Jennifer Adams, our interior design pro, answers this reader\u2019s kitchen remodeling question after a hurricane hit her home.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Question:\u00a0 We were flooded during the hurricane and have to rebuild most of our house. My kitchen has bamboo floors, alabaster white cabinets and Blanco Azul granite with black stainless steel appliances and stainless handles. I am trying to figure out a good backsplash to tie it all together. Any help would be great.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether your countertop patterning is dramatic and bold or quieter and more textural, a backsplash that is simple will be better. Oversized rectangular tiles in light tones to match the whites in your granite, along with matching grout, will look great. For a more textural approach, choose a monotone tile mosaic in whites or pale grays. Even classic subway tile with gray grout will bring in a bit of pattern without being over the top or competing with your granite.<\/p>\n<p>For a finishing touch, tie in the bamboo tones throughout your kitchen with accessories and art in the same color.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">&#8211;
