Hi, Regarding the backsplash I have replyied you at the top. In terms of desing thinking I would recommend you to go with some greyish and neutral colours. Please take a look at the attachments: Silver Travertine Tiles and Marazi Ceramic Tiles Beige and Grey. I hope I could help !
Hi, Please accept my depest apology in delay of responding. I have found for you two suggestions of the backsplash. The first on is Anatolia Bliss Creame Breulee Line Mosaic and the second is Pietre Cristal Ivory Linear Mosaic. I think that both of them will match with your cabinets and countertop. Good luck !
Help help wanted;).. I am looking for a modern look back splash that goes perfectly with my dark cherry java cabinet and a light grey walls.. I had bianco antico counter top.. Looking for a modern look .. Love love glass mousiac but not sure .. Helpp

You welcome ! If you will have any other question just let us know.
Thank you!
Regarding to your walls in the kitchen, I'm thinkng about such a colours like: Linen, Ivory or Antique White. In the attchments you will find all examples.
Hi, In terms of design thinking I would recommend you to go with off white backsplash, especially to the white cabinets. This will create an elegant atmosphere, light and fresh kitchen design. I attached you two propositions: Antique Ivory Travertine Tile and Light Brown Glass Brick Mosaic Tile. Please let me know what do you think ?
Hi, I would recommend you to go with a Porcelain Tile like Pompei Corol or with a Marble Tiles as a Crema Marfil Marble, please find the attachment with your references. Good luck !
hello my name is maria. I am doing my kitchen so far i have white cabinets brazzilian cherry floors. I am leanig towards blanco antigo countertops what kind of paint and backsplash shld i go with . thank you very mach
We are going with the Bianco Antico and dark brown/walnut cabinets. Any suggestions for a floor tile? We have dark hardwood flooring in the adjacent rooms.
Hi, I think that white cabinets against white veiny stone creates an elegant and clean design, which is popular right now. Regarding to the walls I'm leaning towards soft brown or sand beige colours, like in the attachment. Also you can take a look at Delicatus stone. Good luck !
I have white cabinets in my kitchen and have been considering Bianco Antico. How would it blend with either a creamy yellow or soft brown walls?
Good afternoon Holly. We did not install the backsplash tiles nor do we sell these backsplash tiles therefore your guess is as good as mine on what is the name of this tile. We only have information on the countertop that we ourselves installed.
Could you tell me the name of the tiles that were used for the backsplash in the first work example with the white cabinets? Is it offered through this company?
Hi Lisa. I'm so sorry to hear about the damage you experienced during Hurricane Sandy. On behalf of Marble.com, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult rebuilding process and time. In regard to your countertop selection, you are correct that the Santa Cecilia would complement your design elements quite nicely in terms of color tones. The Cecilia is a quite popular, timeless and classic selection. It's actually quite a safe choice, because although you are correct the pattern is busy, it's overall a consistent pattern which makes the countertops look sharp and elegant. I think you should reconsider as I truly feel it's an appropriate color for your set-up. I recommend to acquire samples of the stone so you can put them against the wood cabinet & floor in the kitchen light to see how you enjoy the combination in real life. Some other similar suggestions would be the Giallo Napoleone and perhaps Ouro Brasil. Hope this helps!
Thanks to Sandy we are totally renovating our kitchen. My brother has kindly given us honey/golden oak floors that we are installing this week. I picked from Woodharbor Custom Cabinetry a Cherry wood cabinet with a Cinnamon/Black glaze/stain. I am also planning on getting stainless steal appliances. I originally picked Santa Cecilia which blended very well with all the other colors. But now I am thinking thats too busy and predictable. I'm thinking now to go with alot more of a white color with a bit of silvers/grays/burgundy. Any suggestions for what I am working with? Thanks!
Yes, I think the elegant Bianco Antico would be a wonderful choice against your light cabinets. Also check out the Delicatus granite.
