Backsplash

Here are a few examples of backsplashes we like. islandstone.com has several (linear, palms, waveline) in smoke or stratos. For one of the busier styles, we may consider not going the full height of the wall and terminating it with a bead.

islandstone palms, note the much lower contrast than in a previous example.

Not going full height and breaking it up with the stainless steel backsplash for the cooktop helps reduce the busy factor. (islandstone waveline)

islandstone palms smoke. While we like the tile, we feel it is too busy. Perhaps with a less contrasting grout, and breaking it up with a stainless steel backsplash and vent accessories shelf.

www.islandstone.com (glass, linear in frangipani). Really like this one.

Islandstone waveline. Not this color, probably smoke.

Probably too small / busy, but like the general look.

Q

Probably too fine and too much grout. Would like larger tile, but still linear like this.

The inspiration for our current selection and one we really like. Still Darren's favorite.
