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 MoreWhite Antique kitchen cabinets -- backsplash too white?
Comments (16)I'm with Daisychain - just say no to 3 stones in one kitchen. Alaska White is a beautiful granite. It will be the star. Both of the backsplash tiles you pictured would be wrong. The one on the right because it is busy, and also a dated look. The one on the left cause it would be stone #3 in your kitchen, and because its veining going in different directions with each tile will not go with your granite. I recommend a quiet cream subway backsplash. Not only will go, but also is a classic. Not everything in your kitchen needs to be splashy and statement-y. Keep that in mind with all your choices....See MoreWhat backsplash with Colonial White granite counters & white cabinets?
Comments (19)After more thought, the 4x12 is going to look weird. It will only be 4 tiles high behind the main counter. And the long stretch under the bar is only 5.5 inches tall so it will have one tile and a sliver of a tile under the bar. I really wish I could find something that is 2.5x6, 3x8, 3x10 in a color similar to the MSI Dove Gray. The MSI Dove Gray has a silvery tone to it that goes best with the Colonial White granite counters. I found a 2x10 tile that is gray (SOCI Crafted Brick Gray which is apparently new). I like the size, the crackle finish, and the uneven handcrafted look to it but the gray is more of a putty color. It doesn't have the silvery color that the Dove Gray has. The SOCI Crafted Brick Gray is apparently new so I can't find any pictures or displays at showrooms of it up on a wall to see how it looks installed. But, the Colonial White granite has some silver shimmer scattered throughout it that I think goes better with the Dove Gray. So, does anyone know of a silvery gray tile in a 2x6-10 or 2.5x6-10 or 3x8-10?? Something other than the 3x6 size that is everywhere. A little bit shorter and wider than the standard 3x6. Thank you very much for any advice or suggestions! Dove Gray on left in 3x6. Soci Crafted Brick in 2x10 on right. Dove Gray 4x12 on left. Soci Crafted Brick Gray 2x10 on right....See MoreHelp choosing backsplash and quartz for off white cabinets
Comments (9)it gets down to budget. QUARTZ GRANITE OR CORIAN ARE ALL different pricepoints Quartz counters are fabulous but expensive. Based on your info provided I would create a palette [ inspiration board] and start with the most that could be done here....first .look at wood look vinyl planks for a new floor.....what do you most desire for counters ? will there be an overhang ? likely a subway tile backsplash .........look for a directional sconce above the sink for some detail .....re: those vinyl floor planks...they have many textures and shades to mimic wood looks...so if you start w something that interests you for a new floor [bring home samples] then the counter options fall in line much more easily. But again.....only you know the budget you have at hand. It looks like the floor will go beyond to the dining area w four chairs......so measure ....but I think the planks would really fit in w a bit more modern feel as you state....See Moremxk3 z5b_MI
