What to do with my back splash and counters? NOT doing my cupboards.

Here is my considered options: I am considering painting my current backsplash white...and the grout lines black to mock the look of sub way tiles...and then painting the counters black. OR....considering a grey counter. I have put up poster boards to mimic the looks..OR...how about doing a 'whitewash' for the back splash...with some grey and black thrown in? Or would that not work..because it is tile?
BUT look at that awful FLOOR..oh my!! And I currently am not doing my cupboards....Can NOT get on the painted bandwagon...May stain them 'darker' one day.
Now I just need some reader opinions.....so "HIT" me with your best shots...PLEASE !!!!
I am in the current process of putting greys throughout my house...the dining room which is attached to the kitchen...will shortly have a black painted ceiling and a grey cove with grey walls....black and red accessories. My house has red everywhere....The living room...which is on the other side of the kitchen...has a grey couch...black, grey and red area rug.
I like the grey countertop better. I had a black countertop and did not like it. it was too dark for me. now have quartizite in a white blend. Grey would look good with the painted backsplash.
Hi Laura,
I love the look of black, white & red. As a matter of fact for years I had a white house with black shutters & doors and red flowers. As a counter, I love the black look, but I don't know how hard it would be to keep it looking nice. I think that is something that you're going to have to explore before making a final decision. Wishing you the best.
there are 2 colors that show everything black, and white. Do a grey.
I love whitewash on brick! Not sure about the black & grey but it sounds like a great possibility, if you just add a subtle amount of each. Could you try a small area to Get an idea? It might look good with just a whitewash & the grey countertop.
White wash is cool look, it’s not exclusive to brick.
