I like blues and browns and beiges with maple floors.

I would consider a tile mix like the link below (not perfect colors) for a short backsplash.

No. This will make your space look small, looks cheap, will go out of style and is too busy for a small kitchen.

Colors like this could work (different tile type)....

PP. It depends on the kitchen. I agree it could become dated. But I would like to see color. White on white on white is boring.

OP is asking for clean and classic. The above link would work well, as would the PP's Tilebar Montauk sand color. Add richness with brass hardware.

Everything else linked is modern and trendy and will look cheap in a small white kitchen with clearly inexpensive cabinets and countertops.

Yes, but stacked not staggered.

Cloe and Celine tiles by bedrosians are really popular examples of this trend, either stacked horizontally, vertically, or in herringbone.

Personally, I think people will get sick of this look, I know I already am

Well, if you look at it that way, anything OP buys is going to be dated in max of 10 years anyway.

No kitchen stays timeless. Unless it's in some extremely period style like Country French.

What about white, but with a dark grout?

[Anonymous]

You don’t want to go for small tiles in a small kitchen, as that looks busy and makes the space look even smaller.

[Anonymous]

I would go with blue. White and blue is classic.

It will look like an operating room.

+1 I don't see anything I like on the links above yet (not a design maven, but into aesthetics).

The point is to not pick something already dated like those glass mosaic tiles, and to resist picking something just because you see it everywhere right now(zellige). Pick something that you will love to see every day. I chose a fluted tile that has never been trendy in the past and is not trendy now, but I love the way it looks.
