TBH I think it would look a little off either way. If there is no sink or stove there I would just skip the backsplash.

I vote backsplash to the edge of the counter top. We went back and forth when we renovated and the contractor convinced us to go that route. I'm glad we did. However, if there is not a sink in that area I'd skip the backsplash and just paint.

@skipra: hmm true

@skipra: yeah, that's my new vote!

I'd go no backsplash. I saw an episode of Flip or Flop with a similar layout where they tiled the whole wall in something pretty and used it as a focal point to in the kitchen.

Honestly I'd tile all the way up and make it a feature wall.

I'd do whole wall or nothing personally.

I agree with @skipra: That space would look best without a backsplash. Tiling all the way up would only highlight the uneven spacing around the ends.

@T.H.O.U.: good point.

I think I vote no backsplash!

@T.H.O.U.: I was thinking the difference probably isn't as obvious in person. I'd put a big potted houseplant (like a big yucca or something) next to the counter on that side to cover up the space regardless of whether I made it a feature wall or not!

I'm with @avivoca. I like the feature wall idea.

@gotkimchi: So pretty!!!

Now that I've seen the other side of the kitchen, I would definitely not tile the first side. I think the range area or the sink/window should be the focal point of a kitchen.
