Kitchen tile help!

[Icedfinger]

We've got a new kitchen being fitted next week. We've gone for a Benchmarx kitchen- Oxford cream, with oak work tops. Just need help with what colour tiles to go for.

I've had some samples but feel that cream/white is too bland but don't want anything to dark as the room isn't huge! Any ideas?

Are you sure you need tiles? I don't think they're actually necessary. You could have an oak upstand at the back of your worktops and then a splashback at the back of your hob?

I'm planning something similar and am having a sage green metro tile from topps tiles.

We have oak tops and Matt White cupboards and blue metro tiles from topps too- looked at the sage green ones too! The blue ones are deceptively named, they're actually blue grey.

Good luck!

Thanks. My DH likes the pale grey/blue metro from Tons of Tiles. Can't decide between these and maybe duck egg.

Depends on the look you're going for, for me duck egg would be a warmer maybe more country type look and the blue grey more of an urban feel possibly? Good luck!
