Tiles

It was hard to choose tiles for kitchen... floor tiles and wall tiles. We've got a basic idea but it was harder than we thought! Not only colour, texture, thickness, size etc.

My friend recommended fired earth, their flat has got beautiful tiles from the shop. We visited several times, tiles are beautiful but a bit out of our budget...
Next, we visited porcelanosa, their tiles are again so beautiful but a bit too luxuary... (out of budget too).
Then we went to Topps tiles, Homebase and B&Q. Topps tiles are more expensive than we thought but not as much as the first shops we saw. Luckily, we found a nice wall tile at homebase (half price!) The tile is Laura ashley one, looks very similar to the one in fired earth. 

As for the floor tiles, it was even tougher... we ordered some samples online too. Crown tiles was so quick! The samples were free up to 4 samples, and arrive in next 2 days. We liked some of them such as magma, but it was out of stock when we needed. (disappointing )  The other online tile shop, tons of tiles, their samples were NOT free and it took 4 days (as there was a system error etc) but the sample tiles were nearly actual size and very good to compare! In the end, the samples were not arrived before we ordered but we were happy to see the samples as one of them was the one we ordered :) We've already seen the same tiles at Topps tiles, so we decided to order, we had to order on that day! Tons of tiles has a good selection of tiles, and the price was competitive. Also the next day delivery is available... with these reasons, we ordered from tons of tiles. We chose Pietre di Keope Cogne Grey (right one!)


I'll upload the pictures in the next blog.
