I'm curious about using porcelain tiles that have a brick-like finish as a backsplash in my kitchen. Are they easy to clean? Do they come off as tacky or outdated? Here's a link to an example I'm considering: https://www.olympiatile.com/product/series/752/london_brick_series. What do you all think?

I think you might run into some cleaning issues with those. It could be worth it to bring a few samples home and do a little test. Maybe splash some oil on them to see if it wipes off easily or if the brick is too porous and stains. You might want to try cleaning up things like cake batter or flour to see how they hold up.
We installed white brick tiles with white grout, and surprisingly, it's the part of our kitchen that gets the most compliments! They can really elevate the space if done right.
If you like the look, go for it! But it really depends on your kitchen's overall style. If your kitchen has a country vibe, those could fit right in. Posting a pic of your kitchen would help get more tailored advice.
Yeah, context really matters with design! I'd love to see the setup.
That's a solid idea! Testing them first seems like the best way to go.
