Subway tiles in kitchen - will they look dated?

[notmywords]

We're having a new kitchen. For reasons which are beyond me, we've never had a tiled kitchen spashback - just paint.

However this time is like tiles. I've never chosen tiles before and have no idea where to start.

I like the effect of subway tiles but will they look a bit dated in a year or so.

It's a modern kitchen with handleless door and slate grey corian worktops.

What would you suggest?
