Flooring Design Dilemma Kitchens

Kitchen Floor Tiles / Splash backs

3 years ago

Not sure what tiles would go with the attached kitchen furniture. Would you use patterns or different colours, any ideas?

Hi Kinga,

Does the adjoining space have any colour?

You might find some good ideas in this blog post. www.myclaybrickhome.com/post/choosing-tile-and-laying-patterns

Thanks Vicky! The living room has the same colour mix as shown on the picture really. I decided to leave the flooring as it is, just looking for some quirky tiles for splash back x

Those sockets would really annoy me- I'm miffed that the light switches at different ends of a room are out by this much! I would expect a much better job from a so called professional (I wouldn't except this from my husband who isn't). The gaping on sockets with bevelled tiles is a known issue but the gaps could have been filled. Again bleeding from dark grouts, but they should have advised that the tiles wouldn't work with the dark grout or used a tile sealer to prevent it. I've always drawn a tiling diagram, working out the best layout to avoid getting little bits of tile at the end, centralise on the wall or wrap around the corners.

Colourhappy sinking the fridge in the wall is my plan, just not right away. I don't even have to steal space, it'll fit into the 'triangle' but I would need to take the kitchen door away and move the utility door. I'll make do by adding an end panel to the right of it to blend it away when seen from in the dining room. Right now it has to stay where it is. As for tiles, I'm somewhat stuck because the worktop has a marbled vein though it. It's white but not brilliant white and next to white wall tiles, it'll look vanilla. The veining through it is grey with a tiny touch of copper/burnt orange through it. Hence why it's called Calacatta gold. I live metro tiles but it's to right here. There is herringbone on the floor so though I do live patterned tiles, again it needs to be simple. Right now I'm considering a glass slab. Any thoughts on that?

Matching granite and up stands, lovely granite. However, many have mentioned that when tying the back splash and up stands together the difference in the two pieces of granite is quite noticeable, so something to bear in mind. I do think however, that regardless of not wanting glass or tile, you do need something behind a hob.

My personal view is that tiles in a kitchen are a harbour for dirt and a pain to keep clean. Smooth, sleek surfaces are best. We went for granite upstands to match the worktop and a contrasting but neutral glass splashback.

You could have a glass splashback as opposed to tiles. Far easier to keep clean. You could have a plain clear one, a sprayed one to your own colour choice if you offer the supplier a BS or RAL code or even look online for a more decorative one. Below is the link to a site that I’ve looked on but have not purchased from, but the range overall is fabulous.
