I have seen the Forte. It is bright white with soft grey veining. I am having it installed in my kitchen within the next few weeks. I am using white cabinets, but still in search of a backsplash

Hi! Thanks so much for the response. I haven't selected countertops yet, marathon gut remodel on a historic home. If you can post photos once they are installed that would be amazing. I have not been able to see it in person because of showroom closures. We are still in the thick of rough ins but measuring for cabinets this week and countertops will be soon enough so I need to figure it out. I am on decision overload!

Backsplash will fall into place, you will find the perfect choice! I think holding off until flooring, cabinets and countertops are in and you have actual lighting and can bring samples into the actual space is the way to go and so you end up with something you love. Whites and greys do strange things side by side and depending on the light. I suggest trying to tie the room (style and colors) together rather than trying to match anything perfectly is the way to go. I like layers and depth to add interest without competing or looking out of place.

@thoover51 Checking in. Any photos to share of your installed Forte countertops? You find the perfect backsplash?

Counters were just installed today. I love them. My husband thinks white backsplash looks too sterile he prefers the light grey. Still deciding. We gave a very small kitchen

My hardware is champagne color

The countertops look wonderful! Lovely choice. Thanks for sharing photos! Personally I prefer white subway tile. But you would need to find the right white that works/blends with cabinets and quartz. Maybe if laid the tiles herringbone your husband wouldn't feel it was "sterile" and would add interest but still be understated and timeless.

We're remodeling out kitchen and are also going with white cabinets and forte. I'm going with white tile, but not plain subway tile. Take a look at this: https://www.daltile.com/product/Artigiano?color=Italian-Alps&shape=Rectangle&size=3%20X%2012

If your husband wants more oomph, this has a very glossy, wavy look that will add interest. It comes in 12"x3". And you add a little contrast with the grout, pulling a color from the forte countertop.

I like your choice of tile, that is exactly the tile I brought home! My husband usually lets me make all decorating decisions, but the all white really bothered him. I love how it looks. We decided on a marble that is a small subway mosaic that is white, grey and a little beige. We ordered it and I will know Wednesday when it comes in if I love it.

I'd love to see it when you get it! May change my mind :)

Here’s a small sample. I will post larger one one it is installed

That looks great!!! What brand of tile is that?

Thanks. The tile is called White Statuary Calcutta marble. 3/4” x 1-5/8 polished. I do really like it.

I plan to use Forte in my kitchen with my existing maple cabinets. Has anyone use Forte with maple? i am hoping the gray and gold in forte will come out. Any suggestion/ opinion?

Forte with Bedrosians Cloe tile in White and rift sawn white oak.

Does anyone know Where can I get the white statuary marble tile that thoover51 posted ?

Thank you !
