Grey grout for white metro tiles
Comments (3)Hello Carol, What about a darker grey. Mapei have a good selection..

Light is not anywhere near as interesting.. but that's because I'm sitting here looking at mine! : ))...See MoreProblem with metro tile with grey grout in kitchen
Comments (29)Thanks again for all your comments. Particularly helpful to be alerted to socket issue. I took these pics before the builder replaced the sockets with some nice chrome ones. (see new pics) However, he's still got them in the wrong place. Will raise that today. He hasn't actually finished the hood area in these pictures - as I stopped him. But also the chimney extractor doesn't seem to be functioning so it needs to come down anyway. This solves this problem and we can tile behind it - although I'm still worried that he's not going to be able to redo the job well enough. I've added some more pics with better light.

I would never opt for coloured or patterned tiles as they would inevitably date and tiling is SO permanent. I do however hate them with dark grout....See MoreHelp please, mirrored metro tiles for kitchen splashback
Comments (4)Hi Diana, This depends on which tiles are chosen. The materials used and how they are made will all have an impact on this. Our Busca range is suitable for behind a cooker - https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/busca-bronze-bevel-glass-tile-prvw-vr~93829888...See More

6 years agoHi Gemma, how about something like this?
Blue and White Roses Patterned Tile
Which would give you a pattern, but not be overpowering.
Or maybe some of these scattered among plain tiles to break up the white?
Blue Hydrangea Ceramic Wall Tile
(dozens of other designs at https://www.floraltiles.co.uk/shop/)
We also have some tiles ideas blogs with tile pattern examples, including patchwork patterns, which might help you in your research: Tiles Ideas Blog
All the best with it!

6 years agoObviously, it depends on the feel you want to create but avoiding metro and the patchwork style still leaves you with plenty of options. Have you looked at crackle glaze? We are in the process of launching a range of vintage crackle glaze here which are my firm favourite out of the crackle glaze style.
