One idea that a number of customers have adopted is to create a border above the worktop surface of around 3-4 tiles high. This has two benefits the first is to create a pleasing border that creates a point of interest and secondly practically protects your walls from everyday kitchen spills. With Royce Woods tile planner you can mix and match your tiles to get the effect you want. Very often though a single tile like in photograph opposite will create a very pleasing effect as all Royce Wood handmade tiles are all slightly different.
