We have it- inherited not put in ourselves. I like it because it doesn't get dirty. Please ignore ancient messy kitchen!

Ferris What make is your kitchen? Looks great.

I had white tiles with mid grey grout in a previous kitchen it it looked good. I worried about white getting dirty eventually behind the hob although it does look nice.

Are they longer metro tiles funky?
I had pics of those floor tiles saved for ages- then went for the grey.

FunkyChunk · 15/04/2017 14:36

Yep they are the 300mm bevelled edge tiles, I think standard size is 200mm.

DP is incredibly opinionated on tiles being a plumber and refused the smaller size! Grin

I think the White grout looks better, dark grout with white tiles just looks like dirty grout imo

Ferrisday · 15/04/2017 14:41

These are my favourites at the moment
But more bathroomy maybe

I don't like the dark grout with light tiles either.
Were have large rectangular silver grey tiles in the kitchen, haven't finished them yet, still one wall to do, and it'll have a pale grey grout.

We've had it for about 6 years now and still love it. In the kitchen though where we've kept everything else really simple. I'm just about to re-tile a tiny toilet floor and am going for black and white patterned tiles and black grout.

knorrig · 15/04/2017 17:10

We've done white tiles with grey grout, love it

rallytog1 · 15/04/2017 20:36

We've got them in our bathroom. I kind of regret it - I think it looks like a tube station!

Oblomov17 · 15/04/2017 20:40

I love the kitchen ones with the grey grout. I think I prefer the slightly lighter grey, than the dark grey grout.

fannydaggerz · 15/04/2017 20:51

I have this, white tiles with grey grout. I love it.

GreyBird84 · 15/04/2017 21:22

This is what I'm doing in the utility room - white metro tiles with grey grout.
Glad to hear so many positive stories about it!

user1473602935 · 15/04/2017 22:00

I've done with white grout in bathroom, grey grout in kitchen

Really prefer the white!

onlyafineline · 15/04/2017 22:11

Forget grout, have you seen Funky's floor tiles? They're gorgeous.
I have pale grey crackled metro with darker grey grout and it looks quite nice btw

Lucked · 15/04/2017 22:15

I really wanted this But DH vetoed it, he said it was too1960s psychiatric hospital!

incogKNEEto · 15/04/2017 22:19

We have (trade) white tiles and a border of iridescent mosaic tiles in our bathroom with anthracite (dark grey) grout and it looks fab, it's easy to keep clean and hasn't discoloured in five years.

limesoda · 15/04/2017 22:29

I've done this, albeit not with metro tiles and I LOVE it. Really shows up the tiles IMO. Did it myself, too.
