That is what I did, I also have a 2 tone kitchen with dark lowers and white uppers. My backsplash tile is white but I did a light contrast in grout to make the tile shape more visible.

You can also do a color. My uppers and counter are white and my lowers are light wood, and I did a turquoise backsplash. I think lots of blues and greens go well with white and light colored woods.

that sounds good stillpitpat . I’ve been thinking about that too. Did you use glass or ceramic tile?

You’re right, chispa. I had ordered white quartz but I am going back to change the order to something closer to the biscuit colored cabinets. So hard to know which element comes first!

This is the layout.
