I think tiling the whole wall would look nice!

that Doesn’t make sense in this situation to me at all

What doesn’t make sense?

Going around the doorway. At least from this photo

The backsplash ends when the countertop ends unless you have made a decision to tile the walls of the kitchen.

Excuse the mess, I am unpacking. Tile will be over windows, behind cooktop and on the wall behind the coffee sink. Still think the Schluter edge is best?

Nope

So, around the doorway will be the only section on that wall with paint. Area over desk will be painted with wood and iron shelves.

Ok, I just worry that the Schluter edge looks cheap :(

What about a pencil tile. It comes in many colors.

Their pencil tile doesn’t have a finished edge :(

Do it around the whole doorway!

I wouldn’t go around the doorway. What color is your tile? As long as the Schluter matches the tile, you can end the tile there without drawing attention to the edge.

Just the subway, not the arabesque.

Casa, I like it with whiter tile...just worry with the blue grey tile that it will feel cave like.

You could do the pencil tile in the color of the grout. Doesn't have to "match" the tile, per se.

If you don't end the tile with the countertop, it's just hard to end it anywhere. You dopn't want to tile above your cabinets.

BTW that tile doesn't work with that granite. Looks like there might be too much blue in the gray tile when compared to the warm tones of the countertop.

Of course photos can change the appearance of materials, but here are the colors I have pulled from the stone.

Cabinets will have crown, there’s no room for tile. Tile choice is made. Pics don’t do justice to the blue in the stone. I just need feedback on the end, I really appreciate the help!

After seeing the full layout, I still think the tile should go around the door.

It's really not much that will go around the door, I'd do it!

But there are multiple doors and it would only go around one? I think that would look unbalanced.

Not a Pro.

Maybe I missed something........How are you ending the tile near the desk area?

njmomma I don't think she's doing tile on that wall with the desk.

Itsourcasa...." Tile will be over windows, behind cooktop and on the wall behind the coffee sink. "

So how is she ending it on that wall before the desk.

njmomma I read it as she's only doing the wall with the coffee sink, not the wall with the desk that butts up against it. This makes the most sense but maybe I read it wrong? Let's wait for her to weigh in.

I don't think that Schluters look cheap - I find that they tend to disappear, which is why I love them. Get one close in tone to your grout. Nobody will even notice it unless you point it out :)

Casa, you are correct, tile is ending in the corner, not extending onto the desk wall at all. That wall will be al paint. The only edge that has a problem is the cooktop side edge near the door.

Did the tile store try to search for a mini quarter round that comes in a similar color?

I don't love Schluter, but it is probably the best solution for that small area. Myself, I would scour all the local tile shops to find a trim piece or liner in a similar color!

Not a Pro.

You don't love Shluters, well then you have answered your own question. Do the wall around the doorway.

The tile will help with those hand prints that come along the side of the door lol Easier clean up.

I had the same situation and stopped the backsplash at the end of the cabinet run. I ended up using a white Schluter edge that's practically invisible, however I am sorry that I didn't tile around the doorway. It's not a knock against the Schluter. I'm just not fond of the lone strip of paint around the doorway.

And for Beverly, we looked at the Jeffrey Court riverwash too, but the hubs thinks it’s boring. 30 tile samples to get to where we are ;)

What are they doing with the outlets for the light switches there? I would not tile around the door, nope. We just had them flip the glass tile sideways to finish the edge. Is that an option for you?

Since no tile will be placed on the wall with the desk, I think there's logic to tiling around the door: "We tiled the entire wall." Simple.

White Schluter edge with white grout.

Your countertop and tile are gorgeous- it’s going to look amazing!

Since you are painting, not tiling, around the other doorway in the same room, I would keep it consistent and paint rather than tile over the doorway in question. I agree that a shluter the same color as your grout won't be noticeable.

Ok, so the riverwash Jeffrey Court tile has a bullnose...so now maybe I’m leaning toward that and we will keep the blue/green paint that we live in the dining area instead of doing a neutral.

I think it may look unbalanced with the tile around one doorway but paint around the other door. If it were a lighter tile maybe, but that colored tile might be too heavy and weigh down that side of the room. But either way you decide your kitchen will be lovely!

Before you panic and send everything out the window; there a good possibility that the tile has a glazed edge. That means you or the installer need to find 6 pieces in your order where the 3" side has most of the glaze...

Where is Beth She’s always right on with this sort of thing

Skippack, no glazed edge, I just checked with the vendor:(

What's the tile series/brand; it's surprising that they have a chair rail and not other edge pieces.

Go with your tile choice. You have debated and debated and always gone back to it. :) I love it... granted I'm not a pro but I've seen so many of your pictures and it is so pretty.

As for where to end, I'd get a Schluter and stop it with the edge of the countertop. I think it will look odd and unbalanced to tile around the door. You will hardly ever notice it.

Ha, Thanks Megs! This tile choice has been the worst for this project :(

@Momofthree Ma, I hear ya, girl!

Skippack, the tile store checked, they only have a pencil and a chair rail :(

The Pencil is the trim piece needed; what the series called?

I don't see the blues in the granite, but it's your house! I think the riverwash is pretty and versatile. You can add any accent with that. As for as schluter, there are so many different color options out there other than the bright chrome - we used a brushed nickel Jolly that looks fab. I would avoid the rounded ones but there are plenty of colors to match your tile or grout or whatever.

The installer can take the tile and cut it lengthwise (1/2") and paint the factory edge that faces out (take a piece of tile to your local paint store and get a small tester jar that matches). A good pro would do this in minutes with a finishing stone to smooth our the jagged finish after you cut it. There's your subtle edge piece and you don't have to buy anything. Very easy.
