If your bathroom design budget can support it, adding a stylish granite countertop backsplash in your bathroom will give you the professional, high-end look you see in magazines and movies. Nothing says luxury like rare, polished, natural stone. However, there is one important tip you should not overlook. According to HGTV.com, a backsplash should not be a separate element. Instead, you should integrate it into your design so that you attain a cohesive look by repeating tile shapes or colors used in the bathroom. Extended Backsplash and Mirror Your bathroom's countertop backsplash doesn't have to stop at the traditional short height. With this look, you can use small square granite tiles to extend up towards or even to your ceiling and wrap around a mirror. You can select varying shades of granite for a natural earthy feel that still has a modern edge. Or, you can select square and rectangular granite tiles that vary in size to create the old world charm of a beautiful parquet floor. As for your grout color, you want to select a color that does not detract from the beauty of your granite. And if you want an additional bit of drama, tile your counter top in the same style as your backsplash so that it becomes one large continuous design that completely surrounds your sink and mirror. Decorative Tile This design idea requires you to select a complimentary decorative tile that you use as a border tile along with your granite for your backsplash. For example, select a narrow rope tile that you use at the top of your granite countertop backsplash. Or, you might prefer using a metallic looking fleur de lis tile that you replace every fifth plain granite tile with as you install your bathroom countertop backsplash. Another option is to select a decorative tile with a medallion that you place in key focal points. There are many options for selecting your tiles, so if you do not find what you want locally, search the Internet. Some sites include: datile.com, marazzitile.com, and 360flooring.com. Framed Wall Mounted Faucet and Backsplash Extending your granite backsplash so that it frames your wall-mounted faucet is a gorgeous look. However, if your plumbing is not wall-mounted, consult a plumber, as this can often be changed to fit your design needs. You can use large pieces of the same colored granite for a sleek modern look or you can create a mosaic mural or border by using smaller tiles to establish a pattern. You also need to pay close attention to the type of faucet you select to ensure it compliments your granite and design. This design idea can give your powder bathroom or a guest bathroom that elegant look you see at beautiful spas or high-end, boutique hotels. Finally, let me have a short conclusion.
