Kitchen Color Ideas. White cabinets, beige tile floor, what color countertop/paint/backsplash?

Kitchen remodel. Painting cabinets high gloss white, installing a shiny beige marble type tile for flooring, looking at a dark gray countertop. Also hoping to do 1 x 1 light blue glass mosiac tile backsplash and paint the walls a corresponding blue color. But not really sure if all of that clashes with the beige floor. Should I be going in a different direction? Also, the rest of the main floor is a deep gold tan with red accents and mahogany furniture. It's pretty dark. Would the kitchen clash with the rest of the house? Opinions? The only thing that is definite is the white color of the cabinets and the beige tile floor, everything else is unpurchased. Thanks in advance!!Kitchen Color Ideas. White cabinets, beige tile floor, what color countertop/paint/backsplash?
I would stick with a beige countertop as well to keep it nutural in case you decide to sell your home. Then I would incorporate your other colors , tan and red as accent colors, such as paint, curtains, placemats, floor rugs, chair pads, etc. Also, I would do the backsplash in the gold/tan color. You could still incorporate blue into your accessories.Kitchen Color Ideas. White cabinets, beige tile floor, what color countertop/paint/backsplash?
I think consider the colors of the rest of the house, I'd go in a different direction than the grey counter tops since you have the beige flooring. Consider a counter top in the beige family that looks similar to your flooring but also has some white and chocolate veining in it to tie not only with your white cabinets and flooring, but also the rest of the dark rich colors in your house by the dark chocolate color. And I'd paint the walls a sage green or dark moss color to help the counters, cabinets and floor really pop. Instead of the blue mosiac tiles, consider mosiac tiles in the green color family.

According to the Behr paint website, some colors that will coordinate well with Harvest Brown are:





Poppy Glow (# 250B-6) -- my personal fave





grasshopper wing (#400F-6) -- this is a dark moss green





restful (# 400F-4) -- more of a sage





nature retreat (# 730F-5)





Marsh creek (# 480F-5)





gypsy magic (# 100F-5)





windsor haze (# 560F-6)





bleached denim (# 560F-5)





Fudge bar (# 250F-5)
Honestly speaking you have too much going on already!


if you have white cabinet stay away from beige stay within the cool colours ,opt for a light grey counter top since you are putting blue tiles on the back splash ,go for a white and gray floor finish instead. unless this kitchen is closed you should go this way, but if it's an open concept it will clash with the warm tones then you must reconsider the kitchen cabinets and go with a beige instead, in that case you will need warm colour , like red, browns , beige. Get some paint chips and put them together side by side and you will see the difference or if you like a fabric pick the colours out of that .
