Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Jul 16, 2009 12:02 pm Hello, I need suggestions for the kitchen scheme I have in mind for our house. My kitchen benchtop is "C" shaped and it will be black granite. Cupboards will be "Cherry Red" laminate to give it a woody, warm feel. What tiles will go on the walls ie. adjacent to gas cooktop and sink? The guys at tile shop told me that "White" plain tiles would look fine. Its a bit difficult to imagine it. Does anyone have better ideas to make it look more better or should I stick with white plain tiles only. Please let me know your suggestions. Thanks a lot, ET.

You could also go a checkered tile look with dark greys (similar to this picture Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Need suggestions for tiles to go with Black granite benchtop 4Jul 16, 2009 9:02 pm Just did my tile selction today (ish.... pending a decision on my splashback tile!! ) I fell in love with the 1000mm x 600mm polished porcelain tile laid vertically so that you get a seamless finish that will look like glass splashback, only nicer with granite as it is a warmer finish (or in my case ceasarstone). My only reason for not immediately going that way is that it will cost me $1100 more than my included price as my splashback height is 700mm and so I will waste 300mm per tile cut So looking at white tile also (rectangular) and having 100 x 100 stainless steel tile down the centre. Seriously, check out the large porcelain tile!!!

White tiles with a feature tile is also nice. These pictures give me inspiration and I can explore some more options from tile shop over the weekend. Hi Suh, Thanks for replying back...I did try to google for "champagne" color tiles. Is it somewhat like light light brown shades and with glossy look ? Pls do let me know. Cheers, ET Re: Need suggestions for tiles to go with Black granite benchtop 7Jul 18, 2009 3:12 pm My opinion is that if you are having the warm cherry colour and black granite, white tiles will look to stark. I think a creamy beige coloured splashback will look nice. Very similar to that first pic. Hi, Looking to add an ensuite to one of the bedrooms and make it a Master BR.
