I was going to go for 600 x 600 mm floor tiles. You can probably just about tell from the computer generated image I wont have space for much of a splash back. I like the grey in the first photo - it's neither too dark or light. On the opposite side of the main kitchen run i'm also having a bit of a splash back because i'm having a 1200mm base and wall units fitted. The worktop will run down the side of these units. I'm set on having a granite worktop to be honest! My main concern is the room looking too white. That's why i was thinking of painting the ceiling the same color grey as the glass splash back. The appliances on show will be all be stainless steel so that will break up the white a bit. Maybe paint the plinth the same color as the ceiling and splash back as well? Or perhaps darker floor tiles, darker walls and white ceiling? I'm not great with matching colors! It's costing a fare wack so i really want to get it right! Thanks for all your help in advance.

Hi Herbie. Take a look at some of the pics below of recent kitchen projects we have completed using stone tiles. They include beiges and greys with varying characteristics. If you like some of our ideas, take a look at our website as there are loads more options on there including porcelains, wood effect planks and lots of natural stone. We can deliver across the UK.

Hi, do you have any pictures you can upload? Sounds like you've got a pretty blank slate, personally I'd go for something a little different, patterned or hexagon tiles etc - some ideas below:

I think something that will warm up the scheme a little would be nice. MATH's copper tiles would work, also consider bricks, a textured mid grey tile would play the tone on tone but add more interest to the scheme, and even a patterned tile would work BUT you would need the scale of the design quite small. I feel the big bold designs will fight with the dark cabinets for attention a bit too much. You can definitely afford to play UP the the drama those dark cabinets offer as opposed to going for safer options and keep it plain and light. If going for pattern choose designs with warmer tones like taupes and grey not stark white and grey. Hope this helps and please let us know how it's progressing :)
