I would also say that would work with a contemporary kitchen, what colour is the kitchen as this may make it less obvious, also agree with above that it is about the style of the house and if its in keeping..

I would say they give an industrial feel! That said I have used this style many times with contemporary furniture and it works very well.

The uneven edges make them look traditional, whereas the colour is contemporary. Perfect I would say.

Hi, thanks for all the comments. the reason I ask this question is I already have these in my utility with a wide grout join. I would like to use these tiles in my kitchen but I have been advised the grout needs to me no more than 4mm which is an issue as the grout in my utility is 10mm. Would the different grout lines be noticeable to the eye ? You would have to walk through the utility to gain access to the kitchen which may cause a problem.

Apparently the small grout lines appear more contemporary, ive never heard of this before, so I have learnt something new.

Thanks everyone

Thanks jonathan. Would you say these grout line are too wide for a modern look / contemporary feel ?

I think you can only get away with a very narrow grout line with rectified tiles. I'm not sure if that is possible with these....?

I agree with Tierra Designs. In fact a lot of interiors have a 'generic' look because things are sometimes too 'curated' and it can look a bit predictable. Sometimes an 'obstacle' is the very thing that can become characterful in an interior.

Hi there,

If you are looking to fit a contemporary style kitchen, you may want to look at an engineered board, such as aHerringbone which has been making a huge come back. We have a few Herringbones and chevrons in stock!
