Suprema Touch of Gray

Countertops

The wallpaper mural in the dining area, visible from the kitchen - I share this because the kitchen flows into this area.

Something like these, i.e., silvery, watery, not too small a format:

You know what I would do? Find a tile that pulls out the blue-y or green-y grey in your mural (which is fabulous!) and do a tile in that subtly color.

Try searching Encore Ceramics for Glacier and Smoke (colors). Frost series seems like a possibility.
Sorry, ws trying to show just the tile labeled "Frost" and suggest colors.

Can't offer any help with bs but just had to comment on the beautiful elements.

Love your kitchen and your mural.

I like pale, pale blue, and this one is balanced by the taupe-y color. Seems to blend with your mural.

Gray glass over a marble countertop similar to yours. Perhaps a darker impression than you were thinking but I like the contrast.

I really like artistic tile you picked but not for the kitchen. I actually looked at their tiles in person and some of them really look like they are bathroom tiles only ...

The kitchen in the sixth photo down reminds me of yours. Soft, subtle light gray doesn't take away from your rich details.

I loooove the very first tile sherryocala posted! It has a very watercolor feel that ties in with the mural beautifully, and that color is perfect. If you could combime the colors of the first with the sjape and pattern of sherryocalas favorite that would be the ultimate backsplash!

It's such a gorgeous kitchen. Of the ones you posted I like the one you'd do in herringbone.

Can I ask where you got the beautiful wallpaper mural?

Another option to introduce a herringbone pattern. Is there any color other than silver/gray you are considering?

Your kitchen is very nice. I also like the Suprema touch of grey. Have you looked at Walker Zanger Gramercy Park in pipe smoke. I also saw their ceramic tiles that are called the Cafe line in colors Earl Grey or Milk. I think something like any of those would look nice.

I love the Suprema Touch of Gray either like the picture or herringbone. I also think a simple white tile would be pretty if you don't want to commit to gray.

Thank you all so kindly for your feedback & nice compliments! I really appreciate all the feedback. I'm going to get some samples of various tiles ordered this week. I think my heart is really leaning towards herringbone. I'm not married to gray, per se, but I know a bright white won't work. I think a creamier one will fade into the background, which I know we don't want.

The mural is called A Clouded Mural from Anewall. They were incredible to deal with. It's printed in Canada & quite reasonable if you use a coupon, which they frequently have. They did ours in a custom size. My mom has been installing wallpaper for over 40 years in numerous homes she's owned. She said it's one of the nicest quality she has ever worked with. I found them through (take a wild guess...) Pinterest!

I will keep you posted & whip up some mock Photoshop BS in the coming days.

Thanks again!
