Backsplash free wall in a small kitchen? Or brick panels?

4 years ago

Hi everyone, I am renovating a tiny kitchen with a difficult layout. One side (long wall), where the range/range hood and the sink will be located will have a quartz backsplash. Since the kitchen is small, I decided to use the same quartz as for the countertop. The other wall (picture 1) will have rather narrow cabinetry 15" deep bottom cabinets and 11" deep top cabinets. Anything bigger would block the door onto the back porch. For that reason, the cabinets will end about 12 inches away from that wall/door. There is also a doorway to the dining room on that wall. So, my options for that wall are either no backsplash or something else. Quartz is too thick and unless it goes wall-to-wall, it will not look good IMO. I really love the look of old brick and was hoping to either use brick veneer/thin bricks or polyutherane brick panels which look very realistic (picture 2). I wanted to put it on the entire cabinet free space on that wall and leave it white or paint it to match my off-white top cabinets. I really don't want to add too much detail/textures in a small space, so perhaps no backsplash would be better? I am planning to paint the walls and the ceiling in the same color as the top cabinets (similar to BM icycle), and also in semi-gloss to make the room appear larger. Appreciate any tips!
