kinda depends on whether the wood floor goes with the kitchen. Personally I like to see the same floor throughout as that continuity does make a home seem bigger and help with the open plan feel. However it is perfectly acceptable to have a different floor treatment in one room as long as they are completely different materials.

Hi, Tiles, paint, glass splashback or using the same worktop effect as a splashback all depends on personal choice as this is the space you will be using and seeing daily especially if you are a real foodie. If it is tiles you are wanting, I wouldnt tile to the top, I think it may be too much Especially with metro tiles; rather I'd prefer to line the tiles with the window bars and see if the extractor can be lowered by a notch to ensure there is continuing straight line through out. Alternatively, I'd consider a neutral coloured glass splashback behind the counter space which would co-ordinate with your walls and work surface.... Good Luck

Hi 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!
