I have a client with the same dilemma. They have a herringbone tile floor that looks very similar to yours. They have white cabinets. We chose a back splash tile with a different pattern but with the same color scheme. It also comes in blue. This one is a great pick too because it adds texture to the space. It is a Bedrosian long hex tile.

Plain subway tile is probably the least trendy tile you can choose, IMO you chose a flooring that ctries out for the rest of the space to be simple.

That floor cries out for EVERYTHING else to be plain.

The problem is your flooring not only has tons of movement in the individual pieces, you then put those in another pattern. If everything else isn't simple it's going to be too much. Stick with subway tile- it's not a trend. It's a classic.

The countertops are carrera white quartz, cabinets will be white with uppers having frosted glass doors and wood shelving within. Our peninsula is a blue-green (indigo) and fixture such as faucet, handles, and range hood are matte black.

Go with a back painted glass backsplash in a color that blends with your countertop (white)- go with anything that isn't busy. I wouldn't even add a texture - but then again I don't like pattern on pattern - it gets too busy. At least you can customize your color for the backsplash. JMHO

similar look to this one below (which is a 3x6)

or a more modern stack layout

Backsplash matching the countertop?

Knowing your kitchen layout would be helpful. Repeating the herringbone layout in your backsplash would bring some continuity to your room. Consider a white or light grey glass that coordinates well w/your counter top.

Is it too late to ditch the floor? It’s the 2000 lb gorilla bossing everything else around.

If not. Ditch the second color of cabinets, and the contrasting knobs, and the contrasting plumbing. Ditch all of that eye crossing visual overload. Do All White everything else. Either run the counter up the wall, or do back painted glass. Then work in some wood somewhere. It desperately needs warmth.
