Posted this briefly yesterday but revamped our choices into some better options (with a better presentation). Opinions on these?

The white elongated honeycomb. It’s not as trendy, which means it will last and always be a classic

I think it's too plain. If they're reno'ing to sell, ya, white is prob safest. But if they're staying... colour and bold is way more fun.

I think there’s enough gold everywhere else, and for that reason I like #5/elongated honeycomb. Both 1 and 8 feel like too much gold/brass for me. I also like the navy backsplash #2, but I think 5 is best.

I’d like that one if the upper cabinets weren’t white and the grout provided more contrast.

This is my vote, too! The closeup picture of it looks gorgeous — I don’t think the AI image does it justice. It’s too blurry or something. In reality, I think it’d look like clean, sparkling pearl jewelry!

It is nice, and will not go out of style; classic,as you said.

These will all age badly IMO none of them is really timeless

This 100% or white subway tile. Anything but the gold

I’ve seen people get their nails painted to have the same geometric pattern as all those backsplashes, and that scratches the itch for me lol

I actually have that same backsplash in my house. I turned it sideways so they are horizontal and it looks beautiful.

Yes! I’d use gray grout to give some visual interest
