Need backsplash ideas please!
I am having a hard time deciding on a backsplash for my kitchen. Some have suggested travertine tile; however, some of the travertine tiles I've seen remind me of an outdated or old kitchen. Some Mosaics may look too much with this granite too? I'm at a loss. Please help!

Need help with ideas for re-modelling our Kitchen
Comments (3)@magspag Thanx for the advice. We wanted to save some cost by not replacing the floor tiles, as well as save by retaining the upper cabinet in its current grey shade. Guess we will go for all-black for the cabinets: both below and above the counter; and put in a new counter-top that contrasts--maybe, a light coloured granite or slate. Examples for this color-scheme are in the ideabook...See MoreNeed help with my backsplash
Comments (7)Yes they do have similar styles in porcelain, but to me it doesn't look the same. Search around that site and see if any of the other tile designs in other materials strike your fancy. I know you said you don't like the subway, but you could get a glass tile in a 2X8 and lay it in a herringbone or find shorter ones and do a chevron. Don't know if you care for mosaics, or penny rounds, those would also look nice. You are going to have to narrow it down to a look you are drawn to, and then go from there. Search kitchen backsplashes on here to get some ideas as well....See MoreBacksplash help White Kitchen
Comments (13)If you love the marble tile, go for it! You can always buy a stainless or white range hood backsplash like this http://www.wayfair.com/Air-King-Range-Hood-Back-Splash-SP2430-AXK1174.html to slip in place when you are cooking something really messy. I have a travertine backsplash and use a stainless sheet when frying. It works great and no worries about stains ruining the stone....See Moreneed kitchen ideas
Comments (15)Hello there, Your kitchen is aligned perfectly and don't need to do anything huge to transform the place. Few tweaks suggested : 1. Restore ambient illumination levels with recessed lighting. 2. Stencil paint a geometric pattern on the ceiling 3. Profile lighting under top units for task lighting 4. White backsplash to be painted in a pattern of bold colors. 5. Paste small white wooden/laminate strips on top cabinets in a chevron pattern to enhance aesthetics.

8 years agoThe 3 x 6 usually fits the best imo. Like this one I did in the picture . I like staggered but You can also run it herringbone which is popular choice.

8 years agoyeah, I'd stay away from the marble herringbone, as I think it would feel too busy with your counters. but a simple subway tile in white (given your white appliances) could be run in herringbone for a little subtle interest.

8 years agoI am working on the same type of decision. You are right to keep it simple. With movement in the cabinets (because of the grain) and movement in the countertop, the backsplash needs to be simple or there will be too much movement. I am looking at a white or cream subway tile. I will wait till the counters go in to make a final decision. You can get both white and cream subway tile at a home center store, very inexpensive, and put together your own sample boards to see which goes best. I have similar white trim and wall color. (pics in my idea book) I am concerned the white will be too much contrast for me, but not sure about the cream either. Both match my sample countertop. Since my countertops are not in yet I am still deciding. I may do something with a little bit of color over the stove.
I am thinking of something like this:
