Our kitchen with brick wall

What is the best look for a complimentary backsplash above Venetian pearl granite. There is a brick wall with arch above the cooktop in the same room. We don't want too much pattern.

You could consider a light glass tile for the backsplash. I would also suggest replacing the valance with a flat panel valance or Roman shade, and removing all items on top of the cabinets for a more updated look.

That brick is gorgeous! Since you have so many patterns going on in your kitchen, I suggest not having a back splash. There is nothing wrong with mixing patterns and colors, but sometimes too much can make your room look choppy and not flow well. You don't want to take away from your beautiful counter tops and brick. I hope this helps!

My brick was in similar condition up close, cleaned it as best possible and then put on several coats of a sealer that didn't change its sheen/appearance. The walls could have been exposed brick too, but those were more of the brick that wasn't meant to be exposed variety in addition to creating plumbing, electrical and other headaches. I think the distressed look adds character, but its hard to tell if this would work in your kitchen with just a close up. It's of course possible to repoint brick, its messy though particularly for interior work.

Garage doors are almost never the most important element in the facade of a house. Thus, rather than having contrasting doors and drawing everyone's attention to the garage, make the garage doors blend into the rest of the house by closely matching the color of the siding of the house. Don't use stained doors since they will highly contrast with the rest of the house.

I actually think you have a nice kitchen, without doing much at all. The creamy white is not helping it appear brighter at all. Install more lighting, and change the creamy white to a bright white. That appears to be an oven in the brick wall. Not sure why the counter runs in front of that. If you dont need that counterspace, I would eliminate that section of countertop. You dont need to paint the walls white, you can pick a white with a hint of color in it, so you get a bit of interest in there. I would also leave the brick the way it is. If that is the oven in that brick, I cant even imagine how hard it is to use, with that counter in front of it. I am also not fond of the new choice for countertop, you picked. I would keep the cabinets like they are, and pick a new countertop, in a whiter white. Make sure your lighting is about 4000k led daylight bulbs.

First I want to start by commenting on how awesome that brick work is, seriously, I love it. If you want to add in a backsplash I would suggest keeping it very simple - a light cream glass tile in a simple subway pattern would tie everything together without taking away from the other patterns you have going on in the kitchen.

We have a light cream color glass tile that would match the cream in your counters. If that is a route you're interested in taking or you just want a free sample to test out just let us know and we can get one sent out for you.

Here is that cream glass tile:
