You're welcome! This is an exciting project and I really hope you'll share the results, whatever you decide to do! I think metro tiles are the right way to go. You've already got pattern and bold colour covered so something more simple is probably right for the walls. Besides, it's a classic design. You could do it with a dark grout if you wanted to make a bolder statement. [This Houzz story[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/decorating-10-different-ways-to-use-classic-metro-tiles-stsetivw-vs~25104664) about metro tiles shows them mostly with dark grout and might help you visualise it. Marble would definitely work and look incredible. Just be careful to bear in mind the structure of the unit and how much weight it can hold. You have to consider the weight of the surface material, the sink, and the water it would have in it when full. Maybe even think about what you're going to fill the cupboards with and how heavy that could be. Perhaps it would be worth reinforcing the vanity in some way. Other than marble you could use tiles or just varnish the surface really well. All of these options will look great in different ways. Even though you're not DIY-ing it, take a look at this "how-to" to give you a better idea of the process.

I have the Eternity brand of LVT fitted in my kitchen and it’s brilliant. My son has a different brand but it’s not one of the more well known and expensive brands. Personally I wouldn’t pay for a well known branded name if the cost was substantially higher. We had ours fitted by a flooring company as it does need fitting correctly. I watched him lay it and there is a knack. I steam mop mine. LVT is suggested for bathrooms.

I‘m assuming it’s a suspended timber floor? You do have to take into consideration movement in timber floors but this can be greatly reduced by remedial work on the subfloor and the correct floor build-up. E.g: - Sistering/replacing damaged, bowed/sunken joists - Adding noggings to stiffen floor - Replacing floorboards with T&G plywood sheeting (minimum 18mm). Ends should fall on joists, glued and screw down. - Adding tile backer like Hardiebacker or DITRA matting, the latter of which has a decoupling membrane that is supposed to prevent subfloor movement from affecting the tiles.

I remember a friend once saying black tiles showed the dirt very easily and needed cleaning more often. All the images of the dark tiles show them used with a light coloured grout which would be needed to show the shape of the tile. I would go for a hexagonal shaped tile if that is what you like. Everything dates eventually. I think a brick tile pattern is now a bit dated. I think either of the lighter shades would look great
