if you have an off white kitchen and wood effect worktops, what kind of tiles do you have on the walls?

[ssd]

should I just stick with cream or would a colour work?

any tips appreciated!

BTW its an ikea kitchen in "yellow-white", with walnut laminate worktops that look like wood

How about ditching tiles and the inevitable grungey grout issue and going for painted tongue and groove. Would french grey type of colour work?

I quite fancy tiles, I usually splash liquid on them when I'm cooking

I don't really like grey, but thanks for the suggestion . I like really warm colours, but don't want to clash.

We have an off white kitchen, solid oak work tops and beige, cream and chocolate coloured tiles.

Will try to post picture on profile...

Oh I was hoping to change my kitchen to this, I was wondering about tiles,so I shall lurk.

My friend's got that exact kitchen in her house! She's got large tiles (easier to keep clean - less grout) in a kind of (and I'm not going to describe this properly!) pale pinky-peachy-browny kind of colour...

We're going to have the same cupboard doors but with a solid oak worktop and I have no idea what tiles we'll choose...or maybe those big acrylic sheets would work if we found exactly the right colour or pattern.

That's like my kitchen, we have cream mottled stone effect tiles. Painted the walls sage green and accessories for colour. Looks nice.

Similar but opposite - we have an oak kitchen (very warm stain) with white/cream worktops; had marbled white/cream tiles, just changed to stone-look tiles in rust tones, lots of compliments and we love it.

oh wukter, that sounds nice.

any pictures appreciated!

we have the same sort of kitchen/worktops etc as op (white painted wood and walnut tops). we're going for white tiles with the thought that we can change the whole look of the kitchen by changing only the cheaper and decorative things like blind/bits and pieces, fabric seat covers etc...

but them i am lazy, and also fairly safe!

picture on profile now... Not a very good pic but you get the idea!

thanks redfraggle, thats really nice, might have to copy you!

Thanks SSD.
I had a right job deciding. In the end we bought lots of individual samples and then grouped the colours we thought and propped them against the wall for a few days. Seeing them there whittled down the contenders nicely

thats a good idea!

Thanks SSD
No pics though as camera broken...
At the mo the accessories are in red, teapot, ovengloves artfully left around and red oilcloth. But I have had Cath Kiston style pastel floral things and that was nice too.

Redfraggle that looks lovely.

We have an Ikea yellow-white kitchen with oak worktops. I decided against wall tiles - the sink is in an island unit so can't have them there anyway! Just painted the walls in a wipeable paint and put a splashback behind the hob. The walls were white first but it didn't look right with the off-white units so I changed it to a very very pale grey. Floor tiles are a mottled darker cream but I wish I'd been able to afford real limestone as neighbours have that and it looks fab....

For accessories I have a few things in a browny-red and then use either dark green in winter or light blue in summer

I'm a bit late posting - but we have a creamy white shiny kitchen with wooden worktops. And have Small grey tiles for splashbacks that match the large grey tiles on floor. I like it. The grey is mid/dark slate colour, but on the warm rather than cold side of grey. Maybe like dark grey marl? They are not glazed - kind of smooth matt. I think they were from Fired Earth?
