Glass Tile Backsplash Options For An Elegant Kitchen

Posts Tagged ‘stainless appliances’

ok, everyone has been a big help so here goes…i just put in brazilian teak floors and painted cabinets cream color…put in stainless appliances that are still showing some black…i’m picking the granite countertops through granite transformations…picked ‘terra ombra’ which is brown, black, cream specks…any suggestions if this may be too dark? i have a small kitchen but a sliding glass door and decent light. thanks again…oh, doing 4×4 cream tiles as backsplash to keep it simple…

Due to some water damage we have had to completely re-do our kitchen. I made some decisions based on the fact that our floors, which were all white ceramic tile were not going to have to be replaced. Our kitchen is VERY small. Probably around 10 x 11. So, with the white floors I didn’t want dark cabinets b/c I was afraid that it would make the room look smaller. So, I decided on some cabinets that were sage green. I got a contemporary looking cabinet face with brushed nickel pulls. We are getting stainless appliances. I am going to get a charcoal/blackish tile countertop. The tiles are 12 x 12 and look really nice with a dark grout. I really could care less about granite and really can’t afford it anyway. They ended up having to replace my floors after I had already ordered the green cabinets. So, I got white with just a hint of marbled gray in there. I have read that dark countertops with white floors are really in right now and I think it will look really sharp. I want to do a nice backsplash…was considering just getting white subway tiles. I am trying to tie together the colors of the kitchen together with the backsplash. So, I have white, dark grey/black and sage green. I was thinking of using the white subway tiles with some small green glass pieces mixed in. Does anyone have any thoughts or pictures they can share that will help me. It’s so hard to visualize this stuff without having seen it first. I am so bad at this. Thanks!

Just painted my cabinets cream color, installed stainless appliances, a brazilian teak floor and black/brownish granite countertops. What size tiles for the backsplash? I don’t want a big statement, just simple cream tiles. Thanks

I’m finally getting rid of my 1961 kitchen and can’t make up my mind! I have hard oak floors throughout the house..including the dining room which is open to the kitchen. I’d like to put in cork floors (& be somewhat "green" in my remodeling) in the kitchen and think it would blend nice with the oak floors (unless someone thinks of something else?) I can’t decide what would look better..maple or natural cherry cabinets. The kitchen is only 10×13 and will be putting in 40" cabinets since I have a cathedral ceiling…does cherry and oak clash? Too much natural wood tones going on? I’d like to put a apron front / farm sink in, granite countertops and tin backsplash..those I do know I want… I need a professional designer but that’s definately not in the budget. All opinions and suggestions are welcome….I have to order cabinets within 2 weeks!!! Thanks All !!
I can’t go too modern with a house full of antiques..i’m in the country and am shooting for a modern/classic/simple country feel..with stainless appliances of course. I did not want oak cabinets, but with oak floors it makes sense. it’s a starter house and resale is everything..what do people like?
