I don't like that glass mosaic- it just looks kind of low rent to me. In the right colours it could look ok in a beach house or something small where the noisy colours wouldn't be so offputting.

I like the look of the glass backsplash, but I have this weird thing I do accidently where sometimes I drop/throw stuff when I feel it falling and go to save it, and I could see myself cracking the glass which would suck.


I have stone for now. I wanted to give my kitchen a small face lift until we gut it and redo the cupboards and counter tops. So we replaced the yucky tile with stone.
Kinda like this.

It is masculine and heavy though. I'd love a light airy kitchen. One day.

People, you won't get a consensus on any backsplash. Unless you are remodeling to sell your house in a few years, get the backsplash you like. Who the F cares what others think.

If you're just looking for opinions, fine. But, expect at least one person to not like your backsplash. ^ I hate that backsplash. Too dark and hard to clean.

I like tuscan backsplash tiles, not the whole kitchen.

NP. I think this is pretty, but be careful that the area doesn't look too "busy" to the eyes. For example, I installed similar travertine tiles but I worry that the whole effect is too busy.

Hate Tuscan. Seriously hate more than anything. If I were househunting, that kitchen (even if it cost $100k) would be as much of a turn off to me as a kitchen that hadn't been updated since 1970. I would see both as needed a full gut.

Wow. I love those!


I don't. Looks "cold". I like a warm, inviting looking kitchen.


Too much glare for me.

But you would still get it a little wet, and you can't clean those little holes, which isn't a good combination. I think it would get yucky pretty fast.
