The small samples are quartz from caesarstone

Not that flooring with Taj Mahall. No please. !!! What is the flooring in the rest of your home? If you want marble on the floor and backsplash? Use a white quartz counter top. Or the palest gray/solid quartz you can find. I prefer the white, don't understand your inspo.....which looks good because of the warmth on the FLOOR.

Definately not doing grey. i have cream and white tones in my home and really dont think grey goes well with cream. i think your right about the white quartz. just wish i could get white in a more stronger material. marble runs in the wet area - laundry kitchen etc and carpet in the rest of the house. i have cream on the walls throughout.

Quartz is strong. : )
