Original Author7 years agoThank you for the comment. It is reinforcing our thoughts. Do you think we should keep the tiles the same size or mix some of the larger sizes? We have a build price for the house which includes laying the tiles but not the cost of the tiles so to do the large tiles should not be too expensive

7 years agoHI Jane,
From the aesthetic perspective, I would be inclined to mix the sizes up. They are all compatible and would jigsaw together nicely and would give the space a lot nicer flow. 'Brick' layout would look far too regular for such a larger space and would look softer round corners and more forgiving for furniture placement.This style of layout is made up of 5 individual sizes of tile. It looks far softer than a regimented layout of one size tile would give you.
You can work out a layout plan on your PC or go old school and use graph paper.
I hope that helps.

Original Author7 years agoThank you for your comment and photo. I think maybe mixing up with smaller tiles would be too busy but a mix of the larger size tile is something to definitely think about. There is also a landing with the same tiles that goes into this room so even more important to get it right!- PRO

7 years agoAbsolutely. Obviously these tiles are different proportions to yours but you can see how it is a softer look with a mix of sizes rather than regimented rows. Good Luck.

7 years agoMixing the sizes can definitely work well - to me it has less to do with the size of the rooma nd more to do with the style of the kitchen. If you are looking for a sleek, cutting edge modern handless design I would opt for the geometric regular "brick" pattern. f it is more traditional in style, then the mix may work better.

5 years agoHi there, what did you do with your tiles in the end? we too are looking at tiles, but the cost of the larger formats is extortionate as fitting is included, but not purchasing them, so we may have to go with 60 x 60 our tiles are going inside to outside too.
