My brother & sister-in-law are keen on the small kitchen tiles which are
fashionable at the moment and would like to tile the whole kitchen, but
not all with small tiles. Advice he has been given is to not mix small
and larger tiles in the same room, but I suspect that's because it makes
life more difficult for the tiler. Has anyone had experience of mixing
large and small tiles (e.g. small ones between work tops and wall
cupboards, larger elsewhere), how difficult was it to design, any tips,
and what was the result like (picture if possible please!!).

Thanks

Did a nice job like this in a bathroom..small mosaic tiles in a dado
height line just above the basin and halfway up the bath...and very
large tiles on the floor..

Another shower (wet) room has slates on the floor, and slate 'skirtings'
and a thin strip of slates (~30mm wide) just above the basin, and other
tiles above and below..looks trim enough to me..

Do what ever you like mate.
