Very small kitchen, cream cabinets, saltilo tile floors, elegant granite counters, had planned on tumbled travertine for backsplash but now not sure. Considering 1) subway pattern with 3 x 6 tile, 2) 45 degree pattern with 4 x 4 squares, or 3) single row of 6 in. squares topped with 1 in. rope.

Don't want it to be too busy. Also, what color to paint walls; kitchen flows into a small sun room. Satillo floor is at 45 degree angle pattern. There are lots of squares, rectangular shapes. Durango Cream Travertine.
