Kitchen Marble Backsplash in North Aurora

Renovated kitchen with gray shaker cabinets, white marble-look backsplash, and quartz countertops

About This Project

This kitchen backsplash in a North Aurora ranch home was part of a larger kitchen renovation that included new gray shaker cabinets and quartz countertops. The backsplash uses a white marble-look porcelain tile in a horizontal running bond pattern, which complements the clean lines of the shaker cabinets without competing with the veining in the quartz countertop.

The main technical challenge was the transition from the backsplash tile to the open window above the sink. The tile needed to run up to the window frame cleanly, with a consistent reveal on all sides. We also handled the backsplash behind the range, which runs full height to the underside of the range hood. The home is in a North Aurora neighborhood off Orchard Road, in a ranch-style home where the kitchen had been updated but the backsplash was still the original 1990s material. The wall substrate was in good condition and did not require replacement.
