I am planning on taking the subway tile backsplash up to the ceiling above the window by the kitchen sink which is an 8 ft wall that meets the slant.
Should wall tile be as high as the sinl.
It s the perfect height for a backsplash behind sink luxe looking and easy to wipe down around toilet.
A classic offset or straight set pattern in a standard field size tile works best for this wall height.
The classic design feature is usually between 34 and 54 high with 36 being the average height.
600mm high is usually a good rule of thumb and finishing at the low part of the cabinetry ensures that you maintain the height of the ceiling.
For a truly classic look finish the top with a decorative trim or a bullnosed edge.
My cabinets are the tall 45 cabinets.
The wall of tile you re doing over the sink area will be a nice statement and has a more high end look.
Plus that height kept the very wallpaper we hung above the marble safely away from splashing water.
If your wainscot is tile then it can serve a dual purpose by working as the backsplash behind your sink.
If you have a feature wall with a window and bespoke joinery and you are using a feature tile you may feel that you need to find a suitable cut off point.
I did marble tile to 48 in powder room.
But only if it is high enough.
The main wall of my kitchen is 11 5 ft tall.
