour! What is on the other side of the end cabinet? Is that a chalk board? Where does that wall end?

    Would it be possible to do the whole wall in that great penny round? Make a statement wall with the chalkboard? I can't see what else is going on in your room but that tile is just so fun!

    Good luck & happy decorating!

    We're hopping on board the "continue the backsplash" train.

    Yes! Continue it. Such a pretty color...

    yes! but I would take the tile all the way up to the ceiling, especially around the window. on the pantry side just take it up along the molding to the ceiling.

    Just add it .I'm no match for The ladies up here. If they say yes it's a definite yes. I would

    Yes, definitely. Visually it will put it all together nicely and help to protect the wall against wear and tear.

    Yes, it will make it look complete.

    First inclination is yes but wouldn't take it to ceiling height as has been suggested. Also, will there be window treatment on the adjacent window?

    Thanks for all the great input. We're going to extend to that small area to the left of the pantry, which will act as a mail area. We'll also be building a seating nook to the right of that cabinetry. We considered taking tile all the way up near sink, but decided we wanted to add small hanging plants there. I'll post a picture after next phase is complete. Thanks!

    Yes we would, however we would also think it might be nice to extend it up to go around the window as well. Kinda of like how in this image from one of our designs below we extended the tiles up and around the hood.

    Is there a reason why the outlets are not in the same height?

    And YES, add some backsplash to the side of the pantry - Same height as the rest of the backsplash

    Continue the tile. you want to create a cohesive space and that would tie in that little area. I have a similar space in my own kitchen design and tile looks better!


    we actually left it untiled for about a month after had finished the kitchen, and it drove me crazy so I tiled it!
