I have a greige shaker style kitchen and white quartz worktops beltrami bianco massa with a grey marble veining.
Floor tile upstands.
By using upstands this thermal bridge can be much reduced or even eliminated increasing the thermal performance of the floor insulation.
Have a look at some of my photosets which may give you some inspiration.
What you choose really comes down to personal preference and the type of look you re trying to achieve.
I am fitting my new kitchen soon and going to be tiling the bit between the worktop and wall units.
Upstands tiles or splashback.
Having said all this i think your budget is unrealistic.

10mm upstands and quartz behind the hob as a big upstand too.
I think i m going to do upstands all the way around and just tile the wall with the cooker on it.
If you work symmetrically and the edge tiles are all under 400mm by definition you have your full 150mm skirting from the offcuts with a manufactured edge and without buying any more since by definition there is almost exactly the same length of skirting as floor edge.
The most important component in your new bathroom.
Everyone seems to compliment the tiles.
Basically all of them are designed to protect your walls from kitchen splashes.
I d suggest upstands skirting tiles around the rest of the bathroom then you can add some nice colour to your bathroom your painted bath will be a lovely feature.
I have asked a similar question in the tiling section so sorry for repeating it here.
Essentially splashbacks are large format glass tiles usually placed behind a sink bath or cooker anywhere that splashes are likely.
I went for a glass metro tile.
I have just had my kitchen floor tiled and the the upstands which are just a tile cut in half have been affixed to the wall but rest on the floor tile.
Thought about doing just a panel of tiles behind the cooker but think it will look better extended out each side.
But then i will have an upstand and tiles on that wall.
I think the cut tiles into strips thing will use more tiles not less.
Hi all i m shortly tiling a bathroom with a big busy tile rather than tile all the walls i thought less is more and that i d just tile one complete wall and the double vanity unit area i ve seen the look in some very expensive octagon show homes and it s very effective and cheaper.
Upstands are used to prevent thermal bridging at the edge of the floor where it meets the wall.
Feast your eyes on these gorgeous glass splashbacks and upstands from original style.
Not sure what to go for in your new kitchen design.
I ve had the same dilemma recently.
Secondly the floor tiles are less than 2mm away from the walls is.
Doesn t there have to be a gap and if so what should it be sealed with.
