Which tile?
9 years ago
Thanks to everyone who responded to my last post. After much deliberation, I've finally narrowed down the choice and it's between a marble metro tile (with grey grout) or a hexagon tile (see pics). This is for a splashback area in our kitchen. I would like timeless, beauty, elegance to be the theme so not too keen on anything too fashionable as I worry it'll go out of fashion again (for that reason, perhaps hexagon tiles are not the right choice??). It's a large Victorian house with lots of original features so I'd like to stay true to the house whilst complimenting it with more contemporary features (such as the kitchen itself). Worktops are quartz resembling Carrara marble and cabinets are a matte white finish
Thanks so much for your advice x

Which tiles with these cabinets?
Comments (11)Which shade of beige..... I would go for something more obviously a different shade if you are worrying about matching tiles under the shadow of overhead same coloured cabinets. Cream is not going to look the same under different lights, so either don't worry, or go for contrast is my opinion on this one. However, the right side tile in the last photo is a warmer colour, but not necessarily when lit under the cabinet, and not forgetting the same photo of the cabinet looks a bit green under the lighting/photo result.... or were you wearing a green top and it reflected?......See MoreWhich tiles do you prefer?
Comments (7)yes I think the pale grey to match the grey in the floor tiles would work well. I'm not a fan of metro myself but they grey ones are much prettier than the subway style white ones which I feel are a bit too sterile. You could always run some of the patterned flooring up onto the wall of the shower or bath as well...See Morewhich tile for small cloakroom?
Comments (3)The colours are similar but because of the difference in texture I think the tiles will still look quite different when tiled on a wall. It‘s difficult to really imagine what they would look like on a larger surface but I feel the one on the left may work better because of its linear character and it also appears less yellow in colour. Do you maybe have examples of them in situ?...See MoreWhich tiles/handles suit our new kitchen?
Comments (6)I love sage green. I’ve just had fascias replaced in our bathroom in this colour (well, when I say ‘just had’ I mean the doors are sitting there waiting to be fitted 😆). I’ve opted for green knobs on mine, but it’s a bathroom not a kitchen. Granted I had to do some thinking about whether to go for black, stainless steel or green. Do you actually need wall tiles or could you just go with an upstand to match the worktops? What colour worktops have you opted for? Regarding floor tiles it’s a minefield of choice out there. All depends on personal choice....See More
