150 x 150mm whites will be the cheapest you can get I think and most tile outlets do a version. I think if it's budget in mind first, then go for the whites, perhaps with a sheet of cheap 300 x 300mm mosaics and cut the sheet into the lengths a single strip wide and use that as a border to break it up a bit?

Hi,
Whereabouts are you exactly in Cornwall? I am just starting out in tiling and have undertaken a tiling course. I am currently employed and commute to Bude at weekends. If you are not too far away send me a message me and we'll see what we can sort out, (assuming you don't mind me possibly doing the job!!?)
Cheers
Paul
