We're having a new kitchen fitted. The worktop is white quartz. It was fitted last week and now we're deciding on tiles. None of the samples we got in advance look right, so it's back to the drawing board. We only want a few rows of tiles so we can paint above.
I think white tiles are going to be the safest option. I could go for the popular white gloss metro tile, which is very in keeping with the age and style of the house but there's quite a gap between the back of the worktop and the wall. I'm not convinced a thin tile will bridge it. Instead I am considering a rustic tile, like the Laura Ashley artisan. DH thinks these won't work though because they are not flat on the front and socket covers won't sit right on top of them.
Has anyone used a rustic tile or the LA Artisan tile where there are sockets and does it look okay? What colour grouting is best when white tiles are used with a white quartz worktop? The kitchen units are grey. I don't want to make too much of a feature of the tiles, so was thinking of white grouting. But does light grey look better?
