Off white cabinets with white marble backsplash??
Comments (5)Cream colors (most off whites fall into cream categories) and white/greys don't usually look good together. They make each other look dirty. Get a few pieces of the white marble tiles and get a door sample in your color. Bring them home to your kitchen, for your lighting, and put them next to each other and see what they look like they. If you see color like most people do, you're not going to think they look good together. Get a back splash that's warmer/beige in hue or a completely different color than white. That's just my opinion. Not written in stone....See MoreBacksplash: Finding a White that matches counter and cabs.
Comments (3)I generally go for "looks good with" rather than "matches". Trying to match can be tricky because the light source isn't always the same and what is a perfect match in daylight could be an unpleasant "just missed matching" under artificial light. I think various whites that look good together also add a bit of depth. I have a really high level of color discernment whenever I take that test that gets posted on here occasionally, so I don't think it's that I can't tell the difference between shades, --apparently I see it but it doesn't bother me....See MoreAntique White cabinets - backsplash too white??
Comments (4)Those white tiles are definitely too white for your cabinets. There are tons of tile options out there -- keep looking until you find the right warm white one. Given your two types of counters I would stick to a simple backsplash -- I don't think the mosaic will work well....See Morematching backsplash to white dove cabinets
Comments (17)lindsjoyr, did you already paint one cabinet or is that a sample up there? I too think the dark cabs are so pretty with your appliances. If it were me, just grout and then live with it. If you want to paint cabs later, then go for it. (And hide the white coffee grinder ;-)). You have fab appliances and the backsplash is beautiful and classic and will be easy to clean.... You did a beautiful job!...See MoreBev Stuart
