Kitchen tiles help needed

[pinkdressinggown]

Hi all,

I'm so rubbish at this kind of thing, but we are having our kitchen done and have gone with light wooden floors, wooden worktops and the kitchen cabinets attached.

The walls are white and I'm really struggling to choose some tiles for the kitchen walls and backsplash - the whole thing just feels a bit boring now! We don't want to go too wild because we're selling the house (hopefully) in a couple of years, but at the moment the room just feels a bit meh and I think some nice tiles would make things a bit more interesting. I can't even think what colour would go!

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks very much!

Pale green

Always looks fresh and is good for food related rooms

Personally I'd go for white metro tiles with light grey grout and paint the walls a colour other than white. It's easier both for you and any potential buyer to re paint walls than it is to re tile.

I will post a pic of my kitchen when I can, tiles are as I suggested.

Here you go. Wood effect worktops, cupboards painted in a copy of f and b skimming stone.

Forgot to add, white metro tiles and light grey grout which was the whole point if me posting!

We have lantern tiles fading from white to blue on the long wall. They get progressively darker blue round the corner, but then you'd see the heap of recycling waiting to go out! If you think it will be 10 years before you sell, I'd avoid metro tiles. They'll look horrendously dated. But lantern tiles probably will to

Actually, I've found a picture minus recycling from when I was tiling, but before I'd neatened everything up. Imagine it without grout smears and neat paintwork...

Personally I don't think metro tiles will date. For me they are very traditional looking in an older house.

Thanks everyone! Lots to think about

Pale green Glass Splashback only in the area needed for wipe down if dirty splashes hit it like under extractor hood and above sink that my plan hope it keep cost low and simple. White walls too.
Pale Mint or sage green very pale.
Hopefully after lockdown.
