With a busy floor and speckled counters, I would stick with a simple splash in one solid color.

Yes the floors are done. Yes the reno is still in progress so no the cabinets and drawers are not on. Thank you for noticing. I do agree that she needs a simple backsplash, just not sure if it should be brining in tones of the floor or tones of the counter. I know the floors and counter are two different color tones. I personally would have stuck to warm neutrals. But I think if she did maybe a subway tile in simple color it would be ok.

Counter tops are also redone. She only wants info on a backsplash. No to the sample on the floor. I would also look for tile that is a bit larger than that mosaic that is on the floor. Solid color. The others are right, get the doors and drawer fronts on first, before picking a backsplash.

It will be easier to confirm this once drawer fronts and doors are back on, but I think a 3x6 subway in the lightest cream from the floor or darkest color in the counter would work well. Has she settled on lighting yet? That is something I would do first, different colors of white will change how the countertop looks, which will impact how the backsplash harmonizes it all together.

IMO the counter and floors do not work together maybe new LED bulbs in 4000K will help see the colors better and definately not those tiny mosaci tiles at all. On my monitor the floor looks warm and the counters cool so until the cabinets are back in I would not even hazard a guess at what color backsplash

I agree Patricia. i agree the floors are warm and counters are cool.

i think shes going to take your advice and go with a subway tile that brings the color in the floor. lighting has not been picked out yet. shes going to wait for cabinets and drawers to be completen. thank you so much all!!!

Do the backsplash after the lighting. You may be very unhappy with the backsplash colors once you can see them properly in new lighting.

Curious why the sink is in the bottom of the cabinet - IME undermount sinks are installed with the new counters?

mary they had an issue with the piping so the sink installation was delayed. its all fixed now. she picked out a few more samples. i still say go with a simple subway tile. id like her to bring in some color from the floor.
