Hi guys.

I'm at a blur here... hoping you guys can help. I suck with colours. rclxub.gif

I still have not picked out the tiles for the small 2ft wide area between my base cabinets and wall cabinets.

To give you an idea... my base cabinets will be red and wall cabinets will be white. Floor is a dark grey.

I'm thinking of mosaic tiles. Have seen the red, white and black mosaic but after looking for 5 minutes, give me a headache. hahaha... looks "too busy"... if you know what I mean.

Any suggestions guys? At this point in time, I'm just thinking to just put plain white 2 x 2 mosaic tiles.

Thanks guys.

Use back dark grey or black. Why not use glass Kote instead of tiles?

Consider using 3G class that the cabinet makers use for the kitchen cabinet. It could be cut to size, easy wipe off.
If add light to your wall cabinet underside, double the brightness.

Also double the work to clean it. Glass gets dirty very easily and when it does, its like a freaking huge mole on the face. Tiles less obvious.

Maintenance wise yes.. But tiles also has their downside. The grouting will get dirty over year, esp in the kitchen area.
