Which metro tile? With pic.

[Bluesheep8]

Hi, we are having a large kitchen and utility room re tiled and I want white flat metro tiles with pale grey grout. Just after opinions on which size to go for. I want a traditional look (old house, wood effect worktops, painted units) and I'm thinking the bigger times look more "modern" somehow...the smaller ones in the pic are more of a "standard" size, 100mm x 200 mm I think and the others are 300mm long. Thoughts please?

Pretty impossible to tell without any sense of scale. Why don’t you cut some pieces of paper to scale and “tile” on the existing back wall and see which you think you prefer? From your photo I would have guessed the large is a floor tile. Just to throw a thought in, have you thought about chevron? Metro is a bit of a dated trend.

Like this. Floor on the 3rd one

If you want a traditional look I'd go for the smaller ones in the standard brick pattern.

Wow that was quick! Thank you. Hmmm the tiler suggested chevron but I'm not keen tbh. I agree about the trend for metro, especially in a modern house/kitchen but think that in a traditional kitchen it looks quite classic.

Just for scale, the smaller tile is the size of 2 square tiles side by side and the larger is the size of 3.

Thanks for your opinions, appreciated. Going for the smaller in brick pattern as suggested.

Woowoo, lovely...That's just what I want. Thank you
