Hi,

We are putting a tile backsplash in our new kitchen and need some help figuring out if to use an edge trim and what type.

We're using 12x24 porcelain tiles and ideally are hoping we can do without an edge trim. There is no corresponding bullnose or edge trim that is sold by the manufacturer. A lot of people here suggest using Schluter jolly profile edge trim. While we do have a lot of stainless steel in the kitchen appliances, we want to keep the tile look clean. What do you all suggest? Do we need to use a trim? Can we caulk and leave it as is or will that look messy? If we do use a trim, what would you suggest? and do we need it on all the edges (both the red and green lines or can we just do the red lines)?

There are a few images below:

1. the original kitchen without a backsplash

2. gray area where we are planning to put the backsplash tiles

3. red and green lines where we might want to put the edge trim.

4. the tiles we are planning on using 12x24

Thanks a lot for your help!
