Either go all the way to the ceiling on the window wall as well. Or do the 4” countertop material for the backsplash there.

I would not do the tile half way up on that wall

I would match the height under the upper cabinets.

I dont have a backsplash behind my sink. The wall is painted. Not an issue.

No backsplash in my kitchen with a simiiar layout either. Just paint.

No problems going on 6 years.

What is your countertop material? Is it plain? I would do up to the sill of the window, straight across. With your counter material.

We are doing an off-white quartz countertop with veining. I like that idea, I just wasn't sure if the veining would be distracting. Thank you!

Thank you so much for those pictures and your advice. I think we could use the quartz backsplash on the window wall only but my cabinet designer suggested taking it all the way around the kitchen which I really don't want to do.

Yes to just the window wall behind the sink. No to doing it on top of the brick!

I second doing it to Sill height with the counter material. It’ll be the most neutral.

^^^^^^

I'm not sure what this means but thanks for your response.

Do the countertop material as a splash on your window wall - just make sure it comes up to the bottom of the window sill - no space between the top of the splash and the window trimmings. Also make sure they mill down the material to 3/4 thick ( or remove sheetrock and recess it )

^^^^ usually means "I think the same as stated above"

It means I seconded Hallet’s comment above.

I agree with Sabrina and Hallet--use the counter top material as a short backsplash.

On another note to the OP, my Mom had the exact same name as you! Not a very common one. Are you in New York?

Thanks for your response. Just another question, should I run the quartz backsplash the full length of the countertop or just the length of the window? That's ironic about your mother's name. No, I'm not from NY but my husband is; his family is from the Hudson Valley area.

How are you going to clean the brick over the stove?..there may be grease…smoke…splashed foods?…in essence raw brick is a rustic material…your kitchen design does not look rustic…🤷🏻‍♀️

You run the sill height backsplash the length of that entire counter into the corner to meet the brick. Note, we are all talking of the height meeting the window sill. Not the window apron, the trim beneath it. You will omit that beneath the sill as unnecessary.

Yes, the length of the counter to the brick.

And brick is a great backsplash behind a stove--I've had it in 2 homes and it's perfectly fine. But I'm a fairly neat cook--most of my cooking is done on the front burners; the back ones are only for simmering.
