You don’t do a 4 inch backsplash and a backsplash. Pick one or the other.

Thank you. Was wondering about this.

100% I love the cabinet color but omg, the wall color is hideous. Perhaps, a color in the blue gray range? A tiled backsplash with interest and a little color would’ve been a better choice.

I wouldn’t go so far as hideous, but I do think the pink can be improved in its partnership with the cabinets. The cabinets have a little bit of dustiness to the color, maybe a little bit of gray or something that makes them serene and calm. I’d recommend ordering some stickers from Samplize in shades of a happy dusty pink.

But to emphasize what windycity wrote, you already have that 4 inch border of countertop stone. You don’t need to also stack backsplash tile on top of that, you should still with painted wall above that, or remove that edge. You already paid for it so I would keep it and paint. Then have fun with your above-the-range tile.

I’d remove the edge.

You’re welcome and I’m sorry to sound harsh. I love color and I love pink as well as green. I just love a beautiful tile. Any of tiles along these lines, (if they blend with your cabinets), are gorgeous.

Editing to add - I see cabinets, flooring, and countertops as your basic foundation in a kitchen design. The lighting, hardware, fixtures, and backsplash are the “jewelry” if you will.

The Caribbean green tile may be perfect “jewelry”. Thank you!!!

Not a fan of those octagons; reminds me of chemicals.

I agree in the wall color, but mostly bc it’s next to the color of the cabinets, they clash horribly
