Some tiles can be popped out for a constrasting color like mother of pearl, colored glass, etc...

One design feature I love is when these tiles are done on the backsplash and above the cabinet to the ceiling.


As for the bathroom. How about some wood paneling above the tile area like a sauna? A large framed mirror could replace where the pictures are currently. You could consider wall paper as sell. It looks really plain as it is. You could also do 12" stone tiles in light grey. Personally, I do not like dark bathrooms, so I would keep the palette light.

I should have noted the appliances in this picture are being updated to stainless steel and the countertops are being changed to solid surface that will darken the room a bit. Also, the stuff in the bathroom was just there from the seller while they were showing it and isn't there now.
