White backsplash still provides that 'timeless' feel.

What is the tile in your third picture, 2nd from left, tan with the vertical striations? That my pick.

You don't want to use accent tile with that countertop pattern. It would be too busy! I like the the white subway tile too. :)

I like the white subway tile from the 1st photo. If the cabinets are a bit more modern, you can go with the sea-blue from the 3rd photo.

I like the off-white on the far right in the third photo. The white looks too stark. The rest are a little gloomy.

White subway tile... to infinity and beyond!!!!!!

Go subway tile all the way. The darkest tile effects a modern look, the white tile with white cabinets effects a traditional look, the lighter tan tile effects a blended look. Walk around your home & determine the look the majority of your rooms are & stick with it as that will be the one you will be the happiest with.

Getting mixed answers but at least you all say subway tile. A pic of my living room is now attached.

I would go with white. Clean and flexible should you change items in the kitchen or the paint on your walls.

I would do either the beveled white subway tile or the blue(ish) glass subway tile (all the way--no accent tile). Either would provide a nice contrast to the darker granite and would look good with your white cabinets. The white is probably a little more classic/timeless and the glass tile maybe a little more modern, so it kind of depends on the look you are going for. Either would tie in nicely with the living room.

Here is another pic of a nicer grey tile and my cabinets. Will get a fresh coat of white paint put on the cabinets soon.

The darker subway tile in the first picture would be my pick. White tile is so boring, but go with what you love because you are the one that will enjoy it!

The grey tile does not look like a good match for the yellow tones IMHO. I think this color range would darken the room. I think the white subway tile will coordinate with the white cabinets and you will appreciate it more over time.

I like the softer look of tile in picture two with granite. It looks like it would pull together the counter space areA and pop the white cabinets. The white tile looks too stark with the granite. See how the other appliances and accessories look with that tile . I would stick some the tile to a piece of cardboard set it up in splash area and look at it for a few days.

I would choose the white tile then add an accent of the mosaic tile about 2/3 or 3/4 of the way up. The white tile does provide a timeless look and the mosaic tile would make it pop.

I like the clean simplicity of the ivory in the top middle photo. ( it's on the far right). Your granite is so pretty you don't want it to busy as someone mentioned, or distract from the granite.

I'd say the cream subway tile

I agree with picture two...it pulls the gray from the granite nicely while still providing some warm undertones.

I like the solid tile in picture 2 and 4. No border.

I like the gray tile

I agree with Innovative Designs. White subway is always great but it needs a pop and mosaic would do the trick.

My first choice would be the dark tile in the first photo. It goes well with the colours in the granite. If I had to pick a second choice it would be the lighter tile in the second photo (shown stacked). It's colour also goes well with the counter. One has more contrast and the other is more monotone. Third choice would be white.

I wouldn't use the small glass tile since your countertop is already. busy.

dc, you are being paged! https://www.houzz.com/discussions/dclostboy-report-to-classy-bedroom-thread-please-dsvw-vd~886085

The far right white subway in photo 3 seems to have the right off white tone and the beveled edge works with your raised panel doors. I also like the light blue-grey tile in 4th photo. It picks up the matching tone in the granite and would add contrast to the white cabinets, but I'm not sure if it works well with the living rm blue. I wouldn't use accent tiles because I wouldn't want to compete with your beautiful counters.

I'm really looking for a WOW factor that ties the living room and kitchen together.
I think glass tile 2 x 6 is going to best the best size but I am up in the air about what color.

I think I would still go for the light blue glass tile since it looks like your wall is painted blue as well.

2 walls in the LR are Sherwin Williams Tradewind (a Blueish Green) The stone has a greyblue in it. All the sample tiles are dark grey or light grey. I have no blue tiles. When in the Stone Warehouse the day I picked the stone, we put my flooring and white cabinet and a sample of the Tradewind up to the stone and it all went together, but doesn't seem so in my condo.

Lighting in a particular area determines how the surfaces appear together. Even under counter lights can significantly change how your tile looks with with the counter granite. The lighting also may have different temperature lights 2700 K to 4500 K. Fluorescent also comes in warm white and cool white.
Make sure you have the lighting and the lamps you are going to be using when making your final selection for tiles and paint. Sometimes a very knowledgeable lighting professional can help you achieve your desired look. Some upscale electrical places have displays with different temperature lighting. If you take your paint chip, tile and a sample of granite and get a better feel for how the lighting temperature will change the appearance. The lighting pro can help you choose the best option. If your paint or tile appear to warm or cool you may have to get a few more Paint and tile samples or adjust the lighting in that area to see if that does the trick.

Would love to know what you finally decided. Keep us posted.
