Liking this 3x6 tile the best so far.

I like the 3x6 the best too. The sparkly is too white for your counter and cabs, marble tile on marble counter is usually advised against, and there's something about the arabesque shape with your floor that looks off to me.

Arabesque antique white.

3 by 6. solid. and if there any color you love-that's maybe a nice place to become all daring or playful..your kitchen lends itself well to that i think. of course you need to mind a) countertop b) your own preferences-you need to really like that color. for example blue(but not in glass..I'd go with solid ceramic subway. can't really explain why..i'll think) might be very nice.

second choice-arabesque.

I like the white subway tile best too. Second choice is the arabesque. I don't care for the small tiles, they are pretty but seem to compete with the marble counter.

I like the pale blue/green (far right) subway myself.

I like the pale blue/green too, its a color that would go with many accessories. Or paint the kitchen that color and to the white subway!

I like the circled white subway best. I also think the blue could work. I don't like the small tiles - too busy. And the glass shiny ones don't really work in this space. The arabesque is nice too, but I read in two different articles this month that the Moroccan/arabesque design motif is on the way out (and I had already been thinking the same thing). I still like it, but I think it's going to look dated before the subway tile does.

What a beautiful kitchen! I like the blue subway best for your room. I can't tell if the blue is glass or ceramic but I'd prefer ceramic in your kitchen. My second choice is the white subway, but because everything else in the room is white, I think a colored backsplash would look much better. I just did a quick google search for "backsplash for white kitchen" and all of the kitchens that popped up with white cabinets, white countertops AND white backsplash had dark floors, either wood look or tile. A colored backsplash in this blue or another color you love would provide that ballast for your kitchen.

Here's a 2 x 8 cement tile. Or a zellige..

The 3 x 6 subway is in the lead right now. It's from Lowe's and it's not a true white. Lowe's has a brighter, ICE white too but not locally.

I think the non-true-white is better with your countertops, no? Hard to tell on the computer, but your countertops (and maybe your cabs) look a little creamy. I wouldn't want true white with off white counters.

Cabinets are true white. The countertop is Minuet quartz.

The diagonal floor tiles and the ornate diagonal in the backsplash bother me ... if both were straight or both curvy I'd be OK with it.

With a small kitchen, if you have a prominent backsplash or other feature, it will look closer and make your kitchen feel smaller.

I agree. If you had a different floor, then the arabesque would be fine, but not with your floor.

How about a very light gray subway?

I like the 3x6 and I'd listen to mayflowers.

I like the arabesque, but if it was my kitchen I'd like a pop of color in there. So if I couldn't find an arabesque with a color that I liked I'd go with the greenish one on the right.

I like the blue green one on the right.
