Help Me Decide on a Backsplash for My Modern Kitchen!
These are not that modern to me, and not particularly clean either. Herringbone and hexagon are busy patterns. I would for sure lean into something more clearly modern. Think about fluted tile in a bold color: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ivy-Hill-Tile-Montgomery-Ribbon-Black-24-in-x-48-in-Matte-Porcelain-Floor-and-Wall-Tile-15-49-sq-ft-Case-EXT3RD107413/319614755 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ivy-Hill-Tile-Mawr-Green-5-9-in-x-11-81-in-Polished-Fluted-Ceramic-Wall-Tile-9-68-Sq-Ft-Case-EXT3RD109385/327635250 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ivy-Hill-Tile-Linear-Denim-Blue-11-41-in-x-35-37-in-Matte-Ceramic-Wall-Tile-14-42-sq-ft-Case-EXT3RD108220/322320310 or look for a real modern pattern https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ivy-Hill-Tile-Astoria-Black-and-White-24-in-x-24-in-Matte-Porcelain-Floor-and-Wall-Tile-4-Pieces-15-49-sq-ft-Case-EXT3RD104868/313761250 https://www.homedepot.com/p/ANDOVA-Maquette-Flint-White-Gray-12-5-8-x-12-5-8-Diamond-Pattern-Matte-Natural-Stone-Mosaic-Wall-Tile-5-05-sq-ft-Case-ANDMAQ187/323760413 More on reddit.com

Need Help Choosing the Perfect Kitchen Backsplash Tile – Suggestions Welcome!
I think you are on the right track. You do have more glossy choices that you like, not a bad thing but matte might work better. I choose and plan tile with look but also details in how it will be set. Edge finishes if exposed is huge because schluter on an organic look isn’t ideal. I also plan my heights and design to see where cuts will be and maximize flow. Sometimes sizing is super important from that aspect. I would say lean into what you love and the first few work better than the last few. Next I would be looking at flooring and hardware/lighting to make it all work together. I build from the bottom up…flooring, cabinets, counters, backsplash, lighting, hardware then paint and grout. If you want a more organic aesthetic then I love the square, but if you want a little sleeker modern organic then the subway, but again it is primarily about the layout. Also be aware how warm your stone is - hoping your floor choice helps to balance that as it is a very bold statement in your space! I love that you are leaning into it. So many rip it out and I love to embrace natural stone. More on reddit.com

Backsplash quote $1500 for 31 sq ft reasonable?
Seems legit. Mosaic is more expensive than typical subway. Frankly my labor would be a little more More on reddit.com

I got bids from tile setters to do a backsplash for $2000. I ended up doing it myself for under $200.

With the amount of tile used I’d have assumed more than $200 but that’s awesome. I love high impact low cost home renos. I redid my bathroom and spent maybe $1200. When my house got appraised the fact I had a “newly remodeled” bathroom really helped.

What types of finishes are available for Ceramic Tile?
Ceramic Tile comes in various finishes. Glossy tiles are bright and reflective, but the slippery nature may not be suitable for wet areas like bathrooms. Matte surfaces have low reflection, and their anti-skid property makes them safe to use on floors. Iridescent tiles give a holographic impression and add an interesting decorative touch. Within Ceramic Tile, we carry popular finishes such as Matte, Glossy, and Polished.

Can you put tile on the floor and the wall?
While there is no visible difference in the appearance of a floor or wall tile that can distinguish the two, the friction level will let you know if a tile is suitable for floor application. Tile COF, which is a friction rating, ranges from 0.3 to 0.6. Tiles with COF of 0.5 or 0.6 are recommended for the floor, but can be applied on walls as well. Within Tile, we carry 1,322 backsplash tiles, 1,319 wall tiles, and 810 tiles for your floor.

Hi everyone,

I’m in the middle of a kitchen renovation (photo attached), and I’ve picked a few backsplash options from Home Depot, but now I’m second-guessing myself. My kitchen features SINARP wood cabinetswhite quartz countertops with extra white veinsgray LVP tile floorsstainless steel appliances, and black matte handles for the cabinets. I’m aiming for a clean, modern, and slightly elegant look, but I’m worried my backsplash choices might not be bold enough.

Here are my current options:

  1. Daltile Lamora Marble Gilded White Hexagon Tile

  2. MSI Angora Subway 2x6 Polished Marble Tile

  3. MSI Angora Herringbone Marble Tile

I’m considering whether I should keep things simple like white subway tiles, lean into bolder options, like black, metallic, or geometric tiles, for a more striking, modern effect. Or, should I stick with neutral tones that are timeless and versatile?

Would love to hear your thoughts and advice—especially if you have suggestions for other options or layouts!

Hi everyone! I’m in the process of selecting tiles for my kitchen backsplash and would love your input. I’m aiming for an Organic Modern vibe and have narrowed it down to a few options, but I’m open to other suggestions.

A bit about my kitchen:

•	I live in a desert climate with over 300 days of sunshine, so I’m cautious about choosing tiles that are too shiny, glossy, or brightly colored, as I don’t want the kitchen to feel washed out.
•	The main focal point of my home is a red and orange rock fireplace and staircase, and I want the kitchen to complement that.
•	I’m looking for a timeless design that won’t feel outdated in 10-15 years.
•	I’ll be replacing the flooring soon, so please ignore the current flooring in the photos. (Also pls ignore the mess!!!)

I’ve fallen in love with the Amagansett tile by Ivy Hill in Sand Dune Cream, but I’m torn between the 2”x8” subway and the 4”x4” square versions. I’m also considering other options and have six samples in total:

1.	[Amagansett 2”x8” Mixed Finish Ceramic Subway Wall Tile (Sand Dune Cream)](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ivy-Hill-Tile-Amagansett-Sand-Dune-Cream-2-in-x-8-in-Mixed-Finish-Ceramic-Subway-Wall-Tile-5-38-sq-ft-case-EXT3RD101872/306804562)
2.	[Amagansett 4”x4” Mixed Finish Ceramic Subway Wall Tile (Sand Dune Cream)](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ivy-Hill-Tile-Amagansett-Sand-Dune-Cream-4-in-x-4-in-Mixed-Finish-Ceramic-Wall-Tile-5-38-sq-ft-case-EXT3RD101873/306804563)
3.	[WOW Cottage 2.7”x5.5” Porcelain Tile (White)](https://architessa.com/products/wow-cottage)
4.	[Marza 4”x12” Glossy Ceramic Subway Wall Tile (Pearl)](https://www.wayfair.com/home-improvement/pdp/msi-marza-4-x-12-glossy-ceramic-subway-wall-tile-mvp12071.html)
5.	[Cloe 2.5”x8” Ceramic Tile (White)](https://www.wayfair.com/home-improvement/pdp/bedrosians-cloe-25-x-8-ceramic-tile-bedr3793.html)
6.	[Cloe 2.5”x8” Ceramic Tile (Creme)](https://www.wayfair.com/home-improvement/pdp/bedrosians-cloe-25-x-8-ceramic-tile-bedr3793.html)

I’m including photos of each tile option. Your suggestions on whether to go with the rectangular or square Amagansett, or any of the other options, would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have any other tile recommendations that fit the vibe I’m going for, please let me know!

Thank you in advance for your help!
