Oh I love your kitchen. An excellent idea to go with Bronze/Copper pendants.

@boxerpal thank you! Omg I was actually looking at bronze lights today! I am leaning towards that!! :)

What colour backsplash though? I looked at a couple white subway tile samples today but they are really off with the quartz. See pics below. I'm not sure if white would work. Any ideas? Grey?

Subway is great... But before you commit to subway take a look at one of these....

Ooh I am liking these but... am I right in thinking that the backsplash shouldn't be whiter than the countertop? Maybe a pearl or bone instead?

Yes, I would try to find one (tile and grout ) that will work with your counter. I was listing tile shapes to get a give you ideas. You can search on Houzz but I think finding a local tile place so you can borrow samples to find the perfect match of color.

When you look at tile samples think about light. Do you have under cab lighting? How much light in the space? And look at the samples against the wall not down on the floor or table. Lighting is the key here. Anything can look yellow in the wrong light.

And floors, make sure the tile works with the floors too. You don't want a conflict, you want it to flow.