I have these warm but light color cabinet with terra cotta color tile floor, very small kitchen. Do you think bianco antico will work? See pix below

You're welcome! :-)
Hi Natalia, you advice is so helpful! Thank you so much!
No problem. Well, you can make the design lively with adding color to the backsplash choice. For example, some interesting choices would be Piano York Glass & Stone Mosaics, Tilecrest Eclipse series Espresso Linear & Glass Mosaics, or perhaps an Autumn Mist Tumbled Slate Mosaic. You could always just use a dark subway tile to contrast and offset the grayish design elements and this should be an inexpensive backsplash choice (example: Merola Cobble Noce Ceramic Subway Tile). I've attached photos for you to see.
Thank you Natalia. I would love to go with your suggestion, unfortunately it is a builder home, so the choice is very limited. I probably have to stick with the Bianco Antico granite. Do you have any other suggestion to make the kitchen more lively? Thank you so much for your help!
thanks again. will let you know how it turns out.
If you choose the darker Mascarello, then I am leaning a neutral, light backsplash tile that is not busy. Specifically, I recommend options such as Oyster Mix Flamed Travertine or Mediterranean Ivory Tumbled Travertine. I've attached photos for your easy side-by-side reference.
One more question. If I go with that darker Mascarello, any suggestion on kitchen back splash?
Sounds good. Let me know how everything turns out! :-)
thank you. We liked mascarello for darker appealing look and rustic highlights.. again, as you said.. we don;t want to overdo and destroy the look of kitchen!! we looked at colonial cream and colonial gold.. they have suitable colors like lighter stone with golden veins.. but, not very attractive as we don;t see large variations and highlights. I will checkout one more time. thank you again for your suggestion.
I agree with you -- I have also noticed that after studying the photo you've attached in your previous response. Your Mascarello granite batch has dark, deeply golden, rustic highlights that are dominant throughout the slab. Perhaps your fabricator has a lighter batch of Mascarello as well? It does not hurt to inquire about this. Just some food for thought. This is why it's important to see the slab in-person, because of this being natural stone, each delivery can change in color tone and pattern. You can also try the previously mentioned Siena Bordeaux instead as it's a lighter color. In addition, I also think colors from the Colonial family of granite would be appropriate (Colonial Cream, Colonial Gold, New Colonial Dream). Best of luck!
Only the contradiction is - the mascarello slabs I am picking are not light in color, they are darker side with lots of yellow and gold. Hope my kitchen doesn't look too dark and too much of gold!! do you think that pics looks good? or should I consider lighter granite with golden spots or burgendy spots as you said? Any suggestion on back tiles, I don;t want shiny back splash and main attraction is granite. thank you.
Hi Derek, such a prompt response, amazing.. thank you and really appreciate that a lot. I actually looked at slabs several times in person.. still in dilemma, I think I will agree very much with your suggestion. I put together the slabs I selected, wall with cabinets I have and flooring all those pics together in this photo.. I think as you suggested masacarello is looking much better, isn;t it? thank again.
Hello. I am leaning toward the Mascarello granite for your design situation out of the two choices you've mentioned, as the golden hues in this choice would pick-up the cabinets nicely and the light overall base is a great contrast to offset the cherry wood flooring. I also recommend to consider Siena Bordeaux and perhaps the Delicatus granite. You should look at the full slabs in-person before making any final decisions as this is when you are able to truly visualize the various slabs and how they will look exactly in your kitchen set-up. You should also acquire samples of your top choices to put them against the cabinets in the kitchen light so you can see how the various combinations look next to all of the design elements. You can use the process of elimination from there to choose the one you are attracted to the most. Hope this helps!
granite is for counter tops, large island and bathrooms counters. I wouldn;t worry much about wall coloring for selecting the granite sicne I can change kitchen color to something else later on. thank you and looking forward for the feedback.
