Question:

Paint tiles!!!?

The kitchen I want to order is a light cream/beige color. The tiles in my kitchen which would also be the backsplash are white. Does light cream and white work together? The counter top would be a grainy white and cream color. I wanted another countertop but it is not available. Should I paint the tiles? And if so how? Thanks

Answer:

There is paint available for tiles,but I would be Leary of using them in a kitchen that requires so much use of cleaning products.I see no problem with with the white tiles Look for a rug that contains white,beige and perhaps a darker color of brown,You don't want everything to be one homogenized color.Bring in white accessories,like canisters.
Yes you can paint tiles! And you spray it on!
It sounds to me like it will go well together. If you're going to paint the tiles, I think it will have to be spraypaint, for them to still have a nice smooth finish. And I think even then, it won't be long before the paint starts to peel off. Tiles just don't take paint or even primer very well.
Painted tiles will never look as good as the original finish and will probably not wear well either, since there is white in your countertop, I would just leave the tiles as they are. You could remove some of the tiles and put in accent tiles that match your new color scheme to help pull it all together. The sell the grout knives and cutter you would need at the tile section of your larger hardware stores. Tape the surrounding tiles to avoid scratching when removing one.
Keep the tiles and change the grout color instead since its cheaper to change the grout its a great way to make the tiles work for you... If you choose to paint use the same paint that you would use for the tub..There are drawbacks to painting. you will not get a nice finish unless you use the proper brush.. or roller..
