Spark your Joy... Top 10 Q&A on modern kitchen backsplash style

Décor is the biggest question I get asked about on backsplashes… My clients want to know what backsplash will go with taj mahal quartzite? or what backsplash goes with brown granite?  It’s so hard to answer these open-ended questions because it depends on your décor and style.  But just as my clients our getting out of their comfort zone, I am getting out of mine too… So, I will be answering these open-ended questions.  Let’s Begin part two series of backsplashes….   

DECOR QUESTIONS  

What backsplash goes with taj mahal quartzite?

I would do a simple backsplash in white/cream matte or continue with the taj mahal quartzite for the backsplash.  Here is a great explanation why in the video below…  

What backsplash goes with brown granite?

Wow… This is a true test 😊.  It will depend on the color of your brown granite and if there is movement or large veining in it.  Your brown’s can vary from pinkish, coral, or orange undertones.  Also, if your countertop has a lot of movement in it, your tile backsplash will need to be simple otherwise it will be clashing.  If you are completely lost, maybe a Discovery Call can relieve your stress.     

What backsplash goes with calacatta quartz?

Use a simple subway tile in low sheen or matte white or continue with the Calacatta Quartz for your backsplash.  I went with the subway tile again because it’s a classic.  It’s the LBD (little black dress) of the tile industry.  It will not go out of style.  I also selected this tile again because I love playing with shapes.  The organic movement of the calacatta with the straightness and rectangular shape of the subway tile. 

What backsplash is out of style?

I don’t think any tile is out of style.  It all depends on your décor and how you style it.  Look at the retro refrigerators & stoves back in the 50’s.  My parents (who are 90 & 74) never thought they would be back in style again.  Well, they are now, big time.  This trend started back in 2016 and is moving upward.  I don’t see this going away.     

What backsplash goes with blue dunes granite?

This granite is stunning. Please check out the video below on the explanation

What backsplash goes with white quartz countertop?

This would depend on your décor style.  Being that it’s white and depending on the quartz you selected, it could have some movement or a little to no movement. Maybe you know it doesn’t have any movement and you are just overburdened with options.  Just keep it simple.  Start looking through Pinterest or Houzz and check out backsplashes.  What do you like? Or better yet, what don’t you like?  Sometimes that question is easier to answer. If you are still doubting your ability, let’s setup a Discovery Call.  Let’s co-create & collaborate together. 

Will a marble backsplash stain?

Yes, a marble backsplash will stain.  You will have to do maintenance on your marble backsplash due to it being porous.  To prevent staining, I would recommend cleaning up the stains/spills right away with soapy warm water. 

Is a backsplash outdated?

No… I believe nothing is outdated when it comes to protecting your kitchen walls.  You will just need to consider the elements in your space when selecting a kitchen backsplash; like your countertop, cabinetry, flooring, lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, etc.…  

What backsplash goes with carrara marble countertop?

There are many possibilities to go with your carrara marble countertop, so it will depend on your décor style and the tile itself.  I put together concept boards for the Farmhouse Revolution décor style & Modern décor style.  Again, many other factors will come into play when selecting your backsplash; your countertop, the cabinetry, the cabinetry hardware, the plumbing fixtures, lighting fixtures, and flooring just to name a few….
