We haven't finished the master bath, I've been buying things for it but don't have the time or the $ to do it right now - trying to finish the rest of the house. But I bought floor tile same as the other bath, in a different color, b/c I just loved that tile so much. My kids' (actually, all 4 of us using it now) bath has a blue-gray tile with spots of rust on it, wavy edges. I bought a brown-gray for the master bath which is going to have ORB faucets. They look nicer than they sound.

Bathroom (well, some of it, just can't see the floor) with light blue walls - old pic, we have window trim now, though I still have to put the light and the grill back in the ceiling fan!)

I'm not sure where your bathrooms are in relation to each other. If they are entirely separated, and there is beige carpet in the adjacent area, then choose `different tile if you want. If one of the bathrooms is adjacent to existing tiling (mudroom), I'd go for the same tile if appropriate for a bath. I have 3 baths, all different, but none are near another.

I prefer to give each bathroom its own look. To me, it looks customized instead of cookie-cutter.

My brother has a huge house with 5 bathrooms. He did each bathroom in differnet tile and themes.....I think it's awful! One has black sink/tub/toilet and silver mod wallpaper, the next one has white tile, white tub/toilet/sinks w/ brightly colored bar tiles as a border....you get it.....looks broken up...no flow.

I have 3 bathrooms, 2 have the same floor tile as the kitchen flooring. The 3rd,MB,has marble flooring that matches the fireplace in the MB and it's ALL very light colored and neutral. I used the same faucets in ALL the baths. That seems to work for me. JMO

By all means use different tiles in the two baths if you like. Unless you have a house that "dictates" a certain design style you can have the baths in different styles too if you wish.

If the mudroom floor is in direct contact with the kitchen floor and you can get the same tiles (not "pretty close" but same - IMO "tried to match and missed" is one of the Seven Deadly Sins of decorating :-)), I'd consider doing so and running that into your 3/4 bath off the mudroom. If you cannot get the same tiles and the mudroom floor is in contact with the kitchen floor, put in a threshold and use a distinctly different tile, perhaps laid in a different pattern, and it doesn't even have to be beige. :-) (Ditto if the mudroom floor's not in contact with the kitchen.) Maybe a slate-look porcelain tile with variegated coloring that has traces of beige in it, like Daltile's Continental Slate, so there's still a color relationship but it's not just "more beige". It's also totally unnecessary for you to use a beige tile in the other bath that adjoins the beige carpeting... IMO beige, beige, beige, beige and more beige would get kind of dull and overly restrictive.

Not only are my tiles different, but the style of the bathroom are also different.

Here are some photo's.

I agree with abundantblessings and brutuses that decorating each one individually has much more character than having them all match. As sweeby said there are many ways to interpret a style. Take brutuses two bathrooms, for example. Both are traditional but very different also. Personally I would find having all my bathrooms the same would be just as boring as having every room in my house painted "Builder Beige."

I would encourage you to do different types of flooring. It's a very cookie cutter look to have everything the same. YAWN!

I purposely did mine in different looks and colors for everything. The flooring, the fixtures etc (so that it would be impossible for the contractors to get confused LOL)

Our master bath is done in tan colored travertine, the powder room is in brown marble with tan marble accents and the family bathroom (DS's) is in a different tan travertine, with nordic black antique accents. The tile patterns are done differently. Each room reflects the personality of the rooms adjoining it which IMO flows so much better than having identicle rooms.

You can sort of see my son's tile in this pic (a bit dark...my photographer sucks...heh heh)

Powder room:

Each bathroom should be unique. therefore, no need to match styles, tiles, finishes etc.

If all the bathrooms match, it looks like 'builder grade' :) cookie cutter home.

I'm so confused - HWs throughout my lower floor would help unify the space, even if I *really* want tile in the entry ways (foyer and mudroom) and the kitchen. But the same tile (in different colors) is "builder grade"? Our one bath above has white laminate (thermofoil?) cabinets since it's the kids' bath, painted in fun colors with ocean themed (cartoony) shower curtain that I can switch out later, chrome fixtures.

The master bath with the same tile (planned) in a brown color has a maple toffee-stained vanity, Kohler sinks, ORB Victorian faucets and towel bars, and a white soaking tub with Roman faucet. Not sure of paint color or countertop yet. Also has Roman shade like the ones in DR in window over tub. I was still looking for old-fashioned but not quite as fussy/elegant as Victorian look since it's a farmhouse.

Powder room will also have ORB faucet with a sink installed in an old (much more beat up) washstand like brutuses'. Did I miss?

thanks all!

our house is a multilevel (about 2000 sq ft altogether) - the 3 bedrooms and 1 bath (to be tiled) is on the top floor, then the main entry (already have beige tile) and kitchen (same beige tile) and living room (beige carpet, same as bedrooms) are on the next level. One level down is the other bathroom, hallway to garage/mudroom. Then the lowest level is the basement (carpet).

So 1 bathroom pretty much sits on top of the other one. And no tiles will be adjust to another...

one time i'm considering for the upstairs bathroom is the one shown on the bathroom thread (see http://www.tileliquidators.biz/jadesage.html and also see the link posted below in a real life bathroom which looks very pretty, but will only using 13x13). The other tiles i'm considering for the downstairs bathroom will be in a random pattern of squares/rectangles: http://www.tileliquidators.biz/canyonsagerandom.html or this color http://www.tileliquidators.biz/canyonmuskrandom.html (the pictures shown aren't very good - the lighting was bad and didn't show the true tile colors - yes I'd seen all 3 tiles in real life). So they are different tiles, but have some similarities (tiles had variation of colors like slate). The downtown hallway is kinda choppy so the tile person thinks it'd work better with the random pattern.

Thanks again for sharing your experience :)

Ajsmama: No, you didn't miss. Your baths aren't identical, even if you have the same floor tile (but in different colors, you say). And even if someone buys a "builder's grade" house with identical bathrooms, they can be individualized by decorating -- that's what we're here for!

I like the Jade Sage, but without seeing pictures of the house I don't know if the slate look would work? What about lighting? It looks very dark (more in first pics than in shower - that shower is gorgeous!), and wonder if that would be a consideration?

Andee - thanks - I built a custom modular, so it's my design but not so great framing, builder's grade woodwork (though it is stain grade pine, not fingerjointed and painted MDF) and Merillat cabinets. I am debating about changing out the 60" vanity in the master (installed, they wouldn't ship loose b/c of plumbing roughin, but no countertop/sinks) if DH will let me - we have room for 72" like we put in kids' bath. The builder never answered my ? about how much room we had, so I just picked 60" to be safe but my Kohler sinks don't fit, I need to add at least 3' on each side for 24" wide sinks with 8" spread faucets. I don't think we'll be using the builder (American Standard Colony) toilet since the one in the kids' bath is getting too rust-stained. I'll probably be looking for a nice Kohler. Sometimes I think I'm trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, and on a farmer's budget LOL!

Such a personal thing. We have a child who has 6 bathrooms and it would look horrific if all were different, but the only one that has different tile and style is the master bath which is on the first floor. All other baths are in the basement, game room, and upstairs and they, of course, are different, but same tile and same colors.
