cherry kitchen w/ modern glass backsplash?
Comments (5)Call me classic but I like the green subway tiles best of those you chose. They are classic but stylish and add a little contrasting color. The waterfall tiles might look nice but also might be too contemporary. The clear tiles don't really add anything, at least for me anyway. Have you thought about looking for a travertine or glass tile with similar colors like your pendant lights? They look sort of burnt orange or rust colored in the pictures. That color may compliment your granite more too. I think what you get should depend upon what YOU want. If you do everything thinking about resale then you won't get what you really want. If you decide to sell your house, then you can think about tile someone else might want. I actually have a similar decision coming soon. I have cherry cabinets just a shade lighter than yours being installed now. I need to pick granite and backsplash next week so I know what you are going thru. Good luck with your decision....See MoreHelp! Will this back-splash work?
Comments (18)If your choice were only between to 2 you originally posted, I'd choose the one on the right--the cream one. From the photos it looks like it works very well with your quartzite. The gray one is "off" just enough not to look pleasing. However, as many have noted, either one is more difficult to clean than a smooth surface. What sort of cook are you--very neat or more devil-may-care? If you are very neat and do not splash much when you cook, then you may get away with the split-faced marble, but if you are a more exuberant cook, you may find it a challenge to clean. The mother of pearl is very formal and quite busy, so it's going to compete with the counter tops as well. Personally, I would use a smooth crackle tile in a tan/beige tone to work with your quartzite. Simple is always good....See MoreAdvice Needed on Kitchen Tile Back-Splash and LVT/LVP Flooring Color
Comments (5)Hi Chispa, House is a townhouse built in 1996, trying to modernize the look. As far as decorating style, I like modern/contemporary, nothing too funky. Something that would be cohesive with the rest of the kitchen, and bring the kitchen to life a little. It's very white right now....See Moremodern/contemporary kitchen backsplash and light pendant idea
