My wife is having a hard time picking out a backsplash for our kitchen. We have our kitchen painted red, tropic brown countertop, maple cabinets with honey stain with a mocha glaze on the trim, and beige floor tile in a pinwheel floor design. What kind of backsplash would you recommend?

george: I actually referred to it as Tan Brown by mistake (they're both similar), but the picture above is Amazon Star as you said :-) The floor tile should be lighter than he granite.

I really like the Amazon Star you reccomended. Does the design of the laminate tile matter? It is light/medium in color, but has some "wavy" pattern to it.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2009-05-07 17:28:04

Ann: Light or dark is often dictated by the available light. If the layout of your kitchen is open, spacious and well lit, go for the dark stones. Otherwise, lighter colors tend to look more inviting and warm. Try Crema Bordeaux as the darker color and Juparana Golden Vyara for something lighter. Let me know how you like these.

Diana: Well, since you left the comment under a photo of Amazon star, I'll assume you like this color. And I do as well. It seems to fit your color scheme quite well. What you can't see in this photo is the fact that there is some green in this stone. Seems like a good match.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

cami: I think black would create too much contrast. Also it is pretty hard to keep clean as it shows smudges, dust, crumbs, etc.. Amazon star would tie into the wood quite nicely while providing plenty of contrast.

I have Oak Cabinets (almost the honey color) and white marble floors. I have been thinking about Amazon Star, Baltic Brown or something darker (black). But I am afraid that the black might stand out too much. Any suggestions?? What black would look better with the oak cabinets.

Name: Jandy

Date: 2008-10-10 12:52:00

One more question please since I really have to decide soon. I said I didn't want "black" but I now think dark granite looks really good with the cabs. Verde Peacock or other suggestions? Thanks so much.

We have a good sized kitchen, custom stained maple cabinets in reddish/brown tone,light tile floors, stainless steel applicances (cooktop in island in center of kitchen), trying to decide on counter colors and leaning toward Baltic Brown, Giallo Vincenza, or Tropic Brown. What do you think? Any others we should consider.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2008-04-21 14:10:32

sugarbear: If the cabinets are medium in tone, I would first try to decide wether going lighter or darker than the cabinets will work better. Then try to find a stone that matches the general color scheme of the room.

Jen: Uba tuba would look quite nice with the cabinets. Now if the floor has reddish tones in it, that might clash with the granite a bit. If it's just natural cherry, you will be ok.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2007-07-11 09:57:37

Chris: You don't want to make colors to close to each other because it will make all the elements: countertops, floors, and walls blend in too much. Uba Tuba might be a good way of breakin the color scheme but may look a little too dark unless your kitchen is very large and bright. you may also lookk for something ligher and contrasty to the floor and backsplash in warmer tones.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2007-07-10 19:13:06

Pat: Giallo Ornamental wouldn't be too bad. It depends how light you want to go. New Venitan is a little darker and it is definately warmer so you may try that combination.

We have maple/cognac cabs,blended terra cotta tile floor & blk apps. Since Amazon Star or Tropic Brown don't seem viable, would the color combo & tone of Giallo Ornamental work best vs. Verde Laura or New Venetian Gold work best.
