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.

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)

The tiles and kitchen are classics so I would not worry about the tiles going out of fashion and again it’s a great idea to continue throughout the space. Is the kitchen painted or wood? If it’s painted, I would be tempted to go for a wood effect porcelain tile to soften the look. Whatever tile you choose, I would strongly advise that you place a few in an area you use to assess how they deal with everyday dirt and stains. I had a kitchen tile in a previous house that showed up every little stain and were a nightmare to keep. Two other consideration when it comes to tiles: 1. they are cold underfoot but suit UFH perfectly and 2. Hard surfaces creat an echo in a space so can do with other softer materials to reduce this.
