Luv yr ideas as I'm doing my kitchen exactly the same colours and same natural oak as a contrast except I have existing black granite bench tops ,so doing large drawers in a matt black!! Just getting quotes now! Have u had yrs done yet? I'd luv 2 c it!

What a transformation! We are particular fans of the decking area and pool, it'll be fantastic for the hot Aussie summer.

Hi kyliewarren, I see lots of super helpful comments but please remember you chose the tiles because you liked them. This is your kitchen and other's opinons are just that, opinions. If people's comments have not turned you off the tiles, paint the wall a strong colour to match with the tiles, a dark grey or black to match the lamp shades. I can imagine you're feeling very stressed with lots of opposing comments. The tiler needs to correct the mistake with the mislaid tiles (the ones going in the opposite direction) but I would suggest painting the wall first before deciding you no longer like them due to everyone's strong comments. We offer aPick-my-Brain design advice service if you want more insight about what you might do to make the tiles work. Good luck!

Thanks for your thoughts. This combo of materials and colours should outlast any fickle trends.
