Kitchens Design Dilemma

What color tile should I choose with a black kitchen?

4 years ago

We're getting a new kitchen and I really like it to be one with black kabinets and a walnut countertop. I just can't figure out if I should go with a white subway or something more interesting. Any ideas?

I presume you mean wall tile as opposed to floor tile? If so what’s on the floor?

To bounce back some light how about the crackle glaze pale hues with texture such as these:

I must admit I am scratching my head a bit on this one - the two slightly different shades of cream don't make it easy! If everything wasn't split new, I think I would be recommending changing the tiles. I'm not a fan of painting tiles either, but I am really at a loss as to what to suggest. A teal perhaps or verdigris, but I think whatever colour you pick, the tile/cabinet combination may still feel a little unbalanced. Might be worth thinking what you can do to mask the tiles with nicely coloured appliances, possibly an accessory rail, fruit bowl, plants/herbs etc.

Most people have different flooring in the kitchen/diner when compared to other parts of the house (even in posh house magazines), I‘d use something completely different ie a tiled floor maybe in a natural stone so it compliments the wood or you coukd use a Karnden but laid in a herringbone pattern. Personally i think its better to be completely different rather than trying to tie it in and not getting it completely right. In my old house we had oak floor throughout then a granite in the kitchen/diner i never even noticed it. Good luck

Hi, what will be on the floor? Definitely get samples of the colours you like first, paint some large pieces of cardboard with it and look at them in the light of your actual kitchen. This is Purbeck Stone with Mole's Breath You could paint the walls Ammonite, Cornforth White or Wevet. I'd go for a light coloured Quartz worktop, but again, I would look at samples and hold them together with your chosen paint colours.

Something more interesting! There are such a huge array of tiles available that you can have something lovely. As the units and worktop are dark I would go with a light palette. Hexagonal tiles are lovely. If you wanted subway tiles you could lay then in a more interesting way such as herringbone (better with slim subways) or upright, like below
