Funky green wall tiles

Markham Webber Design Ribble Valley

7 years ago

this is for my own personal kitchen. I'm after some emerald green wall tiles. I've had a sample from cementtiles.com and its not 'quite' what I'm looking for and the Moroccan stuff is very thick (as in deep) as a wall tile.. Any tile suppliers out there have anything? I know exactly what I'm looking for - when I see it!

Kitchen needs splashback funky touch

Hi there! Looks like you've got a great space there and a lively splashback would definitely spark things up. Here's two Ideabooks, one on choosing the perfect splashback and another on punchy personality-fuelled splashbacks which might help provide a little inspiration for you when you're looking! I'm a big fan of tiles and mosaics myself, so always worth having a browse along those lines :) https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/how-to-choose-the-perfect-splashback-stsetivw-vs~45386462 https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/splashbacks-with-punch-and-personality-stsetivw-vs~25621711 Hope that helps!

Help!!! Off-white hex floor tiles clash with white wall tiles/plumbing
Q
Comments (39)
Jonathandb1972, I was thinking of going with a grout that is the same colour or lighter than the grey tile. The hex will be grouted in a medium grey. This has already been done in the loo (the hex) and looks great. Neither are grouted in the above picture. Do you think there will still be issues with where the grout lines are if they are the same or lighter than the tile? Also, where the hex tile in the shower meets the grey tile will mainly be covered by the shower's profile. However, the shower only goes up to about 2m, so there will still be a visible "meeting" of tiles above that. My builder is a little concerned about how this will look as he will have to cut small pieces of tile to fill up the edge, which may stain once they start grouting. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best...

Need help choosing wall tiles in kitchen
Q

Well further to my earlier comments I cannot get my husband to agree on a neutral scheme for the tiles on our utility room and kitchens (units all light grey with a dark grey island) and white sparkle quartz worktops. I was looking at Chevrons from the Equipe Range that come in Dark Grey/Light Grey/Black/Griege and some pastels. Hubby prefers colour, green or blues and I want neurtals so can add pops of colour in the blinds and curtains in the areas adjoining the kitchen (dining/snug sitting room), also dining chairs, rug etc. It makes my head go crazy trying to visualise coloured wall tiles in all of this (perhaps apart from the splash back around the cooker area). Has anyone done this successfully with coloured tiles (I think patterns too much). I thought the chevrons with a different colour grout (dark grey tile/white grout etc) looked good, as below. Colours in rest of the house because we have a lot of oak will be teals, blues with a few other pops of bright colours. Thanks in advance!

Struggling to achieve a garden design for our funky plot

Just an observation but the examples Luciana provided all play off the 45 degree landscaping idea shared by HU-... I think the reason these angles work is that they widen the look of the space they carve out, and invite you into it. The angles almost encourage you to pause for a moment and appreciate your surroundings. They help create mini rooms within the space and each can have a slightly different character or feature, even though the whole is tied together with a pared back planting scheme and clever consistency of stone colour. What stood out most to me about your current garden is how it's central path leads your eye straight to the back of the garden. I imagine that when standing in the space, the path is subconsciously urging you to make your way down to the bottom of the garden. The danger is that, it keeps your eyes focused forwards, meaning you may not actually take a moment to pause/ take in the garden that surrounds you and truly appreciate the wonderful pleached conifers and planting you have put in. I fear that a pagoda that borders such a path (even if in a different location) may only serve to reinforce the effect; a fountain at the end of this, even more so. The series of landscaping at a 45 angle helps counter act this and Luciana's example shows how this can be done quite subtly. I would encourage you to think about how to incorporate the fountain and pagoda around and within the 45 degree offset "rooms" created by the examples Luciana shared above. I notice that they are mainly bordered by formal planting, however, one area, towards the back is actually boarded by a pagoda. Incorporating some climbing plants in and around such a pagoda would give you a lovely area of shade, perhaps for seating and entertaining. The fountain might be a focal point you want to see from the kitchen or dining room. But it could also be the central focus of one of these hardscaped areas perhaps? So, not used as a final destination at the bottom of the garden, but instead used as an initial milestone. Something to draw you out to the garden, and once you're there, you might take a moment to "rest" your eyes on the surroundings, before you move on to the next area of interest that the landscaping draws your eye to. Re: Recycling your hardscaping.... From what I see of Luciana's inspiration, you should find plenty of ways to reuse for your existing hardscaping. However, I have also come across an idea where you can turn old paving slaps into "gravel" chipping for the cost of the machine hire: a rather good way to recycle if you like the idea of gravel gardens. Whatever you decide to do, would love to see pictures of your finished garden once it's done.
