I never, or should I say my husband, hasn't, got round to finish tiling behind the wash basin so we used a 'washable wallpaper' and it drives me mad everyday. It never ceases to surprise me how much toothpaste, soap etc gets splashed against the wall and no matter how much I wipe it, it always leaves little marks which are impossible to get off without damaging the surface. If I could, I would tile every last inch of the bathroom. A quick spray and wipe and it always looks clean. I feel like I'm doing an indepth scrub constantly and it still never looks quite as pristine as I would like

Hi! Not keen on metro tiles to be honest although the narrower vertical ones aren't as bad 🙈 Just thought of a nice shaped one but struggling to know what colour works with a marble worktop 😂

I’d do differently. I’d tile up to the top of the units making a straight line, that way would feel nice to the eye, with a good flow feeling. To add to the look, the shelf will have a lovely background when you are setting your plants, herbs or spices… . I’d actually install tiles in a light colour with mate finish.

I agree with Daisy something lighter. I like number 4.
