It seems like you really want a bold pattern. I see you're exploring different shapes of tile, but have you also looked at bold patterns with tone-on-tone color or something more monochromatic?

Here are some examples, plus more fun shapes.

Any updates OP?

You could also think about stenciling in a shaped pattern or even wallpaper. Might be easier to clean too!

I saw a house listing in my area with a backsplash that made me think of this thread... it was something like this. Simple, clean, but a little different.

So after almost month of not even thinking about this, we finally looked at all of our tiles samples this weekend, plus a couple new ones from my designer and I *think* DH and I have decided on this tile: www.tilebar.com/byzantine-bianco-3d-ceramic-tile.html?

It's a mix of plain white subway, with the 3D piece to make the design.

The runner up was this tile: www.artistictile.com/products/melange-azul-cmelazmpk


But when we got the samples in, it was actually really drab. The finish is matte and the colors were nowhere near as bright or varied as they looked online--and we had a dozen of the tiles because we wanted to see a good example of the variation.

So I think we're just going to stick with white, but with kind of a cool pattern. The more I look at it, the more I like it. Every other tile we've considered has been the opposite, lol.

Here is another kitchen with the tile: www.etchedinteriors.com/sinlea-residence/d5evcz3nopxs27j3vio485bfgt531j

What do you all think?

I really, really like that white tile. It's lovely.

[darby]

I think that’s really pretty!

I really like the white. The dimension keeps it from being plain.

I like this one!  It's like a more modern version of arabesque tile which I also really like.  I would try to match the grout to the tile as much as possible, though, so you don't have prominent grout lines competing with the curvy texture.

I LOVE IT!

Nice pick! It's unique and cool, but in a way that I think will be pleasing to others.
