Backsplashes -- tile all the way down to countertop or not?

[Anonymous]

Other than aesthetics/personal choice, is there a reason to extend our countertop choice up the back wall 3-4 inches (the typical countertop backsplash)? We are creating a butler's pantry and are considering having our tile run all the way down to main countertop (thus be the only thing on the wall). There will be NO major appliances in this area but there will be a small sink. The countertop isn't dramatic, but the tile choice is and it will definitely make more of an impression if we don't continue the countertop up. We are using glass tile on the wall. Thoughts? Thanks!

If you're putting a tile backsplash on the wall, you typically wouldn't put the 3-4" counter-matching backsplash along the wall.

Agreed. Either backsplash or 3-4" of counter on the wall but not both.
