Large kitchen splashy, 2 windows (one really long) and probably going to be a metro like tile :mad:
From worktop to sills is about 11 - 11.5cm so when I was round there I explained common size for those types of tiles are 10x20s and showed why that would mean an aesthetic compromise somewhere...
Been asked to lay some wood effect plank floor tiles, I've previously laid these in a brick bond layout in a very small kitchen, however in the pictures on the suppliers website they appear to be laid randomly and this will be a much larger area. Any thoughts on the best layout for a kitchen...
