Trying to Decide

I am trying to decide what I want for the backsplash in the kitchen, on the wall with the cooktop.  
This is my initial idea, using the liner and insert seen at the botton of the picture.  It would be in the oil-rubbed bronze color.  The main field tile would be 6x6, neutral color.  4x4 of the same tile, laid on the diagonal will go inside the box, with 2x2 dots.
The inspiration comes from some photo's like this:

 But with a border that's not quite so heavy... more like this.


This is the second option that I am liking.  It would be 6x6 tiles laid straight as the main field tile with 3 big 6x6 metal deco's in the middle.  Then, along the bottom would be 4x4 tiles laid on the diagonal with a metal liner above.

This is the closest picture I could find on the internet to what I am going for, but the tiles aren't exactly the same sizes.


Which do you like the best? I just can't decide.

  1. I like the first one much better. It looks more like a piece of art. The second one is just a little too plain. There's so little room in kitchens for art-work, I would take advantage of the tile design.

  2. They both look good but I agree with your first choice.
