Backsplash help
We have yet to install backsplash. Whites are too white. Grey can seem slightly off. Greige tones match well but also match wall. There really isn’t much to tile except the corner and behind stove. Two windows on either side of stove. Kitchen is open. Other side is windows and we have a lot of wood. Old beach home w chunky shiplap walls on other side and wood ceilings in sunk in living room/dark beams. So leaning towards simple.

Need help with my kitchen
Comments (16)I think this is a really nice kitchen - you've done a nice job. The only thing that is throwing it off are the two different floors in dining and kitchen area. I'd like to see the same flooring continued through both areas. I think you'll be very pleased with the difference it makes. Since you do not like the wood or the tile, perhaps a porcelain 12x24 tile would work for you. It's very durable, so you wouldn't have to worry about the Newfies scratching it and very easy to maintain. You'd could opt for one of the wood grains on the market or one made to simulate stone. I think a greyish color would work well....See Moreneed help with kitchen guys!!
Comments (3)Can you post some photos? It would be good to see the marble color and pattern in particular before brainstorming about the backsplash as you don't want anything busy if your marble has a fairly busy veining pattern. But even without a photo, one safe choice could be matching subway tiles to your cabinet color. This would make the brown marble counters stand out as the feature of the kitchen....See MoreNeed help deciding cabinet colour
Comments (8)I agree with the lighter cabinets for the upper and the darker for the lower. I really love the look of this tile for your backsplash but there is no info given, therefore, cannot tell you what it is. http://houzz.com/photos/653687...See Moreback splash/ tiling
Comments (12)Don't be swerved away from hand painted tiles! The best way to add colour and originality (I make hand painted tiles so I may be biased). I would take the tiles to just under the bottom shelf, and up to the hod. We have had tiles behind our cooker for 21 years, and we don't find the grout staying clean a problem. By the way - I think subway tiles will look dated in a few years, as anything bang on trend tends to do....See More

A 3D white tile or a white iridescent one like suggested by Lyn Nielson above, I think are great options to make a bit more intereresting vs. just plain white subway tile. I would try to match the white (cool vs. warm) as close as possible to the white in the quartz coutnertop. Here's an example from a projects we did, granted the coutnertop is a bit darker:
