Help with colors and ideas for kitchen?

I would go with white backsplash. Perhaps just traditional subway tile. It will give you the contrast between the counter and backsplash and brighten the kitchen, too.

I agree that white tile would look lovely. There are tons of choices for white tile out there, so do some research online. There are beautiful variations, even with subway tile. Even with a simple white tile, there are different patterns you can apply them in. Good luck and stay safe!

I agree with Chloe, white subway tiles would be nice, the small squares are very busy and as you have stated, they do not match the counter tops. You could also do a contrasting horizontal strip ( maybe in a complementary color) with the counter tops just to tie it together, to break up the subway tiles if you choose that.

Hi Terry, congratulations on your new home. I think white subway tile would look great as a backsplash., it would brighten up the area. You way want to stick with marble type counter tops. Good luck with your new home.

Keep in mind that removing any backsplash tile is undoubtedly going to cause damage to the drywall underneath. This will have to be repaired/replaced first in preparation for the installation of the new tiles.

Often inexperienced diyers do not budget for the expenses incurred during this stage of the remodelling job.

All tiles, even 'basic white subway tiles' are not created equally.

Generally lower priced tiles are thinner than higher priced tiles, resulting in more breakage when being cut. This results in a greater pile of broken tile pieces that cannot be used. Higher priced or higher end tiles can be expected to be more durable than cheap ones.

When budgeting for the job, remember to purchase more than just the sq footage of your area, to allow for chipping, cracking and breakage.

Peel and stick tiles would be a quick solve to your backsplash problem. :)

I personally love the pressed tin tile back splashes but if you are getting rid of the stainless steel sink for a white one then I would very much go with everyone else's suggestion of the white subway tile.

I have seen some beautiful paneling at lowes. They carry some barnwood paneling that would look stunning as the back splash in your kitchen.

I would be careful not to do too much white as that can make the room look very sterile. A splash of some color on the cabinets would look nice.

Everybody and their dog has white cabinets. You can add color but still keep it light by varying the shade of color.

Here is an example of the paneling from lowes:

I would put in gray glass subway or white glass subway tiles. I would also put in a dark granite or quartz countertop. Too much white if you do it all white. You need some color in your kitchen. Are you going to paint the walls?

Maybe subway tile backsplash? https://www.aratariathome.com/blog/kitchen-backsplash

I would for sure keep your backsplash white ... what about mini brick ceramic tiles with slightly darker grout ... would also add under lights
