Help me pick backsplash/paint color
Comments (7)What color will the dining room be? That would help posters give you advice about whether to go green or ivory? When I painted my current kitchen, I narrowed it down to Kittery Point Green and Sherwood Green. I'm looking at the chips right now! I went with the latter, as I found the Kittery to be too pastel. If you don't mind the contrast, I'd go with the darker Kennebunkport. (I think the Sherwood is in the middle). I meant to post about my colors today, I am thinking about BM Homestead Green (AC-19) which looks blue to me. Everything's looking great so far! Good luck with your remaining decisions....See MoreHelp me pick a backsplash!
Comments (34)Thanks for everyones help! It's been a long road.....we had to move out for a bit to finish up. @Romy718- you are amazing, thank you! I will post a photo when completed! Here are some tile choices. I like white and am terrified to do anything else. Here are my options: ( just look at the 2x8 tile as we are not doing the marble).Left one is a handmade/painted tile.Right is machine made. It will look stacked and have some dimension when installed to give it some texture/character....See MoreHelp me pick a backsplash!
Comments (11)@Jack L I found a slab door similar to what you have posted and took the counter-top image from your post above and paired it with some possible tiles. I strongly recommend matching the grout to the tile because both the door and the counter have prominent patterns. you seem to want an interesting backsplash but this can go wrong, so easily by becoming too busy. You really do need white on white. I think a diagonal line would really look too busy. My favorite look by far with this would be to continue the slab, but if that is not an option, subway tile in a straight line pattern is better than diagonal (there is stacked, running bond, etc). I do find that the white on white dimensional tile might be a great option for you, with white grout. I googled white dimensional tile and found the 2 below. The one on the bottom left can be laid with a flat tile in between the dimentional for a different pattern. One thing that you need to watch for is the overall base white color match to the counter-top. White is not white and if that match is not good, it will forever bother you and you may not realize why, it will just look wrong....See MoreHelp me pick a backsplash
Comments (2)golden harvest walls make the contrast w white even more so. stark . try a light sagey green wall. backsplash in a patterned tile w color.....think country french or portugese hand made colorful tile. the cabinets are fine. how about some cup pulls... just get a little more cozy slightly country feel and the white will actually look fresh rather than irritating as you feel about it now. You're doing great . it wont be hard to pull this all together....See Morepalimpsest
