Help with backsplash

4 years ago

Getting new Cambria quartz countertops, Dovedale pattern, which is mostly white with bits of beige. Have plain white cabinets with shaker style doors, sleek silver tone hardware. Can't decide which size to use for the beige glass tile for the backsplash. These tiles are available in 2 x 6 inches, or 3 x 12 inches. Price difference is insignificant. Do you recommend one size over the other, and why?

The smaller tile will mean more grout lines - so it will be a little busier. Your counter is pretty simple so it's really just personal preference.

The larger. But that said? I would recommend NO tile selection until the kitchen and tops are fully installed. It can't go on the walls until then in any case. Better safe than sorry : ) There are MILLIONS of tiles. A drag home of samples, a stand back and look.........all better live and at the finish line.
