I like the longer ones best. If tiles are your preferred choice, I think a white tile that has a nice polished texture look, looks great in a kitchen. With great lighting, the light bounce's of the angles and the stainless steel appliances at night and gives a bit of bling and expense.

Hi Caroline, A few inspiration photos for you, try using subway tiles in a stacked style for a modern contemporary look, much more stylish than the overdone normal subway look, would look great in both areas, your tile store will advise the size of tile that will best suit your requirements.

How long until you renovate your bathroom again? Something that is "quite trendy at the moment" works fine if you are a real estate flipper, but can start to look very dated after 10 years. If you are planning to use your bathroom for more than 10 years before the next renovation go classic, rather than trendy. Of course Beaumonts tiles want you go with something on-trend as that is how the suppliers market their products, so it will date, and somebody will want to replace it with something else that is on-trend in ten years time!

Hand made subway tiles are wonderful. They add texture to any tiled wall. And the light bounces off the undulating tile. But as said, you need an expert tiling to do the job you have shown. https://tileandbathco.com.au/products/white-brooke-subway?variant=30301677486128&currency=AUD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_campaign=gs-2020-06-30&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9JnV0bOS8wIV0oJLBR2WpAOKEAQYAyABEgLzgvD_BwE