Hi, I have Brazillian cherry flooring, medium oak cabinets, stainless appliances, greenish yellow colored walls in the kitchen.
I am debating between Mascarello and Bianco Antico. Worried that Bianco Antico might be totally off the color pattern as there is hardly any or no red and yellow stains in that. It is mostly while and silver as I see it.
Mascarello - has lots of gold and yellow, if I use that - is my kitchen is going to be too much of yellow and gold? can you help me with the decision? thank you.
sri
The Bianco Antico surely complements the grey cabinets and flooring very nicely, however I feel like it's becoming too much of a cold, neutral "match" with no pop, color, or life. If you just added a little bit of burgundy highlights in the slab, for example like the way Delicatus looks like, it would add some warmth to the design. In regard to a backsplash recommendation, take a look at options such as Anatolia Bliss Norwegian Ice Linear Mosaic, or Tilecrest Eclipse series Dunes Linear Glass & Stone mosaic blend. I've attached photos for your reference. Best of luck!
Hi, I have grey cabinets and grey floor, do you think Bianco Antico matches well with the grey cabinet? What kind of backsplash do you recommend? Thank you for your help.
For an appropriate backsplash tile to go against Bianco Antico granite and a dark wood element, I recommend Tilecrest Eclipse series Dunes Linear Glass & Stone Blend Mosaic, or something similar to a mosaic as such. I've attached a photo for your easy reference. Hope this helps!
Hi,
I need help please, I have hardwood floor in LR+FR like 1st picture, countertop Bianco Antico like 2nd, kitchen tiles like 3rd and cabinet kitchen like 4th, I really confuse when i chose the backplash for kitchen, please help, thank you very much!
Hi Rosemary! I think you should use a granite color that is light but also has warm highlights such as Delicatus White, Netuno Bordeaux, or Ibere Crema Bordeaux. The backsplash idea sounds lovely and specifically for the off-white subway I have Crema Marfil marble in mind. You should totally paint the island black for a stunning contrast.
You are definitely on the right track! I would recommend the Bianco Antico as it’s the warmest choice out of the 3. The off-white subway tile with the accent border sound like a perfect finishing touch. Great combination!
I need your help! We have satin Brazillian Tigerwood floors, ss appliances, off-white laminate painted cabinets and are wondering what colour granite/quartz countertop and backsplash we should buy. We are also thinking of painting/staining the island expresso or leaving it the same paint colour as the cabinets. We prefer a warm feel as there is no direct sunlight and winters can be rather dark. Bianco Antico, Kashmir White, Antique Brown are 3 of the colours we've leaning towards. For the backsplash, we were thinking of off-white subway tiles along with a strip of Bliss Random Linear tiles placed about 1/3 below wall cabinets
Appreciate your advice
That does indeed sounds like a beautiful combination. Congratulations!
The prices of our stone are based purely on supply and demand, not quality as we only carry top quality stones. When you visit the yard, our knowledgeable staff can take you to see the Bianco Antico, pick up a sample and browse the yard with you to find something similar or perhaps better! Make sure to bring a cabinet door and/or tile to help you narrow down your choices. Good luck!
For a warm feel, a tumbled Crema Marfil tile would look great in your space. For a contemporary design, a tumbled White Cararra would work well with your granite. However, because the stone is busy, I would recommend a neutral backsplash like limestone or SomerTile Bronze White Translucent Glass Mosaic Tile. Let me know what you think!
im coming to th NJ store today and i need to price out single or double blue granite. what is similar to the bianco antico in that price range what is the price difference in the stones
I have selected bianco antico as my countertop, I have antique white cabinets and a java island. do you have any suggestions for tumbled backsplash in a taupe and/or grayish tone?
Thanks!
Rocky
Yes, i think so. Go for it! Make sure to acquire samples of the Bianco granite and put it against your cabinet in the kitchen light to see how you enjoy the combination before making a final decision. Good luck!
