New kitchen tiles

[Ajax123]

The trend at present is no tiles on kitchen walls.

They mainly have just an upstand matching the work surface but it is also personal choice.

Yes I've noticed that. Maybe it's a cost thing... Not sure but I really want tiles ... Tried melamine splash backs and bare walls with emulsion and never really found them very successful... As you say personal choice.

This looks quite nice?

Oooh yes I like that... What tiles are they. Are they available in a cream colour to match my unit doors....or maybe a beige colour to compliment the floor and the worktops...

crackle is very nice and would go well in there all 4 colours remember to seal them

Now you've gone a spoilt it... Seal them indeed.. 😉 .. I think I want glazed ceramics really.

Alan, if you are to tile it , then it has to be 20mm mosaics on diamond set. 🙂

I did think about mosaics but thought they are difficult to get flat... I know the technical side but not so good on the practical side of tiling...

I don't usually like metro's, done plenty of the usual white, red, black - but I'm doing a cream one at the moment & I think they look really nice and different for some reason, . Or the purple/plumb ones I did in our own kitchen (similar units & worktops), here's a link 'cos my photo won't upload (as usual)

Put these in a kitchen the other month Alan, they were actually left over from a floor in the bathroom downstairs,so the bloke put them in the kitchen.
I've also put the B&Q 600 x 600s on a few kitchen walls,a cheap way to tile a kitchen but v effective IMO.
Sorry about the 2nd pic, it's my kitchen,I've just taken it 🙂 i tiled it about 5 years ago though in the blackish 600x600s
