Minuet countertops with a marble backsplash - nice or clashing?

2 years ago

For reference we have white shaker kitchen cabinets with nickel hardware. Minuet countertops are being installed this week, and I am debating doing solid white subway tile or a marble look. picture does not do it justice so i attached the website photos as well. if i go with this tile i was thinking a light gray grout.

Otherwise, basic white subway tile with white grout lol

thoughts?



Potential backplash tile ^


Countertop ^^

    Like Glacier White Corian, subway tile plays nice with others all the time. Swirly marble not so much.
