What about these Marc?

Delicato Desert Decorative & Glazed Wall & Floor Tiles

I've just done the blue. Which would be a little in your face. But this colour could be very subtle and classy.

Sharon, excellent idea, like the idea of encaustic as a 2nd option!

Geo mosaic, that's not three bad either!

Kool thank you!

I did a vic floor last year in one of the smaller patterns that's usually in black and white but did it in a light grey and off white, which gave it a modern look, it looked really nice.

I actually really like those encaustic lookalike geo/ Art Deco style tiles as @AliGage suggested, they would suit the Edwardian theme I feel.

They are beautiful tiles. Only thing I would check if you went for a patterned tile like that Marc is whether the wall units can be raised up to 604mm above worktop so you can fit full tiles in. Unless you/they were happy to cut to the worktop as well as units.

Why are metro tiles called.....metro tiles?........someone told me it's cause the London underground was tiled with them..

Btw....share your hate for them......just completed 10 m2 in a kitchen, round a big window, inside the reveals, above the wall units.....job from hell....white metros with dark grey grout aswell......not my cup of tea for sure...
