Kitchen backsplash w/ Carrara Gold Quartz Countertops

last month

Hello. I really hope someone can help. I’m really struggling to find a neutral tile backsplash to go with Carrara Gold quartz countertops.

This is for a new build and Kitchen cabinets will be BM Natural Cream, walls will be SW Alabaster and island will be SW Anonymous. Hardware and lighting - champagne bronze with stainless appliances. Flooring is Mullican White Oak Harmony which is a medium brown tone.

I’d prefer nothing too trendy and want a subway tile and like the larger sizes, such as a 3 x 12 but am open to smaller sizes

I’ve ordered many samples and I seem to be going too white. Please help! Thank you

This is NOT a decision you need at this time. You are building There is no back splash on earth that can be installed before tops are installed on the base cabinets,

You delay any decision, until then. At that point, you visit dedicated tile stores, take a sample of your tops, a drawer face and you shop. You take home samples, stand them up and look at them in your kitchen in your light with your in place elements. Do not let a builder tell you anything different. You could live a year with no backsplash! Please set this decision aside. - to later.

Now........more important than your back splash? Post the plan for the build and the kitchen within the build. FAR more important than any backsplash : ) ever.

Second most important? Get a sample of your Flooring, cabinet paint color, and the quartz, Make certain you love all of those together. That's second, right behind layout, which is always f.i.r.s.t

Why the different shades of white this will only complicate the counter choice and honestly wall color last choice you make along with backsplash Why that counter ? Where are you in the build process ? Why quartz at all? Too little info to really get help. Quartz often cannot go behind certain ranges but IMO often the same material for backspalsh ans counter keeps things simple

Is the builder requiring a decision on this at this time? If so, just agree on an allowance per square foot and decide it after counters are installed. Lastly, have small paint samples with you of all your paint colors whenever you are out and about - then, collect samples to be looked at after counters are in.

Don't pick the backsplash until everything else is installed including lighting and under cabinet lighting.

It took me 5 months after moving in to find the right backsplash tile/mosaic. When the tile was delivered, the builder sent the tile guy back to my house for the 2-day job.
