We are in the middle of a kitchen Reno. We are using American woodmark maple rye cabinets, a white fireclay farmhouse sink. Counters will be white marbled quartz w gold threading. Floor is light wood (oak with bona nordicseal). We have a matte black commercial style faucet. Black trim (lighting fixtures, outlets, cabinet handles, etc).

We both prefer the black tiles shown, but are concerned that even though they are reflective, the faucet is going to get lost. Is that a fair concern? The white is our other option, which we are fine with but would prefer black.

Hi! My fiancé and I finally had our offer accepted on our first home!

It’s new construction and we got in early enough to pick out some finishes. I’m not a huge fan of new builds, and the basic look all of them have.

Some parts of the kitchen were already decided for us

• white cabinets

• white/grey/ black granite counter tops

We want our home to be warm with some deep tones// our furniture and things are all light tans, natural woods, golds, greens, black accents, dark yellows and blush

We wanted to pick a green backsplash but felt like that may take away the opportunity to have more freedom with color in the home

So we picked this beautiful black backsplash, but now the fiancé is having second thoughts on it being too bold.

The tile is matte black picket, would be laid vertical, and it’s got a wavy texture to it (pictured tile does not)

Included photos of the space I don’t have updated photos of the cabinets, but cabinets are placed in an L shape with a pantry in the middle and an island.

The kitchen/ living room is very bright, large windows.

Hoping to convince her otherwise, what do you all think?
