Need help with counter-top and backsplash selection
Comments (1)I think white would be a nice contrast. I've attached a link to a GW member's (kellienoelle) kitchen that used Delicatus granite & a classic white backsplash. Here is a link that might be useful: Kellienoelle's Dark Cherry & Delicatus Reveal This post was edited by romy718 on Fri, Mar 14, 14 at 21:46...See MoreKitchen back splash and counter tops

Comments (3)If you have trouble visualizing what you'd like but "know it when you see it", then at this stage you should probably just look at as many stainless / dark cherry kitchens as you can and see which countertops and flooring "grab" you. In my case I knew I wanted simple, natural cherry cabinets and stainless appliances and probably a wood floor, but that was it. Looking at lots of pictures helped me narrow things down, so now I can at least have intelligent conversations with kitchen designers. I'd suggest going over to houzz.com and entering "stainless steel dark cherry kitchen" into their search box and looking through some of the hundreds of results you get. It's a great source of ideas. After you see some you like, you can probably come up with more words to add to the search box to narrow things down. You can also go to google and enter "site:gardenweb.com dark cherry stainless" and you'll find lots of threads on this site too. I don't know of a way to limit it to threads with photos, unfortunately. Laura...See MoreNew kitchen countertops and backsplash help
Comments (8)I have warm toned cabinets - different style but I recently had new counters, backsplash and sink installed. Technically my quartz is not a "marble look" but I often get asked if it is marble. It has cream and some warmer colors along with some gray so it works with my warm toned cabinets. There are several out there with similar qualities: Once you pick your countertop, look at the lighter tones of the counter and use that as a guide to the backsplash tile. If possible, wait till the countertop is installed before making a final decision on the backsplash. Sometimes, the big picture of the counters can change what you want. I adjusted the tone of the white I wanted - moved more to a cream - you would probably need to go more white to work with both the warm and cool tones.. When the tile has been installed, but has not been grouted yet, there will be the illusion of a contrasting grout. That look can help you decide whether you like it, or if it doesn't look like you expected. Since you do appear to be trying to mix the warm and cool tones - not easy at all, you might take some ideas from this kitchen.It does successfully mix maple with gray in part buy using a lot of neural white: I agree with Sina about the flooring - it already is struggling next to the cool toned wood look flooring....See Morewestvirginia
