Hey Anita - what did you decide?

Hi Pauline Can you tell me where you are located (NZ/Aus, state?), and I'll give you info based on that, and point you in the right direction. Having said that, most tile companies have bars that can transition between tiles (or tile supply companies). If I were you, I'd look into these first, before choosing tiles, as you may find the transition bars ugly, or unsuitable. Some people call them T bars. They come in many variations, colours etc, but this gives a cross section example. The T part goes between the tiles. The other thing to do would be to ask a tiler near you.

Before deciding on a colour, don't forget to consider your kitchen cabinetry, benchtop, splashback, etc (and dining furniture)... for example, if you have a classic hamptons (farmer style) kitchen (and furniture) then don't discount a warm white for the walls... it won't look clinical as the warmth will come from the kitchen cabinetry, etc and dining furniture, e.g. But if you have a "hamptons inspired" look with a slightly more contemporary kitchen cabinetry (and furniture), then in my opinion (all nice options above but a bit too beige'ish for me) so I would suggest a light shade of a warm grey e.g. Whichever way you decide to go, try to narrow it down to 2-3 colours, get the small pot samples and paint each one on all the applicable walls as they will all look different at different angles depending on how they reflect natural daylight and the lights at night time... then you may be able to make a clearer decision. Good luck! :)

You are going to run into trouble if you go with a white or off-white as they won't go with your other whites, and be difficult to keep clean. I would use the dark grey vein in your Caesarstone as a starting point to match with your new floor tiles. The same floor tiles could also be used as a laundry splashback.