I do not think using the Bianco Antico as a full backsplash would be too busy -- although it's not done often and you would have to visualize the combination clearly before making a final decision. Most clients go with a soft tumbled natural marble or a white, classic subway tile as backsplash options against the Antico. Your choice would certainly be unique and provide a flowing, continuous pattern to the countertop.
Thats sounds absolutley striking! I am using bianco antico with dark espresso cabinets and I love the contrast.
I am also redoing my kitchen my bottom cabinets are almost espresso but with alot of wood grain upper cabinets are stained with a sage grey green back splash has whites bieges browns and sage island is stained sage I am using bianco antico and it is going to be beautiful! all my appliances are stainless. everything does not need to be beige to work
Can I put Lennon with dk brown cabinets and dk brown handscraped wood floors and stainless steel appliances with travertine backsplash? Will this work? I keep seeing it paired with white and grey cabinets
loving bianco antico for my remodrling project. Cabinets are dark cherry.and appliances are white..Would using this granite as a backsplash be too much. Kitchen is large with moderat light.
I'm happy on your purchase of the Anatolia Bliss Cotton Wood, I feel it will look very pretty in combination with the Delicatus granite. Keep the grout light and neutral, the tile is already busy and you do not need a dark colored grout or anything like that. That's my opinion.
For the wall color, I'd use a neutral color such as Benjamin Moore Light Pewter or a similar shade to that. It's a timeless and classic color that guarantees beautiful elegance all the time, every time. You should visit a BM paint store if you have one in your area and experiment with the different shades. The sales representatives in the store should also be able to give you sound advice. Good luck!
Quartzite is quartzite, it's not marble, but it's not granite either. It's kind of in the middle of the two. We have had success installing this material in kitchens without any major issues. It does not etch like marble, but still has a possibility of staining if not sealed at least every six to twelve months. My recommendation for a quartzite would be our Classic White stone. In regard to backsplash if you use the stunning Bianco Antico, I'd say you could incorporate burgundy-like tones into the tile as an accent because the Antico has burgundy colored flecks within the slabs. Take a look at tile mosaics such as Piano River Glass & Stone from Somertile Reflections, or Teakwood Blend Rectangles from Dolce Vita. I've attached pictures for your reference. Hope this helps!
YIKES! In addition to my last question regarding the gtout color... I forgot to ask, what color paint would you suggest for the room?? Cherry wood cabinets, the BA granite, Anatolia Bliss Cotton Wood Linear Mosaic, the tile floors (pic above) and stainless steel appliances. thanks!!!!!
Derek, you do have wonderful ideas, thank you. I decided upon and ordered the Anatolia Bliss Cotton Wood Linear Mosaic today. I was was at your N.NJ location Saturday and they gave me samples of the BA to take w/ me. I then looked at all different backsplash options w/ the BA sample but I kept going back to my first choice (Anatolia Bliss Cotton Wood Linear Mosaic). I really hope that I love it!
Question...with that backsplash, what color grout would you use? I have to puchase grout and I'm a first time home remodeling rookie. I ordered the backsplash online so I didn't have any advice on grout color. Thank you!!
Help! Like many of the prior posters, I am remodeling my kitchen soup to nuts. I was planning on using a quartzite countertop to mimic marble. I have heard mixed reviews on the quartzite in terms of cost. Also, I have been told that the Super White Quartzite is actually marble. Huh? Then I found the Bianco Antico. I love it. However, I was planning on doing a light, cool green or yellow subway tile backplash. It sounds like Bianco Antico really only works with light, neutral backsplashes. Please tell me if there is a pop of color that would work with (and not fight with) the Bianco Antico granite. Many thans for your input!!
