"We have been in our condo for 5 years. We had lots of momentum on minor remodeling when we moved it, but we have settled into how things are. One area that we never got to was putting up a backsplash. We have filled our house with midcentury modern-adjacent furniture with a mostly minimal aesthetic, with allowances where need be. But we haven't yet done anything in the kitchen, sticking with the cabinets and appliances that we received."
"Looking at the space here, we are probably going to have to extend the tiles from the left (where the fridge is), wrapping around the corner (which has some inconsistent measurements) to end over the stove on the right. But while we have done more minimalist updates to the majority of the house, my wife has been looking for more retro, subway tile-type looks for a backsplash."
The condo features midcentury modern-adjacent furniture and a mostly minimal aesthetic, but the kitchen still has original cabinets and appliances and no backsplash. The backsplash will likely need to span a large wraparound area from the fridge side, around an inconsistently measured corner, to above the stove. One partner prefers retro subway-tile looks while the other favors a more modern, minimal approach that aligns with the rest of the home. The suggested practical step is to use visualization tools such as Tile Bar’s AI preview to test tile shape, tile color, grout color, and grout-line size together.
