Help me figure out this backsplash.

Hello,

New to the forums and loving it.

In the planning stages of our new kitchen, going to go with Akurum Liljestad with a Magellan Green counter.

Attached is a picture of the kitchen at my "local" (150mi away) Ikea, I'm looking to identify the backsplash, as the store lost the information.

All they knew is that it's DAL tile, but I looked on their website and could not find this exact model.

Also, has anyone put in a trash compactor in an Ikea kitchen?

Once I figure out the plan a little more, I will post it for everyone to scrutinize. This is a bit overwhelming, LOL .

Thanks in advance.

Re: Help me figure out this backsplash.

From the close-up photo, it looks like it could be this (scroll down to Autumn Mist):

Daltile - Tumbled Natural Stone Natural Stone Tile

There's going to be some variation in the color since it's natural stone. Plus, if they added a sealer, it could change the depth of the colors.

Re: Help me figure out this backsplash.

Thanks so much, it looks close, I went through all those pages of tiles and totally missed this one!

Now to find a local store to go check it out.

It was just weird having them at Ikea tell me they had no clue what the backsplash is on one of their displays...

Re: Help me figure out this backsplash.

Hi! Yes, I think you can have a trash compacter with an IKEA kitchen, you could even figure out an integrated door for it like many do with the dishwasher, provided you choose the right doorstyle. If you buy one that's not an integrated door, no issues, you just leave space for it, again, just like a dishwasher.

Re: Help me figure out this backsplash.

I'm not sure, but I think I've seen that same tile at my local lowe's or home depot.

similar to this? Unbranded at Lowe's: 2" x 2" x 12" Autumn Slate Sheet

Maybe I saw it in their special order section. Anyway, it looks very familiar, but I always get in a bit of a fog looking at things like tile. Hope you find it, and by the way, that kitchen is very pretty!

Re: Help me figure out this backsplash.

If you scroll down on the daltile link, I think it looks more like the one "copper."

Re: Help me figure out this backsplash.

gleamingeye, I was looking at that one, too, but I thought it looked too dark at first glance. I was going to suggest ordering samples from Daltile, as we just did, but apparently they don't offer samples on their natural stone. I'd check out Home Depot or Lowe's because I know they both carry Daltile products. Also try a tile dealer in the area. If you have a Floor and Decor Outlet nearby, they have bunches of tumbled stone.

Re: Help me figure out this backsplash.

Thanks again, went to lowes and home depot, those autumn slate look pretty close to the real deal @ lowes.

Going to check out a local DAL tile dealer this week and make my choice since the Ikea kitchen promotion is coming soon and I need to be ready
