What do we think to these kitchen tiles?

I love these, but are they old fashioned?

I think they're awful, really not a fan of that style of tile. Also, the floor doesn't look great with those cabinets; they clash too much.

I agree the AI 'modern' version is awful @kitchentileszz as I wouldn't have a sleek, operating theatre style kitchen if you paid me, my taste being more deVOL (albeit on a limited budget!) We can't all be the same...

As @Hideouslyhot says, go for the tiles if you love them...and hopefully you'll come back and share the finished kitchen!

@kitchentileszz What on earth is the AI generated modern look? It’s taken all the cupboards away and left a slab of something! Both are hideous.

Keep the first kitchen and don’t have those tiles. You won’t get sockets to
lie flat. Cleaning is impossible. In my view they are not kitchen tiles.
Why have tiles anyway? You can have an upstand if you have a stone work surface and then use a robust paint above or just have a tall upstand for splashes. Start looking at ideas in the KBB magazine. I think dull tiles like that don’t enhance anything. They certainly don’t look like a clean kitchen area!

I’ve attached some real kitchen photos from Farrow and Ball. They show up stands with paint above. Mostly no tiles but tiled in a cooker alcove or one slab of Marble to match a work top. So the backsplash is a continuation of the worktop. With wood (that’s seriously hard work to maintain) I’d have the wood upstand and paint but behind the hob maybe have a wipe clean plain panel to match the white of the cupboards.

I would highly recommend you look at real kitchens for ideas.

Dated. Their time has passed.
