Backsplash for Azul Celeste Granite

Azul Celeste granite already brings a calm blue-gray tone into the kitchen, so the backsplash you choose should work into that flow without pulling too much attention away. Tile gives the perfect chance to highlight the stone in a way that feels natural; marble mosaics in cool whites or soft grays will balance the impactful design and keep the rest of the space light. If you want to go bold, darker limestone or marble tiles can create a high-contrast look that pairs well with the granite’s veining. You can also think about porcelain or glass subway tiles, which are the perfect spot to use a neutral-colored finish that extends above the counters, brighten the design and pair seamlessly with the granite, and give your kitchen a modern take that can stand the test of time. Travertine or dolomite tiles are another great example of how you can make the space feel a bit more lived-in while tying into the warmth of cabinetry. This is a great way to create interest without overwhelming the granite, letting you move into a finished design that pulls together the rest of the kitchen.
