Just moved in to a new house, want to do a backsplash thinking big tiles what do you think and what color?

I would not do anything larger than a subway tile. I am working off my phone screen, when I get in front of my computer I will take a look.

Love the ideas of stainless steel appliances and white subway tile. I think a stainless steel countertop could work.

please note the comment from Barb is not toward my original question. this is another person. Sorry for any confusion. The original question was mine, looking for ideas on countertop and backsplash. thx

@barb it would be less confusing if you posted your own dillema in your advice tab.

a white subway tile or more of a grey tile would be good

ctoy - if you like the look, consider quartz countertops in the same tone. If you want to feel like you have a new kitchen find a granite or marble you love that has color and movement. Basically you have a blank canvas with white cabinets. Stainless appliances will make a huge difference too. Don't commit to a backsplash until your countertops are installed. Light makes such a huge difference.

thank you, I was thinking a white quartz but idk if that will be too much white.

Try gray quartz with some sparkle, if you like that. Careful of black as it shows every crumb and water drop.

ctoy, for quartz, check out Silestone Lagoon...nice with white cabinets and stainless appliances. I'd go with a subway tile backsplash,, but choose those after counters are installed.

I like the idea of a light grey with some sparkle in it. Really getting tire of the ubiquitous busy tiled backsplashes but the the subway with a grey grout would be classic. Good luck!

Craig, I'm with you on the busy tiles. Certain granite patterns mixed with those tiles make my head spin!

CToy10: You may want to look at some of the designs using the same product as a backsplash, that you use for your counters. I think it gives the kitchen a sleek look. I think subway tile looks just that (If you've ever been to London) I personally would never put it on my walls, always makes me think that a train is coming in or a toilet is around, but that's just me.
