Remodeling your kitchen is exciting and challenging, involving several choices to make the new additions and overall design tie together. One important aesthetic component is matching your backsplash to your kitchen cabinets and countertops. TK Cabinetry Plus in Andover, MN, have many high-quality cabinet and countertop options to choose from, including beautiful granite. Here’s how to match your backsplash to that gorgeous new granite countertop!

How to Choose a Backsplash for Your Granite Countertop

1. Opposites Attract

If you have a light granite, choosing a busier, brighter, more robust backsplash adds great contrast to the overall look. If you have a darker, more eye-catching granite that is the center of attention, choosing a lighter, subtler backsplash will provide a great visual balance.

2. Similar Characteristics 

All granite has personality, so take a closer look at yours and see what other spot colors and patterns you see in the grain. Choose a backsplash tile with some of those shades or shapes in them to tie the look together.

3. Go for Glass

If you want something bolder without a lot of color, choosing glass as your backsplash creates a glossy, clean, and modern look against your granite countertop.

4. Solid Color Pop

If you want to keep things simple, and a busier granite countertop with several veins and colors, choose one solid color in subway tile. Subway tile is one of the most popular choices for backsplashes. It’s less busy, yet stylish and modern. 

5. Granite on Granite

If you don’t like tile or busy designs, using the same granite from your countertop is a great design hack to use for the backsplash. This way, everything flows together seamlessly, and can even create a larger feel to the space with continuous hue and pattern running from the counter up through the wall.
