Grey gloss kitchen and white worktop

Hi everyone I have just ordered my new kitchen from the Ringhult range in ikea. We are having white worktops but we are stuck on what colour tiles and walls to have. Anyone got any suggestions?

Thank you!

If you look on Pinterest for "grey kitchen", you'll see hundreds.

The overwhelming majority have white walls, and large numbers have metro tiles. A full wall of tiles looks more designer than just splashbacks. Brick and wood feature occasionally.

Hexagonal and unusual shaped tiles are making an appearance. Herringbone pattern looks lovely. We've just put some dove grey tiles in a fireplace - they look amazing. I'd like to use them in a larger space.

Orange would look striking

White every time.

If you want a highlight, have one of those coloured glass splashbacks in something fluorescent or garish. Not sure if they will look very "mid 2010s" in 5 years though.
