Any pics of your tiles? I have seen your other post and know your suite is 'traditional' but another thing to consider I guess is the cost of the mosaics. £££ using lots may mean a big dent in your budget.

Don't be swerved away from hand painted tiles! The best way to add colour and originality (I make hand painted tiles so I may be biased). I would take the tiles to just under the bottom shelf, and up to the hod. We have had tiles behind our cooker for 21 years, and we don't find the grout staying clean a problem. By the way - I think subway tiles will look dated in a few years, as anything bang on trend tends to do.

Light colour tiles ordered appear so much darker when installed in windowless bathroom. How can I make it all look/feel lights, its sooo brown looking!(Finally could add images)

Hi got new limestone stone tiles for utility room 15mm but hallway outside has already been laid and they're 10mm laid at 15mm height. I hate the look of them door divider/trim things is there any solution. Such a shame I got the thicker tile after the otges were laid. I'm meeting tiler next week can't ask him as he's on hols. Coukd yi shave down the ones closest to the point the tiles meet. Also re another can you get a thick underlay to rise laminate flooring to meet a 15mm tile?
