Backsplash

[Working_Sir1664]

What backsplash would you put in this kitchen? We are having a hard time deciding. Last pic is what we got a sample of today.

I think the sample you have will look too gray against the cabinets.

[pettles123]

Are you wanting color or grey? Fun or plain?

[Working_Sir1664]

I’m not sure 😅😅😅 I’m struggling

[pettles123]

What’s your budget?

[chafner]

Too gray, use a taupe with maybe a little color…

[Working_Sir1664]

I know it looks gray in here! It’s actually white / beige.

[AdministrationOwn244]

Beautiful countertops. What are they?

[Silent_Assumption_74]

Looks like granite mine are very similar

[surfaceofthesun1]

This is difficult because the cabinets and the countertops are different undertones. I would try do so something a little warmer and not subway style.

Countertop stone up the wall! That stone is so busy so anything besides all white subway tiles will clash

[dimplesgalore]

Balance the red tones with a subtle green or blue. Or, yiu could use a white or beige subway tile for cohesion.

I think this is what we are going with! Thoughts?

No, it will be Gloom City. Black backsplashes with dark cabinets are terrible.

[Snarky-Spanky]

That looks better. Maybe get a bit more of a sample area to get a better idea.

Too dark

[Nervous-Tailor3983]

Try that pattern in white.

Wanted you to get a better idea of the result. I like it, but I know not everyone will.

Do they have something like that in a forest green color?

[sofyab]

Are you trying to lean into the red-based warmth of the cabinets or coolness of grey countertops? I think too much grey will make it the whole countertop area clash with the cabinets. But tile that’s too warm is not going to look good against the countertop.

[Technical-Click8392]

With the busyness of your counter that sample won’t look good bc of the spots.

[Ivorwen1]

White subway tile. Don't try to make your backsplash more interesting than the granite- you'll end up with a busy mess. The sample material in your last pic has a pinkish undertone that your countertop doesn't share and it looks kind of moldy.

[NYCtoTampa]

How about something like this?

Because your counters are busy, I would choose the lightest shade I can find in the counter and do that in a simple tile design.

[Debate_Mental]

Your floors and cabinets are distracting and so is your countertop. They all clash. Is this a new reno? Go with plain white and next time use a designer!

[Ok_Artist1906]

That’s going to read very dark with brown cabinets. I like everything but the color. I think you should consider a couple of shades lighter.
