Tile Above Cabinets?

Hi all. We bought a builder grade new construction recently and are starting work to add character and upgrades to it. We plan to add a backsplash to the kitchen (possibly square zellige or similar — see inspo photos). We really want to do the tile all the way up and around the kitchen window. However, we are concerned it would look off to have the tile stop on top left side considering the gap between the cabinet and the ceiling. We are removing the cabinet to the right of the window and putting open shelving there instead so that’s less of an issue.

With that in mind, should we do the tile all the way around the tops of the cabinets throughout the kitchen? We really don’t want to build up the cabinets all the way to the ceiling or put fillers in (I just don’t like that look). Or should we just cut the losses and stop the tile at the bottom of the cabinets?

Inserting pictures for reference and one the rest of the room. Please note most of the furniture is from law school and will likely be replaced eventually, but the same general vibe will remain (albeit nicer pieces, hopefully).

Appreciate any thoughts on the tile placement (and tile type/selection recommendations if you’re feeling generous).
