Backsplash for My Yellow Kitchen.. Please Share Thoughts...
Comments (28)Fishies - I LOVE that big, white tile you're holding up with your french manicured hand! The colour looks luscious, and it looks like tin, except white. 'Tin' is probably not '50's vintage' but it's kind of cottagey, so we're on the map. In my mind's eye, I can super-impose that tile onto your inspiration pic, and it looks good, so I figure it'll look good in your kitchen. I also like that the size is a little bigger than you'd expect. How does the colour compare to your original tile? How does it look with the marble? I guess making sure it matches the marble is key. Your kitchen will be predominantly yellow, brown (wood counter), off white, and greyish white (marble). I think it could handle a textured backsplash like the ones your showing us. (Sometimes I get bogged down with your accessories and fabrics, and I have to remember that those are just small touches against the larger backdrop of yellow, white, greyish-white, and brown.) I don't like the marble mosaic idea because it's lacking the 'cute cottage' feel. White is plain, plain, plain. It's not like you're doing a multi-coloured backsplash....See MoreHelp with kitchen design (tile, backsplash and countertop choice)
Comments (6)JMarino, I am not sure yet how dark will we go with floors but I do not think we will go much darker then the color we have. The tile will run in kitchen only. I did not include the original layout we have, but the kitchen is edged by the peninsula you see on the plan (which now is bearing wall) and the other floor that divides kitchen and dining room. Not sure yet what tile we will pick. I think it will depend on the material and color of the counter top we pick. We will be closing window in the kitchen (where the stove is on the plan) but have pretty big window (three in fact and they are on the south side) in the living room. Lots of light there but still we will be closing window in the kitchen. The plan is to run recessed light s, pendant light above peninsula. There will be a hood (most likely chimney like) over range. There will be cabinet over fridge. Plan was to have enclosed hood over the range but that plan just changed today when we bought hood (chimney wall mount hood-SS). So we will need to change that part of plan now....See MorePlease help me with my kitchen backsplash- large format tile!
Comments (22)I like large tile for backsplash and am doing the same for the same reason, I couldnt get a third slab they didn't have one. I got 24x24 and I'm paying to have a professional install as it's tricky. So far looks lovely! Sizing to space properly is critical I found out from my tiler and he was right. If you have found your perfect tile, you can make it work well. If it's just ok, then I would send it back and look at long narrow floor tiles, or 24x24 or bigger to get your look. That is just what I finished going through. Now I'm stumped on tile for my fireplace.....See MoreKitchen backsplash and pendant light help
Comments (7)Kala, I was trying to find those scallop designs on their, but all I see now are them in the cement. However, they do have these great colors in the 3" hex. In fact, these are on the sale page. it's a teal gray- Tempered Steel color https://www.cletile.com/collections/second-shelf/products/teal-gray-3-5-hex-1?variant= this Silver is also on the sale page some otherspending storm shattered peal tea ceremony. (these come in subways and 2 or 4" squares. I thought they came in the scallop design too. But the hex are equally nice. these would look very nice in your kitchen. they have a nice glaze finish w/varying tones.) for scallop, https://www.mineraltiles.com/search?search_query=scallop I was trying to find these, but I'm afraid they might be very expensive. Similar ones I found at Mercury Mosaics were in the $86 sf range! and the comment above, w/the Fireclay tile mosaics, are also above the $45 sf range. if you have a healthy budget, I can find you some beautiful tiles!...See MoreRelated Professionals
