I cannot make up my mind on my kitchen wall and counter tiles. So far I have been to 7 shops and not seen anything that I really like. But that is partly because I am not even sure what colour I want. The units are light oak, with a limewash effect on them. The floor is a textured white ceramic and the walls will be very pale yellow, the colour that is throughout the house and can be seen through the archway from the kitchen into the living room. The kitchen is not dark as such, but has a lowish ceiling with a wooden beam, and the windows are quite small, so I must keep everything light.
At first I thought yellow, to go with the painted walls, but now I think it might be too much. Then I looked at white, with and without motifs, but I think that looks too cold and clinical, and the various beige/brown mixes to match the wood seem sad. Actually, one of the nicest tiles I saw today was light green, which did look nice against the other colours. But I am not sure I should introduce a new colour, though I will have display cabinets with stained glass in green and yellow. Tomorrow I have one more shop to go to, then I am out of ideas and places to go. Why is this so difficult?
