Lunada Bay tile alternative?

7 years ago

Does anyone know of any good alternatives for backsplash tile similar to the ones by Lunada Bay? I have fallen in love with them but they are a bit out of my price range due to the freight cost to get them to me. I think they go well with the fantasy brown granite, especially the lighter color but would also like opinions on if you think the tile is too busy for the granite? Thank you in advance for your responses!

this option works with granite

both too busy!

I ended up going with a simple backsplash and kept the granite choice. 2 years later and I absolutely love it.

Neither; they’re both way too busy for that beautiful countertop! Think simple.

Too busy. It's a beautiful countertop, I'd go with a solid colored backsplash with one of the colors from the counter.

I have a feeling that will be the consensus. Thanks to those who have commented. I'll start looking for solid color tile.

Way too busy! Dump the countertop and splurge on the tile! :)

Yikes, dump the granite? Hadn't considered that...seems everyone agree that it's definitely too busy for the backsplash I was considering, and I thought it would be easier to start over identifying that than the granite. The only thing is this was the only granite that I liked in my price range, and I'll need 3 slabs of it. You've given me something to think about.

Actually that granite is really gorgeous and the tile might be better suited for a bathroom (not sure!)...but consider everything!

LOVE the granite! Wait till your granite and cabinets are finished before you pick backsplash and do a simple one.

I have this countertop in my kitchen! We went with a warm gray/taupey colored subway tile.

What did you end up doing? I love your granite, but I have learned either the backsplash or counter top must be the star, and in this case, the granite would be, so you'd need a plainer backsplash.
