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!

I would normally agree with the other posters but after looking at the tiles, I really like them.The truth is everything will date so choose what YOU want in your house. The tiles you have chosen don't look like the old dated tiles everyone had years ago. Personally, I think in the right kitchen they'd look stunning. I especially like the picture with the dark tiles underneath and the lighter ones above. Maybe you could do something like that. :-)

Thank you so much everyone for all the fantastic ideas. I'm glad I posted here. Your pictures all look amazing too. I never considered a mirrored cabinet at first - I didn't think they looked as sophisticated! But the drawers just don't provide enough storage and I think I will go with that - it will satisfy my desire for a large mirror too! I love the "round the corner" idea for getting a good view of my hair dos! Thanks again everyone :-)

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?
