BACKSPLASH
SGDI - Sarah Gallop Design Inc. Email Save 5 You can also use the same or similar countertop material for your backsplash but break it up by selecting a tile format for your backsplash rather than a slab. This can be a budget-friendlier option than purchasing extra slabs to create a backsplash. Work with a tile and countertop expert to make this happen Shown: Get the look with a Carrara marble counter or, for a more durable option, check out Misty Carrera from Caesarstone; Carrara marble subway tile backsplash
Mirrored Glass A mirrored glass backsplash suits all styles of kitchen, often adding a contemporary twist to a more traditional look. Its reflective surface bounces light around, making the space feel bright and often larger than it really is. “If you want mirrored backsplash in your kitchen, then general safety regulations dictate that you must have toughened or tempered glass,” Hendrick says. Pros: Toughened so it’s strong and durable, mirrored glass is also easy to clean. And because panels are available in lengths up to around 10 feet (3 meters), it’s possible to create a seamless look. Love the “mirrored” look? Cons: Mirror can’t be used behind a gas range, because continuous expansion and contraction of tempered glass created by an open flame can, over time, cause visible cracks to form behind the glass, Hendrick says. “Although easy to clean, mirrored glass needs a regular polish, because marks show up easily,” he adds.
Hart-Woods Email Save 3 Engineered Stone Also referred to as quartz composite, engineered stone is made of crushed quartz mixed with resin. “Look out for leading brands, such as Silestone and Caesarstone, that make their engineered stone using the lowest percentage of resin,” advises Andrew Macintosh of Andrew Macintosh Kitchens. High-performing engineered stones are heat and scratch resistant as well as extremely tough. To keep costs under control, Macintosh suggests teaming an engineered stone backsplash with matching countertops. “If you do this, the templating and fitting charges are much lower than using a different material and supplier,” he says. Pros: Engineered stone is durable, scratch resistant and nonporous, meaning it won’t stain. It’s easily cleaned with warm, soapy water and comes in a wide range of different colors to suit all tastes. It’s supplied in large panels, resulting in fewer or no seams on a larger wall run. Cons: Installation of an engineered stone backsplash must be done by a specialist. “It is certainly not a DIY job,” Macintosh says.

The backsplash: Mayden designed the slate backsplash to cover the rest of the wall and draw attention to the window as the focal point. “Since we didn’t have upper cabinets where the backsplash usually stops, I didn’t want to see a line where the tile just randomly ended,” she says. “Plus, finishing the wall this way makes a grander statement.
What is the name/brand of the blue paint ? Thanks! Like 1 Comment PRO Amitzi Architects It's painted glass. Your glass guy will know best which brand of paint to use.
Backsplashes are lovely in watery blue. There are several ways to achieve the look. One is with large-format field tile, as shown here. Another is with shimmering blue mosaic tiles (typically sheet-mounted for easy installation). My favorite employs a solid sheet of colored glass. (It's also the easiest to maintain and the most contemporary.) If there isn't an installer in your area who can do this, or if the cost is out of reach, the large-format tile will achieve a very comparable look. Watery blue pairs beautifully with the black, white and stainless in this kitchen, but could also work with cinnamon spice cherry, walnut or even natural maple cabinets
If you prefer your sparkling backsplash sans grout lines, which can be a real chore to clean and maintain, go for a blue back-painted-glass backsplash instead. Backsplash: Back-painted glass. For a similar paint color, check out Mexicali Turquoise from Benjamin Moore.
For those looking for a soft and serene shade of blue, here’s another nice option from Walker Zanger; it’s available in a variety of sizes and formats. Backsplash: 1- by 4-inch Roku straight-set mosaic glass tile in Rain from Walker Zanger

The backsplash appears to be stainless steel tile. I'm pretty sure the manufacturer is Alloyed Decor. It looks like their 3x6 subway tile. Their website is www.alloyeddecor.com.
