Patricia Davis on Sep 29, 2015I see this as too busy for the granite you have chosen. If it had less shapes and colors it would be better. A solid color glass tile or tile back splash would be more interesting .Helpful Reply

Z on Sep 29, 2015It's hard to tell with close ups. Can you take a picture of it against the wall at the back of the counter where it would be placed and get a long shot showing more of your cabinets please? If it's straight on enough, with the sample in place I can do a mock up of it for you.Helpful Reply

Felecia Hernandez on Sep 30, 2015Because of the Iong streaks running through your granite, I would go with a rectangular shaped backsplash instead of the square shape.Good luck !Helpful Reply

Lynn Gronewold on Sep 30, 2015I would use a color closer to pearl white glass tiles with clear shiny tiles running throughoutHelpful Reply

Janet Pizaro on Sep 30, 2015Honestly those tiles are very busy against the granite. I to did a kichen remodel with that style of granite, I choose a tumbled marble and sealed it which brought out the hues of the granite.Helpful Reply

Tracey on Sep 30, 2015I would personally use more of a neutral tile. Larger squares ( like, 4X4) and maye light brown color. Maybe two or three different brown, tan, beige families. With a hint of beige through out to keep things light??Helpful Reply

Barbara Valenti on Sep 30, 2015Boy, these women all have opinions so I'll throw mine out there too. As I see it, your cabinets have a reddish color I guess.i might learn towards something with that color in it also. Not alot just enough to pick it up. I always look at it like this: Would you wear that as a matching outfit if it were one? Like a shirt, a belt, some slacks and shoes. Guess you think I am nuts, but I am an astute dresser. Proud, even got best dressed in highschool. So before I get carried away, just think about the colors. Not unless you are going to paint the cabinets which are a big color in your Kitchen. It all needs to compliment each other. Or else just pop a strange color in there if you are artsy? Hope you can understand all this.Helpful Reply

Melanie on Sep 30, 2015I personally think it's too busy looking. Too many different patterns and colours. I would chose something a bit more neutral or if you really want varying colours perhaps am ombre effect? Good luckHelpful Reply

Jean Myles on Sep 30, 2015I also think it is too busy and I don't have any suggestion of what would be better. I am also in the middle of the long process of choosing a backsplash. I know how hard it is . Good LuckHelpful Reply

Elaine Simmons on Sep 30, 2015I think it looks kind of busy too but if you are set on one of the two, I would go with the first one.Helpful Reply

LD on Sep 30, 2015I think its to busy. I would look for a solid color glass tile, which would give you more light reflection under the cabinets.Helpful Reply

Kathleen Conery on Sep 30, 2015Well, I'll admit it... I like it! But that's me. If you felt you needed to ask, then I suspect you are feeling it's too busy for you. And you are the one it needs to please!Helpful Reply

Robin Robinson Stamm on Oct 01, 2015Too busy for my eye. Tile is a good idea, but go with one color. A "rustic" ivory tile (think Tuscany) would look great.Helpful Reply

Joanne Hayes Healy on Oct 01, 2015I love it. and I think it would look fabulous. I have gone with something similar and while I was anxious before it was installed, once up I receive compliments all the time. It brightens everything up.Helpful Reply

Nancee on Oct 02, 2015It's very nice but maybe too busy with all the veining. A backsplash with just one or two colors would look very nice. The cabinets and countertops look high end so find something classic.Helpful Reply

Janet Pizaro on Oct 02, 2015I choose 4x4 tiles.Honestly they are not to white at all. I just used a natural grout and like I said previously we sealed them to bring out just enough color against the rest of the kitchen.Helpful Reply

Elisa on Oct 02, 2015Decisions, decisions! Thanks for everyone's input. I'm still considering options so I may come back with one or two more. I may wait until the under cabinet task lighting is installed so that I can see it with that. What a great forum!Helpful Reply

Barbara Valenti on Oct 03, 2015I have had fun just looking at it. Thanks for allowing us to participate in your decisions. Sorry its not resolved, but its better than making an expensive mistake. There are so many options in today's world its hard to decide on a tube of lipstick! Thanks again and good luck!Helpful Reply

Lizzy L on Oct 04, 2015If the dark tiles could be taken out of the mosaic, it would work. Since you can't do that, go with a simpler one-color backsplash.Helpful Reply

Elisa on Oct 04, 2015The darker tones are metallic tiles that vary depending on the angle and lighting. The pictures don't do them justice, but it is precisely the chance that they may look to dark that is holding me up. So I am going to wait until the task lighting is completed. Thanks everyone.Helpful Reply

Denise Boyce on Oct 04, 2015It'sway too busy and really doesn't go with the cabinets. It's the top and bottom bull nose which really throws me off.Helpful Reply
