Hi Trish.
I love the simple beauty that's created in the contrasts of your kitchen and think something like that would be so busy it would change the look and feel of the space.
I would opt for a simple white tile that compliments the kitchens great design but just throws a little reflective gloss under the units there.
Good luck :) Gina

What a nice kitchen! I love the colour and panelled cabinets. Are you looking for something colourful, patterned, minimalistic? White metro tiles (flat, pale grout) and marble/marble effect work really well with a navy colour scheme I think. Some photos for inspiration:

I think it will be difficult to find something to match. I could be wrong but, from the photo, it looks like the drive was some kind of crazy paving made up from broken slabs - 2 or 3 different colours (?) which have since weathered & faded. So if you found something similar to replace them, the colour would most likely be brighter. What happened to the parts of the drive that the builder took up?

I don’t feel a prospective buyer would worry about one cracked/broken tile to be honest. Nowadays people usually update a new home to their own taste. I would remove the tape unless it is a trip hazard as that will only make it look worse.

We're doing a total ground floor renovation on a late Victorian townhouse in London and I'm attracted to the idea of using tile in the entry hallway - maybe something light and/or colourful to lighten up the space, which will be dark. I also want to tile the walkway up to the house at some point in the future (when we have recovered financially from the renovation!) Thinking ahead, should the tiles match? I like traditional Victorian encaustic tiles for the outside (e.g the Lambeth pattern in beiges and blues), but I was thinking of something more modern/maybe in gray and white for the hallway. Should they match?

Mirror splash back that's something to look into thank you , I originally thought I would have metro tiles but thought I'd see if anyone came up with any other ideas thank you.

I have seen these in Mandarin Stone and they are really lovely. It could tie it all together.

Maybe go for an antique mirror effect with a hint of copper/yellow in it to compliment your blind?

Hi Trish, love the kitchen!

Can you share where it's from and colour of units (is it Downpipe?). Is it quartz worktop? I'm looking to achieve something similar.

Regarding tiles, personally I'd go white metro tiles but appreciate they divide opinion!

Lovely kitchen, if you want something interesting id try Bert and May, they have some gorgeous Blue and white french style tiles. Or for something a bit more simple I'd go for something this this from Fired Earth (Forecast tiles)

Splash blacks look very modern and they are convenient! Grout tends to be the first thing to look aged in a kitchen or bathroom, especially if you choose white which I think will look beautiful if you don't mind the up keep. Metro white tile will help your kitchen feel cosy but the mirrored splash back will certainly open the room up and an antique look with gold speckles would compliment your blind but you may decide to change your accessories. It's definatley a toughie.

I think the white tiles are your safest bet or a splash back that matches the colour and material of your work tops.

I hope this helps.

What a gorgeous kitchen!

Have you considered handmade tiles? We have a range that are all made by our lovely ceramicist Hannah in our ceramics studio here in Leicestershire. The below picture demonstrates our Whitechapel and Dove House patterns, but we have several different designs. The plain tiles can be interspersed with patterned tiles for a more contemporary finish.

You can see our full range here // https://www.floorsofstone.com/our-tile-range/handmade-tiles

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Hannah is always happy to advise!

Good luck with your search.

Gorgeous units! How about some texture to contrast the block colours? Either small tiles or maybe book matched marble?

Hello Trish,

Have you considered silver antiqued mirror for your splashback? it will add light & depth to your kitchen and will be easier to maintain than a silver mirror.

I love the simplicity of how it looks at the moment with the plain back (I understand you do need to put something there) but that's because my personal style preference is quite plain and simple.

Those tiles are beautiful but in my opinion quite change the feel of the style of the kitchen.

What's your style like in the rest of the house?

I think the encaustic tiles could look good as long as you remove the upstanding and the pattern fits neatly between the cabinets and up to the extractor.
Personally I would have an upstand behind the hob in the same material as the worktop and take it up the wall halfway to the extractor( although you could go all the way up to the extractor)
Then I would paint the wall in a colour to frame the cabinets, perhaps the yellow in your blind.

Antique mirror would look amazing. I agree with other posts about the tile being too busy. It reminds me of the Linda barker wren kitchen.
