Hi. My kitchen is cornforth White (pale grey) with island railings (navy)
I was always getting brick tiles behind cooker. But fancy these navy and white floral patterned ones. But do they go with grey kitchen and floor tiles. Also there's black on cooker top.

Help!!! More tiling issues!!!!! Kitchen backsplash this time...
Comments (32)Tiles are one way to introduce some pops of colour in your kitchen. If you are worried about the grout discolouring, use epoxy grout which is more resilient to liquid staining. Also, if you use a coloured grout, discolouration will be less noticeable. If you choose textured tiles with rectilinear edges, grout lines are almost invisible. Using tiles can look more traditional compared to glass or stainless steel. The problem with stainless steel is keeping it looking good. Drip marks and grease are instantly noticeable. Glass is less obvious when splashed. They are both more industrial and modern looking. What about using the same material that makes up your worktop as the splashback? Most manufacturers of manmade worktops also do an 11mm thick splashback and upstand....See MoreHelp choosing tiles for flooring in my new kitchen??
Comments (50)Hi Getty Welty What a shame about the worktop but I think it's almost a blessing in disguise. Once you have settled on the worktop my advice would be to take samples of the cupboards & worktop to a tile shop and look at them altogether. You really need to see a large tile together with the other samples to appreciate the overall look. A 10 x 10 sample is only a representation of the whole tile and the colour changes on a larger scale. We always advise our customers to do that if possible as its really important to make sure the overall tones work well together. Good luck with it all Karen...See MoreHelp sourcing tiles
Comments (4)Hi minnie, I've just ordered the latte oblique mix range from Mandarin Stone, but they also come in a dark grey which I think are quite similar to your photo: https://www.mandarinstone.com/product/oblique-dark-grey-base-porcelain/...See MoreHelp with tiling query pls !!
Comments (8)I would just cut the bottom tiles, it's common to have your cuts on the bottom and your full tile at the top. You could also consider an up stand instead, less tiling and cutting. You could even consider acrylic cut to size in a colour of your choice and make a feature of it, it may look nicer than a half tile. Are you planning to cut the unit down on the right? I presume it's a slightly taller than average unit, which is why the work top ended up a little higher than you want. We're tall and hate our work tops 890mn , we're stuck with our kitchen now, but in future would have higher ones. Our Utility is much higher as we have American Machines, perfect. Everyones' different!...See More

7 years agoGreat kitchen! I am just about to fit a similar kitchen in my house. I have been thinking about stiffkey blue and cornforth white. It will be a very light room with lots of Windows and I am a bit unsure about the blue. It's good to see railings on your island, it does look more blue in your light. I have railings in my bathroom and it looks very dark in there, fab but nearly black. Do you think in a bright room the railings is a good blue choice? Did you think about Hague Blue at all?
