Hi Hannah! Wow I love the kitchen! I wish I had seen this earlier so I could suggest but I love the grey tile, it looks like a successful choice! You could add a marble cheese board to the island. The grey streaky tones In the board will probably tie in everything else. You could then put a terrarium on top of the marble board!

The vintage green tiles in the first picture are lovely. The darker ones below with the bevelled edges are just so wrong in the setting shown. I am also a lover of green but you have to get the right tone and keep the shape as smooth and flat as possible. I am a big believer in having just one standout element of design in a tile - either its unusual in shape with a matt finish or a special colour with no fussy edges.

Love those! I think you've found it! Otherwise if you're after a more encaustic tile finish (more matte, stone look which I love) you can find them. If you're in Melbourne, Schots have one called Versus, but there's lots of brands that do them if you search encaustic diamond tiles?!

Hi every one. I am doing a renovation to a Georgian home and I love encaustic tiles. I am not at all interested in "encaustic look" as porcelain made to look like other things is not my taste. Ever store I have gone to, the sales assistant told me I would regret it as they stain so easily and are so difficult to maintain. Would be interested to hear about other peoples' experience with encaustic tiles. I wonder if it is like timber floors - they scratch over time, but this kind of adds to their character?
