Trying to select floor tile to match kitchen and rest of downstairs living area (dining, living, family rooms). I have a lot of natural light in all areas. I have light oak kitchen cabinets. I just installed granite counter tops named Golden Desire but I have yet to install tile back splash. What color tile would I choose for the kitchen and throughout the living area. Thanks
A natural stone look tile will look good for years to come and still remain neutral to work around. Sofas, chairs, paints ,wall paper etc..Some larger tiles( 12x12 and larger) come w/ a small (6x6 for example) to do on your backsplash. Tossing in some scrape granite in your BS to tie counter in w/ BS.. Some interesting changes you might loo at is to change to a different color of tile at doorways/ archway but stay in the same tile style just a different color of the same tile. Tou can break it up at arch/door w/ a stone listello to add a cheap flair GL
Take pieces of the things to which you are committed and get thee to a large tile store. Go for the match and also check for contrast. You may surprise yourself and like the unexpected. Think about your soft good (fabric items) as you will have to find compatible fabrics to make it all work together. Taking samples of everything is really important, as your eye will not recall the subtleties. No one can possibly give a color answer here, as there are an infinite number of possibilities within a single color, some of them correct, others very very jarring to the eye when it all comes together. If part of your question is whether to select the same tile for both areas, my suggestion is usually, YES, to avoid the appearance of a hodge podge patchwork quilt.
Golden Desire tile back splash or close. kitchen light Tile . throughout the living area some thing that blends but not off the wall to the kitchen floor.
go okorder they have more tile at reasonable prices i use them alot(and no i don't receive anything for recommendations) look at the glass tile selections when choosing your backsplash-i really love the look and use it quite often in my designs .you can order samples too which you can use to order from your local retailer if desired good luck
