How to End a Backsplash on an Open Wall: 9 Smart Ways 

Ending a backsplash on an open wall is difficult, but there are several ways to appear professional. Here are nine smart methods:  

A smooth, rounded edge on bullnose tiles gives a crisp backsplash-wall transition. This strategy is prevalent in classic kitchens and bathrooms.

Finish with a Bullnose Edge 

 1

A Schluter strip or metal edge trim finishes the backsplash sleekly and modernly. These stainless steel, brass, and black trimmings can match any kitchen or bath.  

Use a Schluter Strip  

 2

Just stop the backsplash at a window, cabinet edge, or neighboring wall. This avoids the backsplash being uncomfortably chopped off in the middle of the wall.  

 3

Stop at a Natural Break 

Expand the backsplash vertically to the ceiling or horizontally to cover more wall space. This can make the backsplash a design element rather than merely practical.  

Create a Feature Wall 

 4

A backsplash can look complete with a beautiful border tile. A complementary or contrasting border tile can frame the edge for a personalized design.

 5

The backsplash should end in line with the countertop or upper cabinets for balance and symmetry. This way can make the backsplash look deliberate rather than afterthought.  

Align with Countertop or Cabinet 

 6

Reduce the tile size toward the backsplash's conclusion for a more blended look. This method creates a softer tile-to-wall transition.  

Blend into the Wall 

 7

If you dislike abrupt changes, stop the backsplash where it seems natural and paint the wall a matching color. This creates a smooth finish without unnecessary materials.  

Paint the Wall 

 8

Glass or mirrored tile backsplashes create an open, reflective surface that blends into the surrounding space, hiding the edge.  

Use Glass or Mirrored Backsplash
