Kitchen cabinets and countertops often determine the backsplash instead of the other way around. Reddit user u/Alert-Delivery7845 discovered that after installing Fabuwood Slim Shaker cabinets in Pistachio and Dove with Blue Mediterraneo quartzite countertops.

Yellow walls, patterned square backsplash tile, white laminate counters, and white appliances added several more finishes to the compact room. @hierathc Courtney Hierath wanted a new look without replacing cabinets that were still in good condition.

After cleaning the hearth, they found green-brown tones within the old tile pattern. Those small squares became the reference point for a much bigger color decision.
