The tiles will be covering the areas coloured light blue on this plan (the white and dark blue will be covered with panelling). Have narrowed it down to three tiles which will fit without too much faffing/cutting: Lucy - a 15x15 tile, though not sure if I should stick with one colour or do some kind of mix with the blues and white. https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/bathroom-tiles/lucy-tiles Rhian - a 10x30 tile. Again, it comes in a selection of blues and grays so I don't have to stick to the one colour. https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/rhian-30x10-tiles?product_colour=14%2C22#scroll-js Illumina - a 7.5x30 tile which also comes in blues and a gray. https://www.tonsoftiles.co.uk/illumina-wall-tiles/colour/blue-grey.html My current favourite is the Illumina as the finish looks lovely. I would have to apply the tiles vertically along the worktop by the sink though, as trimming 1-2cm off several 7.5 width tiles sounds like a recipe for lots of broken bits... Any thoughts on tile selection/orientation please? Had a play in Paint at some possibles.

Thank you all for your advice. It's great to hear hear that there is potential to do a lot with the kitchen. To answer your questions. Budget wise, we have no clue how much this would cost. At the moment we are doing an exercise to see how much it would cost to do what we'd like and then if we can afford it. Any indications of cost would be great! I've added some images into my Ideas Book of the sort of style we like. Appliance wise, we would need a double oven, American size fridge freezer, gas hob, dishwasher and space for a microwave. We like to have somewhere for bar stools, somewhere to keep books and maybe shelf storage. Thanks OnePlan for the suggestion of the online place to sell kitchens. We would definitely be looking to sell it off. I've very roughly (don't judge!!) a layout that I wondered if it may work. Would be interested to hear your thoughts. Ideally we would want to keep the sink, hob etc in the same location to avoid costs of moving electrical points and plumbing.
