yes. it's too boring. and safe. especially for a beach house. and for me. for others, maybe not. If you're living there and don't plan to sell, do what you like.
If you're renting, or BB or selling, something with some life and color goes a long way.
if you want white, then do a nice white beachy glass tile. I like this one from Oceanside Tile.
comes in 3 diff finishes, and other colors too. (and diff shapes and mosaics. you could do a niche or a vanity backsplash in one of those mosaic designs, just to give it some punch.
that tile, with maybe a marble mosaic tile floor, and something like this, is perfectly minimal beach.
Still white, but a lot better looking than 3x6 subway tiles (which really don't belong at a beach house. not that size and style)
maybe do more of a boho type of tile.
these are similar to Cloe Tile
still white, but not the dreaded 3x6 subways! and you can always punch it up w/the floor tile.
you can still do minimal, but man, put some color or life in there!
if you want all white, bring in wood elements and greenery to keep it from looking like an OR.
and black and white,,,always acceptable!
