Ok....so I have spent the last few weeks returning the kitchen... Right back to brick, battens, insulation, plasterboard, new floor with underfloor heating etc etc.... I am now at the stage where I need to think tiles between the wall and floor units and behind the cooker.

Here is a pic of what it looks like.

I cannot seem to decide what tiles to go for other than I don't want natural stone.

.any suggestions will be most welcome.

If there's plenty of light coming into the kitchen then I would be tempted to go for a black gloss to pick out door handles and cooker, something along this style. I would be tempted to go for a flat tile 20 or 30 x 10cm, would be a good size, rather than metro style.

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.

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
