Driftwood cabinets + Taj Mahal Countertops + ?? Backsplash?
Yes, there are so SO many posts about Taj Mahal countertops ans backsplash, but most are white. We have a unique combo and we’re having a difficult time deciding on a backsplash. Maybe we should have bought a third slab and just done the backspash in TM, but we didn’t sooo… What are your ideas? ALSO, what would you do aboit this curve? Backsplash around the left corner to where the counter ends or stop it before the curve? If we go around the curve, it would be hard to lay tile to match it. I was told we should not tile inside the windowsill, right?

last monthlast modified: last monthw the bigger ? better ? island more of a feature [ I think} and pendants ? and stools yet to be installed......[ bringing focus forward away from the wall ] I'd SKIP the backpslash........the angles on the perimeter arent that great for creating value w a tile run. its a perfectly fine perimeter... Id get durable paint that you can wipe as needed [ Paint IS durable now] .....focus on island details / some floor mats/ countertop accessories and forget about tile. Like your space ....Good Luck...

last monthlast modified: last monthAre you planning to tile only those 6 inches where the previous backsplash sat, or do you want to tile up to the bottom of the upper cabinets? Either is fine, but you have a lot of outlets and switches, and tiling around them means you will have to slightly change each one to stand proud of the tile. I also wouldn't tile around your curved corner, I’d stop tiling at the cabinet and just repair the wall in that corner. You clearly want neutrals for the permanent items in your space - you can bring in color in other ways. Do you have any inspiration images you can share?
The tile below is by Fireclay Tile, but there are far less expensive options that would give a similar look. You could consider a handmade look in the Cloe White tile by Bedrosian. If budget allows a beautiful shape, consider that.

last monthLots of photos on Houzz if you search for "stained cabinets with taj mahal" then select "in Photos". Also search "driftwood cabinet with taj mahal".
This forum tends to be conservative, and a bit boring, when it comes to backsplashes. From a few feet away most Taj Mahal is quite boring and just looks beige, so don't be afraid of pattern and/or color, if that is what you like.
