        "text": "Deciding whether to take backsplash tile to the ceiling or stop under the upper cabinets depends on your kitchen layout and cabinet placement. In kitchens with continuous upper cabinets, terminating the tile directly beneath the cabinet boxes creates a natural, clean boundary. However, around freestanding range hoods, floating shelves, or windows without cabinets above them, running tile up to the ceiling creates a dramatic focal point and eliminates awkward paint-to-tile transition lines. Taking tile to the ceiling requires more square footage, extra edge trim, and additional cutting labor.",
