Question about backsplash?

11 years ago

So I need to pick one of two tiles for my backsplash. We're giving our kitchen a facelift so painted the cabinets white. The counters that came with the house are a mix of tan/brown/grey and it's been SO hard finding a tile that goes with that and also goes with the white cabinets. We've narrowed it down to these 2 after countless visits to the tile store. The one on the left is grazia rixi mandorla and the one on the right is grazia rixi crema. Thanks!

On my screen, the one on the right has a tone similar to your granite and would be my pick.

Pretty tile! Mandorla for sure. Not a fan of the yellowy look.

In the third photo, from farther back, the tiles aren't in the picture, right? Can you post a similar shot with the tiles leaning up against that wall?

I like the one on the right in the 2nd photo. It blends more with the counter. The light one looks like an attempt to match the cabinets but failed.

Hi Carrie B, here's a photo with the tiles leaning up against the wall, with and without flash. Thanks to all of you for your opinions!

I initially would have said the one on the left....but after seeing them leaning against backsplash wall....I agree with the one on the right. It's a warmer tone like your countertop.

Thank you all for your opinions! This was so helpful. We're going to go with the cream ones. As much as I really liked the one on the left when viewed by itself, once I leaned them up against the backsplash wall, it became clear in the pictures that the cream one was better suited. I'll post pics once they're installed.

Update - so we installed the rixi crema and here is how it turned out without and with the under cabinet light:

This granite has been very difficult to match along with the cabinet (I went to multiple tile stores and got countless samples). At the end of the day though, we did the best we could, and I appreciate everyone's help here :-)

We had decided not to go with white, just because there's so much white with the cabinets and the paneling of the refrigerator. Would have been too stark with the white backsplash (though it would have been easier ;-) )

Thank you all for your help and for giving me your input.
