9 years agoI think the countertop is quite nice and deserves to be the 'star'. Something simple is a better long-term choice for your backsplash. One of the things that dates a kitchen quicker than anything is a 'unique' backsplash. I agree with jesse89t....a subway tile with grayish/greige undertones will look stunning. Or go with a creamy white subway tiles since it appears that the undertone in your countertop is not a pure white.
Here's something to get you going on ideas. From a blogger/decorator friend of mine.

Comments (2)I think I answered this once before?................Hi, With the Internet and international shipping, getting samples of a tile you see on Houzz sent to you is a viable option. Then having it matched would be easier. Though. Come to think of it, is international shipping and ordering on line cheaper than custom manufacture? Look into both!...See MoreGreat Kitchen Backsplash design ideas

Comments (8)Hi Rasa, Nice to hear from you and I’m glad I was able to give you some inspiration for your kitchen tiles. I’ve included another image for you to look at that shows more of a farm house style kitchen with the coloured tiles. If you worried the coloured tiles might look too contemporary for your space, I would advise going for quite soft, muted colour tones to give you the same effect but in a more rustic style. You can see in the attached image how they have used a soft sheen, textured tile in neutral tones, with a subtle hint of colour to be in-keeping with that farmhouse feel. For your tile colours, you could pick up the off white tone of your cabinets with the grey in the granite, and a very soft hint of green or blue to add a little colour to achieve the same look for your kitchen. I have also added some paint swatches below you could use as reference for tile colours to help you visualise the combination. Off white: Greys: Blue or Green: Hopefully this answers your questions for you and I’d love to see some pictures when your project is finished. Good luck with the decorating.

9 years agoWould you be willing to do a travertine-like backsplash? Sorry I can't link. I'm a new member on house so I'm sort of just getting used to it haha!

9 years agolast modified: 9 years agoHi fiscomi,
Playing devil's advocate, if you want something to stay with the kitchen's contemporary pulls, and stainless appliances, yet still modern in texture, Glazzio Tiles makes some great glass pieces. Could look awesome with the juxtaposition between the clean lines and old world of maybe the VS421 White Tulip and VS419 Fountain Grey ( http://www.glazziotiles.com/products/VERSAILLES%20SERIES.aspx) intermixed. The "backsplash overload" is certainly understandable, but you seem to have a pretty sharp vision of what YOU want. Good luck!

9 years agoHere is another one that I found. I think with some white grout it would stand out just enough. They do have a couple other colors. Sand, taupe, and light grey. What do you guys think.

9 years agoI do like the texture of it, but by the time that you grout it, the tile will be real busy.. and you already have busy granite. You can keep the texture and even the gradient color of it. I do suggest that you find something you like in a large tile like the 6x16 or even 3x8, remember that even the grout lines tend to act as an extra accent. I posted my back splash tile as a good example of to busy... If you have any random question feel free to email me. I have just completed my 2nd remodel in 2 yrs... I am not an expert, but I do have some good do's and don'ts from experience and picking peoples brains. lldaddow@gmail.com
