My house is a touch of farmhouse, French country and coastal farmhouse. I recently did my kitchen and I cannot decide on a backsplash. I am not one for splashes of color but I am not opposed to it either. My cabinets are a soft cream. They lean more towards white than yellow. I attached pics of my kitchen and countertops. My hardware is oil rubbed bronze and my stools are espresso. Please help!

Back Splash Ideas need a little help
Comments (1)What overall look are you going for? Modern, cottage, traditional? What style cabints (shaker, slab, etc)?...See MoreNeed backsplash ideas and help
Comments (2)The kitchen looks very nice so far! Are the rest of your furnishings traditional like this? If so, I'd suggest you start by looking at natural stone tiles or ceramic tiles. My personal preference is for a darker color that would match the tone of your base cabinet on the island....See MoreI have been remodeling our kitchen. I need help with backsplash ideas.
Comments (11)This is the most peacefilled spa kitchen like I have ever seen. You have done so great with your choice of paint and counters and cabinet colors. It was obviously made for this tone of tile. I love what Claire suggests, but for some reason am growing weary of the thousands of grout lines in backsplashes this past few years, and I am sure they are easier to install for the crew that works it, but isn't this just a beautiful picture? https://www.houzz.com/photos/waikiki-chic-2-contemporary-kitchen-hawaii-phvw-vp~32466 and with a bit of texture: https://www.houzz.com/photos/waikiki-chic-2-contemporary-kitchen-hawaii-phvw-vp~32465 and with your paint: you will see the tile color in painted wall on the left and your paint choice hue(very close to it) on your right in this sitting area...https://www.houzz.com/photos/waikiki-chic-1-contemporary-living-room-hawaii-phvw-vp~32464 Enjoy looking at all the photos in this set I hope the link works!...See MoreI need help!

Comments (10)So what you're saying is that you don't want a plain boring white rectangle offset tile, which is wise since everything else in your room is white. There are SO many choices in many different shapes, textures and colors. You can be creative with pattern--stacked, offset, herringbone. You can do square offset, arabesque, fishtail, in a dizzying array of colors and textures. Texture is a great way to add interest, I like glossy glazed brick, zelig or crackle tile. Try to find hand-made tiles which are much more interesting than the mass-produced ones in the big box stores. Go to a good tile showroom and bring home samples--these stores usually have talented designers on staff who can help you select something you love! And definitely do not rush. You can cook in a kitchen with no backsplash for as long as it takes for you to find your preferred tile. Here are some of my favorites: Zelig tile: Gray-green mottled color: Close up of zelig tile dark navy or black fishtail: Green glossy with accent on top: Another green with varying color: Square and rectangular white tile in an interesting pattern: Bright green glossy: Gray rectangle with smaller rectangles in niche: Gray rectangles with black liner: Large turquoise arabesque: gray crackle with black and beaded liner:...See More

I did it horizontal because if I did it verticle I would have had only 1 full picket with two halves and hubs didn't like that look.
Excuse the bad pic I needed help with my vanilla in the foreground lol.

How about black? I think it would really look good. Or a charcoal gray.
