Thank you for your images Abi, This is an example of what you could do with wall tiles, in this kitchen it is positioned in a chevron setting to provide a visual texture and in turn interest. However yes it could turn out to be a time consuming and costly process. Although this image is not an example of a galley kitchen and what you are after, it is just an idea of what could be done with tiles. A simple suggestion for your dilemma however would be to tile the walls in a horizontal position and it does not have to be in the same direction as the floor. Again, please do move the samples around yourself to see what looks best. Hope this helped you a little and trust the kitchen will turn out to be absolutely gorgeous. Good Luck

Thanks Sophie, we finally bought the 600 x 600 as we loved it do much, with similar colour grout I think it would be fine. what are your thoughts on the grout? We are doing an inside floor and flowing into the outside patio with the same porcelain stone, except one is an outdoor rougher finish. But... we've been told that the laying of the stone outdoor needs a 4mm grout line minimum, preferably 5mm for outside, but the inside we were hoping for 2 or 3, but then it will look like its a mistake, and different if the grout sizes are different and the tiles wont obviously line up.. so now we're not sure how to lay them, either next to each other, or in a brick tile fashion, and now what do we do about grout? Same inside and out maybe a 4mm for both, or smaller inside and larger outside? This is all Too confusing, what do most people do?.. we're also not sure if we need expansion joints anywhere else? We currently have them at the join (between ply and concrete base) and doorways, but not sure if needed anywhere else? we have a good strong flat base, and de coupling matt too and flexible adhesive is that enough? Apologies so many questions..

Thanks Sarah. Funnily enough I bought a sample of this exact tile, but when they arrived, they are totally slippy and not suitable for outside use (even though the pic implies they are 😡). This is what is totally frustrating when trying to find something appropriate. They showcase them in a location that makes it look like what you want to use them for, but on closer inspection, it doesn’t seem to be the case. Another of those, it looks great on instagram but isn’t practical when it comes to actual usage. I really don’t want a plain grey/beige porcelain tile but I’m starting to wonder if I’m trying to find something that isn’t actually available in this country. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi Sue, They're all beautiful tiles in their own right, and while each of the patterns is different, all of them fit with an overall aesthetic that works coherently together, tied together by the more neutral planks. Difficult to give anything more than a very general opinion without seeing a floorplan with your expectation of which tile goes where. As a general rule, as long as each of those patterns is far enough away and not too obviously visible with the other patterns, then all should be fine. If you can, upload a floorplan, showing the different tile areas with different colours/hatching. But for what it's worth, I'm a fan of opulent patterns too...
