Need help coordinating backsplash with granite counter

13 years ago

I feel like I’ve tried everything to come up with a backsplash to go with my St. Cecelia counter (gray green with burgundy flecks). I have antique white cabinets and would like to use a creamy natural stone or marble other than white. Everything looks too gray or too yellow. Any ideas?

I just had a quartz countertop installed in my master bath. It's a beautiful cream.

It's good to pick up on one of the Colours of your granite- st Cecilia has a lot of neutral segments to work with. But harmonizing the counter/cabinet/backsplash is something that takes fine tuning and really it is important to see the samples next to each other.
You've mentioned the selections tend to look too grey or yellow, so trust your eye and keep pulling samples til you find the right one. If you want to keep it light, something in a pale ivory may be a good direction.

What is the style of your kitchen- transitional? Traditional? Vintage? Modern?
