So many ideas! Much depends if you want to introduce a new color or if you'd prefer to stay in the same color family (neutral dark) as your other finishes.

For an on-trend but still timeless look, how about glass subway tiles in a cool mint or aqua. Check out these shades

If you like the colors, they're available both in larger subway style or in sheets of smaller glass squares.

Another option is to go with a metallic tile, or even a combination of a neutral, perhaps a black, and a metallic accent. Metallics are big too, and come in a range of finishes and tones.

Give me some thoughts and I can get more specific.

Cheers, Paula

Hello! I would recommend something simple and clean since your granite has a lot of color and movement. A gray glass tile or white subway tile would be nice. See attached images for reference. Hope this helps. Good luck!

what backsplash?

We're with Valduff. Shades of purple and plum can really add depth to a chic scheme like yours. Particularly with your gorgeous counter top. Grey is also a good call, as it will coordinate with your kitchen units but allow room to add coloured accessories. It can depend on the light quality in your room- we always recommend grabbing some tester opts in a range of shades. Paint your walls or A4 sheets, and see what the colours look like as the light changes throughout the day.

I have tiles on one wall by the sink, and mirror in a darker area. I also have wallpaper over the other (non-cooking) side of the kitchen. It's great! Do what works for you.

Hello, Congratulations on your new kitchen, we hope you're enjoying it! We understand that choosing kitchen tiles and backsplash could be confusing, there's so much in the market! You could go with a similar material you've used for the worktop, so it feels and looks continuous. You could also go with a mirrored look to expand the space, visually. We love Kit Kat tiles, they're making a comeback in the market. I'll attach a few images so you can get some ideas!

This gray glass is a good option if the home has a modern vibe. For more traditional, a light gray or ivory subway. Both H-Line and Sonoma Tilemakers offer options in ceramic subway tiles. Walker Zanger has a nice alternative to subway, 6th Avenue Cocoon Mosaic, it is contemporary. Casa dolce Casa Vetro Sfalsato would look nice with its clean lines and is elegant.

I agree - a simple back splash will highlight the gorgeous counters and dark wood. I like a glass or subway tile for your space. Beautiful job!

How about a glass mosaic backsplash? Just don't go too dark because you want to end up with some contrast between your cabinets, granite, and tile.
