Not sure what you're trying to match. Are you trying to line up the veining from one tile to another? Are you trying to make sure you have the same "dyelot"? (not sure what it's called in tile, that's a fabric term) for every room?

The white quartz is where I had ended before posting the question.

DS did white marble floors, white marble counters, White marble tub surround, white marble backsplash, white marble shower floor and white marble shower walls. With all the veining it ended up looking really really busy. I think her goal was to use the same material so that it wouldn’t look busy. But it backfired. It probably would’ve been better to vary the materials a bit so that not everything had all the same veining. If you’re trying to accomplish an all white bathroom, you still need to do a little mixing of materials to make it look balanced and pretty. May be worth the fees to hire a kitchen and bath designer to help you pull it off.

When I was in college I had a friend who lived in a cheap student apartment where the landlord utilized the same laminate for both the kitchen floor and the kitchen counter. It was kind of gross cooking on a kitchen counter that looked like the floor. Granted, marble is nicer than laminate, but the aesthetic weirdness is the same.

Take the tile to the place that sells the countertops and match it.

Exact match? No, unless you use the floor tiles on the counter. BUT--counters are 25"+ deep, so your tile doesn't work there.

I agree with Patricia. Go for a simple white quartz you will not be able to match a real marble countertop with your tiles. You also will most likely be unable to match a marble look quartz with your marble look tiles.

I recently redid a bathroom in my house and used 24x24 marble look porcelain on the floor and the same tile in 12x24 on the tub shower walls. I used a white quartz that had small specs of grey in it for the counters. Everyone that has seen my countertop thinks it great. Sorry I don’t know the name of the quartz because I just picked a remnant that the fabricator has in his shop. Here’s a few pictures to give you an idea of how a quartz might work for you.

Sometimes, too much of a good thing is too much. After looking at beautiful flooring, the eye needs a place to rest. A counter/vanity top that looks different can give that visual relief.

One easy trick I like to suggest is an inversion of the colour scheme between floor tile and counter top. In a monochromatic colour scheme this is fairly easy. Your flooring tiles are white with gray veining which means you can find a counter top that is either black or gray with WHITE veining.

This means you have your white cabinets with your white floors and a dark(er) counter top for a lovely contrast. So long as the grays are in the same colour family as the veins in the tiles, you are good to go.

Another option would be soap stone with white veining. These are beautiful counter tops that are lovely and tough and stunning with beautiful charcoal colouring. The natural white veining can be part of your overall design. And you can use the dark counter top to anchor a white on white kitchen. Done and done.

You could also do the tops in something with a small vein... I do agree with others - tons of veining may be too much and if you really want the "exact match" then you must do all the flooring in marble so you can get that for the top as well or look into one of the porcelain companies who do tiles and counters...

Good luck!

“HOW... do you get an exact match between floor and counter?”

You purchase a couple of containers of bookmatched blocks of slab marble direct from China and have the architect design the home for slab floors from the beginning. Then you use the slabs for the counters and walls too. All top dollar looks require, well, top dollar funds. There isn’t a substitute for money. Or skilled trades.

The comments have been great... I’m fairly certain I will do the white with gray vein tile throughout but I do want to keep things interesting from one area to the next and I am back and forth on white cabinets or black lacquer, a more lounge type kitchen if you get my idea. For a B&W home with that tile throughout what would you do for cabinet color? Glossy Black or white? OR should I stay with a solid white or solid black tile and go from there? I know there are those who immediately think ‘oh that’s too much black or white’ but when you get it all layered I think it will look great. Interior designer Kieth Baltimore has a YT video of his N.Y. condo that really captures the look I’m after... the video is called Small Space Packing a Big Design Punch / also if you check out ELLE Canada’s Closet on YT those two videos will give you my drift. I’m open to all your comments!!!

I should have mentioned in my above post that Christine Dovey was the designer behind the ELLE Canada Closet.

If any of you happen to watch Keith and Christine’s videos and have sources for photos or videos along this line please send my way. It’s a look I absolutely love!

Forget "exact". Make contrast your friend please.

OOH I love black gloss cabinets - it really depends on the layout though - it has to be right.. You could do black on the bottom and white on top? I love the idea of your black and white home but just make sure it is not SO repetitive - the same countertop in every space - the same tile running through every room - try to change it up a little. You can definitely repeat things but in a different way... It could be the same tile through out but use different sizes and grout colors. Change the textures - glossy in one space and matte in another. Alter the metal finishes... it should be a fun project!
