Alaska White Granite Countertops & Backsplash Ideas

Subway Tiles in White

• A backsplash with glass or ceramic subway tiles in white is one option for your Alaskan white granite countertop. Add accent tiles of espresso and cream and carry the colors of your countertop into the backsplash. Subway tiles are rectangular and larger, typically 3-by-6 inches, versus traditional tiles.

Traditional Ceramic Tile

• An oasis of solid cream, beige or espresso in traditional, 1-by-1-inches tiles also works with this choice of countertop. Select the solid color of one of the least or most prominent shades in your Alaskan white granite and create a backdrop of solid, sophisticated style.

Mosaic of Primary Colors

• Make a pattern that is mosaic style, a blend of different colors, with traditionally sized tiles in the white, brick red, deep brown and soft beige. The brick red and deep brown may not be in the actual granite but they complement and work with the colors of the countertop for a contemporary, sleek look.

Glamor Tile

• Make your backsplash more glamorous, perhaps for a more romantic or Parisian inspired space, by adding a backdrop of gold and bronze glass tiles in subway or traditional sizing. These give a sharp yet appropriate contrast to the soft colors of the countertop.
