Rick Spence some interesting subway tiles that pull out the blue in the granite could be nice.

olldbobbi Perhaps stainless tiles to coordinate with your fridge, and round tiles would break up all the squares: [houzz=Random Circles Stainless Steel Tile]

Stoneshop I am fond of the mirror tile look for a bar, personally. It is neutral, plus many bars utilize mirrors in their design. It will also help to bounce around light in this (seemingly) small space.

My second vote would be for olldbobbi's stainless steel tile suggestion.

Granite Grannies Is that a Blue in the Night Granite? That stone picks up the colors next to it really well, so if you don't want to introduce any other colors, then a mirror/ mirrored tile would be great. It would definitely add a lot of shine to the room. However, if you wanted to play up the blue or introduce a new color, the Blue in the Night tends to looks like it's absorbed the colors next to it. It's a really cool effect. I think either option would look great in that space.

Susan Jablon Mosaics Hi kriesenbec!
A fun and different idea would be to go with blue mirror tiles! It is a mirror so it keeps that effect, while adding a little more visual interest and pulling out the blue from the counters. We carry cobalt blue mirror tiles in 5 different sizes, below are some examples and here is a link to all of our mirror tiles: http://www.susanjablon.com/shop/glass-tiles-mosaic/specialty-tiles/mirror-tiles.html

kriesenbec Thank you so much for all of your ideas! The granite is called emerald pearl. Think I'll either go with the stainless tiles or mirror option.

Susan Jablon Mosaics Here is an image of your granite with three different types of tile in a similar shape and size. The top is a cobalt mirror tile, the middle a stainless steel, and the third is called milk glass. It is white, with an iridescent finish that makes it look like a pale blue. Those tiles are curved and create a cool effect. Just another idea!

A Kitchen That Works LLC If budget is tight go with mirror, if not go with glass tile.

kriesenbec Thanks! I think I like the milk glass!

Susan Jablon Mosaics It's really a very cool tile, and very popular! Here's an image of it in a kitchen:

chiomega02 Mirror tiles could be tough to keep clean. Glass or colored tiles would help to mask any spots
