I love the darker floors but not sure they would work? Thinking white cabinets.

I did that Arabesque tile in a kitchen and didn’t love it- our tile installer wasn’t precise with spacers and that shape reallly showed his error. We did navy under white painted cabinets with stone that had less movement. All champagne brass accents. People loved it when we sold. I like your color palette but I’d go with a more classic tile shape.

If that’s natural marble and not something manmade, it can stain. Be sure to re-seal it often and be extra careful about getting things like red wine around it.

I love the tiles but the wood and marble are more complimentary to each other. They play off each other nicely, the tiles just aren’t quite talking to the other two.
The darker backsplash will look like an odd belt on your kitchen… like say you have an all white outfit on then accessorize it with a heavy grey belt..,. It cuts a person in half and It cuts the kitchen in half making it look shorter than what it is. You want that flow from the bottom to the top… so with white cabinets, that Quartz, with the Calacatta gold marble backsplash and white upper cabinets it will have a nice flow to it.
The Calacatta gold marble backsplash also brings some of the warmth of your floors up pulling in those colors.

no to the tiles IMO

You’re kind-of tripling up on details. You need a softer, lighter floor with a more subtle bench in order to suit those tiles (if that’s the pattern you like) having 3 or even 2 of these items will clash too much and look busy. Pick 1 that you like the most and use other materials to compliment it.

Grey stained wood might look better with that tile and backsplash. The colors you choose don’t go together. You want either all browns and tans or grey, black, and white. I would never mix the 2 color schemes together. It never ends well

So I would want to do a [Calacatta gold marble](https://www.tileclub.com/products/calacatta-gold-arabesque-mosaic-tile?variant=37149203726487&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkZiFBhD9ARIsAGxFX8DVTccgTf–EehHatAWBcSdvOT7mDtnNq1K8JXlnFaquOJKZMyE-NkaAn3YEALw_wcB) backsplash or a Carrara marble backsplash.
