Just tell me what to do! Tile & paint

8 years ago

Cabinets will be quarter sawn oak, medium stain, and counters will be leathered Via Lactea (soapstone-ish). We were thinking of green tile and neutral wall/paint, but then decided to look at full tile board with white tile and a more saturated wall color (green).

To keep the room from feeling too dark, I think I prefer the colored tile and neutral wall. My husband also thinks white tile seems like an afterthought, so he is on board with green tile. But, the neutral paint options are so...dull. We have a blah medium tan/brown on there now. I think it would look better with white trim instead of the cream trim that's there now. Maybe some of my blah neutral choices would also not look so blah with a whiter trim.

What would YOU do? White tile and colorful wall, or colorful tile and neutral wall?

Here are some things I put together (the bright green paint in the second photo is my husband's idea):

Just a few of my zillions of color sheets:
