You've got it by a 1/4". Lucky you; go for it.

consider something lighter. though. Counters are fine/they look good but a little on the dark side when placed up under the wall cabs w restricted natural light. do you have other options?

I have no ideas to offer, just love the space you are creating, very nice!!

agree with herflavor, go with something lighter. Here is a visual with a generic brown in there and I think it will look too dark on your wall

Have you thought about just doing a back painted glass using a lighter color?

Poor choice to put dark for your back splash. It's too much DARK.

I would not go with the 1/4” spacing. Had I known about this in my bathrooms I would have chosen a thinner backsplash. Soooo hard to clean around the faucet. You can probably find a tile that will work with your counters to get the same look you want.

I agree 1/4" is too small to even get clean but I think backpainted glass would be my choice you could use a bit of color for sure

Thank you all for the comments. I did consider the glass, also considered larger sized tiles, I don’t think I want to go too light since the top cabinets are light, maybe a color in between, to connect the top and bottom.

Using the countertop color for the backsplash will change your lovely, serene look and make it too dark. It’s worth considering something else.

Maybe something in this range if color?

I wish I could do fancy pictures, but I can't. Maybe stainless cladding on the sink wall - would match into the cabinet hardware. It's thin too. But having stainless as a backsplash is work! Then take white mini subways and do a herringbone on the range wall. Doesn't have to be really mini - like 2" by 4".

Because of it's maintenance issue, I'd sample is something like this: Shaw mosaic penny rounds in stainless mix. The version where it has multiple finishes on the individual tiles - provides a little texture, but also easy to keep looking good.

My other thought would be to do a whitish rock tile or to dip into other variations of the creamish color of the uppers, but maybe in a matte tile?

Thank you! Stainless steel is an option. Maybe it adds a little different look than what I am trying to get. I have a black glass vent hood that I will put above cooktop, the cooktop is not centered so the hood will not be in the middle of the wall.

I was trying to add picture… doesn’t allow me … so it plain glass angled panel without the chimney

This one

Another thing I am considering is to include the vent in the stone material as counter (you can probably sense I really like the counter top:)

Between these 2

My designer suggested a tile as on this picture, but the closest color of this tile is the same as my top cabinets.

From an aesthetic and practical point of view, 1/4" is too small. It looks cramped and cleaning in that area is made more difficult. As for the backsplash, I would suggest a contrasting colour that would give the kitchen a bit of zing and really compliment the wood shade.

I like the tile your designer selected.

I suggest a simple tile in the same color as the cabinets but a shade lighter.

The tile the designer chose is nice. Or a bit of color with back painted glass.

What is supporting the counter overhang? Dekton is incredibly fragile and needs a rock solid immovable base for cantilevering like that. If that is plywood under it, it is going to break.

Counter overhang is 14”, tge thickness is doubled. I am not worried about counter, the fabricators that I gave working in it I am sure doing a good job, they are big fabricators and have been working with Felton all the time. Or are you referring the support for the wall piece?

That needs to be supported by a steel subframe. A 14” overhang is going to shatter with no support. That is very dangerous as is.

There is a waterfall on each side, so it’s a support on its own, I was told it’s enough.

It isn’t. The waterfalls do not support the middle at all. That’s where the first crack will happen. Dekton is not repairable once it cracks. That needs to be redone with a welded steel tube framed subtop.
