Backsplash hell.

my husband and I have compromised on our open concept home. It was a complete gut. He likes more rustic and wants to do the backsplash in the kitchen like the pallet wall in the dining room (picture was before it was completed) to tie it together. I'm really hesitant bc I went more modern in the kitchen. What backsplash would you all recommend to blend the two or not make the kitchen look hideous!!!??? Thank you in advance so much for your help!!!

    Great kitchen!

    We painted the backsplash wall - no tile, no beadboard. You can maybe take a color from the rustic wall and paint.

    OR - take a color from the rustic wall and find a pretty tile of that color and go monochromatic.

    I'm in agreement with you -a pallet backsplash is not a good idea. It will not only look bad (too much pattern for such a small space) but it won't be functional either. A backsplash is to protect the wall from splashes and be easily wipeable --rough wood would not enable you to do that.

    Have you considered matching the backsplash to emulate the pattern of the pallet wall but with a different material? Something similar to this:

    yes!! That's more of what I was thinking. What color pallet though? he really wants to pull in the pallet colors. Too many browns next to the black counter I feel

    How about a barnwood subway tile? We can do as little or as much embedded white/light as you like :)

    I would pull the color from the cream and grey pallets. Maybe one of these (or something similar cause I can't find the exact color combo I'm thinking of on Houzz):

    (Make sure there's not too much contrast between the white and grey tile. The dark grey tile should be a lighter grey tone for subtlety, unlike the last option I posted.)

    Why not do the wood look porcelain tile for a backsplash it gives the illusion of wood but cleans easily you really need very little backsplash

    There's always a stacked stone approach which may compliment the wood without adding yet another wood look-alike.

    We are in the midst of kitchen Reno hell ourselves, and while I know marble isn't particularly rustic or modern, it is classic and timeless.

    Our kitchen cabinet colors are nearly identical so I'm attaching a photo of our materials (it's in progress, as you can see).

    If anything, this may just give you a better feeling about what you can give a definitive "no" to and feel confident about what you do opt for!

    Good luck!

    Our barnwood subway tile is hand finished with 2 coats of Vermont PolyWhey, a milk based Poly sealant. Almost no odor and water resistant. This is the same finish we use on most of our floors, which certainly are exposed to water and much more.

    Each tile is also milled with shiplap joinery, further protecting the wall behind it from water exposure :)

    I would be happy to send you some samples so you can see how it might look. Just email me with an address where you would like them shipped. Steve@historicflooring.com or Stacey@historicflooring.com

    I would do a marble subway, they have some marbles that have more variation and I think that would be stunning!

    NEVER do stacked stone for a backsplash it is impossible to clean if you get spaghetti sauce on it and no wood either think about cleaning whenever you are choosing materials for kitchen and for sure for backsplash

    I have to disagree with most of the suggestions. I think the backsplash should be suited to elements in the kitchen rather than elements in a nearby room. I like the marble suggestion or glass or subway, but nothing rustic. To me the style of the cabinets and the type of lighting are traditional or even glam, nothing at all like barnboard.

    Greater love hath no woman...than one who agrees to a barnboard wall.

    we went with a subway tile from Lowe's! It was so cost effective and has some texture look! I love it!