The Bianco Antico, depending on the shipment, will have subtle burgundy flecks throughout the stone, but it's usually not overwhelming. It's a nice way to pick-up these flecks with a burgundy accent in the backsplash, so you're on the right track. Delicatus is similar, I've created a Comparison Chart for you of these two stones, take a look here:
http://www.marble.com/material... It's a great idea that you're going to the yard to look at the full slabs in-person, as then you will be able to truly tell which stone attracts you more. Make sure to acquire samples to bring them back home and put them in the kitchen light against the cabinets to see how you enjoy the various combinations, before you make a final decision. As far as the backsplash goes, if you'd like a tile with more of those reddish burgundy tones, the one that you saw before, Anatolia Bliss Cotton Wood Linear Mosaic, is perfect for this situation. The only other option that I could find that would possibly work is a Terra Cotta blend of Glass Red mosaic, but I feel that the Anatolia is considerably nicer. I've still attached a picture of the Terra Cotta tile for you to see. Hope this helps.
They are both are very pretty. Being my cabinets are cherry doesnt there need to be burgundy/reds in the backsplash?? Theses tiles look in the brown family to me. I also thought Bianco Antico has bits of the burgundy in it. Someone also mentioned Delicatus (which I only saw in pictures) to be a good color w/ the cherrywood, what do you think?? The reason I fell for the BA is because it has those big crystal pieces in it, I was told Delicatus has this also...I think its called mecca?? I'm going to your N. NJ location tomorrow to pick something and wanted some input prior. I want the granite to have these clusters of the crystal in it and at the same time possible little pieces of reds/burgundy to pick up from the cabinets. all the while getting a backsplash that compliments it all.
I'll give you a some hopefully interesting suggestions for the backsplash tile that could pick-up and compliment your Bianco Antico choice quite nicely. Consider options such as Mirabelle Collection smoky brown glass tile in a brick pattern, or a neutral Glass & Stone mosaic strip by South Shore Flooring. I've attached pictures for your reference. Let me know your thoughts!
That sounds great. I have nothing to suggest, as you're doing very well. This sounds like a balanced combination of elements and color tones that will play off each other and compliment nicely. Upload a picture once it's completed! Good luck!
Thank you, Derek...you, and a designer friend both confirmed what I was fearing. The lovely sage glass is a no-go. We are leaning now toward a cream/light tan colored porcelain subway with the same decorative 6" tile (also in cream) along with a beading in the same cream. It will be decorative but understated and will accent rather than fight with the bianco. I actually prefer some movement with the bianco so, hopefully, the simple backsplash and warm white cabinets will let it shine~ Now, my only concerns are in mixing whites and cream ....since the bianco has both, I think it will work as long as I stay away from a very stark white. (but two of my appliances will be white until I can replace them...) Any thoughts?
You're on the right track. My only worry is that the light green hues of the subwaytile could clash with the color tones of the Bianco granite. On the aspect of movement, I do not think the design will be too busy. I'd pick a lot of Bianco that is light and calm, as you can see on our page we have multiple shipments that vary in veining and movement quite greatly.
You're on the right track Jodi!
I'm thinking of using bianco antico for our counters with a muted sage green crackled glass (large subway tile) backsplash. Our cabinets will be acacia white (not stark) and the subway tile will be broken up here and there with a white porcelain decorative 6" square tile. I'm wondering if the colors (sage green and bianco) will fight and if the sparkle of the cracked glass will compete with the sparkle of the granite and be too busy overall...any thoughts? I'll try to attach a pic. Also...our floor will be a mocha travertine. Thank you!
Question 2: I would like Rainforest Brown marble in my master bath. Should I go with espresso or antique white cabinets?
Thanks in advance!

The Bianco Antico is a very popular and highly sought after stone. It would look lovely with oak cabinets but I’m not so sure about red walls. The slight burgundy flecks found in the stone tend to look more mocha or almost chocolate brown instead of a red. Red paint is intense and it will take away from the beauty of the stone. If you want to use this classic granite, consider changing your wall color to something softer like Benjamin Moore’s warm “Harmony” or cool “Whirlpool”. Let me know what you think!
Thanks,
Lisa
