My favourite is the penny tile [luv it!!!! classic retro!], with the lighter concrete grey wall tile and the warmer brown cab. [The last pic w/2 versions- The version on the right].

It has a slightly retro-industrial feel which I love. The concrete colour on the walls warmed up with the wood grain . The colour depths are balanced nicely, it is interesting, and not too dark for what is usually a small space.

My vote hands down ! Bravo ! !

Thanks Moico. What do you think about using that same light wall tile on the floor where the penny tile curbless shower meets the floor tile?

One of the biggest mistakes home owners make is picking out tile without discussing with the person installing them. A tile has to not only work style wise with the room but also "Fit" the area and be suited for its application.

These new larger format tiles are great but remember if you have a 32" wide shower and buy a large tile the layout can be odd with one larger tile and two smaller cuts on alternating rows.

Tile also has to be selected to work in the area being used. Natural stones in wet areas will always have characteristics that have to be explained before a tile is installed. Most love the look dry but can't deal with the constant maintenance and uneven drying from tile to tile.

Even if you are doing yourself take some measurements and see how it will look before installed. How will you address corners?, window ledges?, are there matching access tiles such as bullnoses"

A simple grout line size can throw off a tile fitting in a space. Where say a 24" tile might leave odd ends on a floor a 12" might work perfectly with no odd cuts.

Good luck!!

Thanks. The Shower is actually 5x4x9'high so if you ran the 12x24 tile vertically you could probably get at least two walls to fit without too much cutting. the tiles true width is 11-3/4x23-3/4 so it just might fit on all sides width-wise with grout. good point that I only lightly considered.

I agree with Moico, last pic on the right! You were asking about doing the same shower tiles on the floor...I wouldn't. I like the warmth the wood look tile provides. Nice job, it's going to be beautiful!

It's a toss up between the first pic and the last pic on the right. I agree about the penny tile. Looks really nice w/what you have chosen.

Where is the wood-look tile going? In reading, do you mean the penny will be on the entire floor, in and out? or just on the inner shower and the wood tile on the outside of shower?

Have you seen some of the other gray pennies? might be a little something extra...

here they are grouted. It looks really good. would look super next to the white vanity and either the dark or light large tile

I was thinking to myself that might be a bit much so thank you for the confirmation. I really appreciate the constructive criticism and encouragement.

penny tile in the shower and wood effect tile throughout the rest of the bathroom and closet. The other option would be to run the carpet that will be in the master bedroom into the master closet but I think that would feel a bit odd.

Also there's two different wood effect gray floor tiles. one's got more brown in it shown above next to the gray penny tile.

Thanks

hmmm,,,tough choice. I like the penny over the squares for sure. with the gray penny I like the white vanity and lighter tile. what if you did the gray penny over the entire floor (instead of wood look tile) Is that feasible?

I think if you do the white vanity and top, the gray penny adds a bit more dimension and color(with either the dark or light gray tile). If you do the white penny, I like the lighter wood vanity and the lighter tile. But I also like the white vanity w/the dark gray and white penny!

What are you leaning towards? Can we see the actual room?

OK not an expert - but currently designing a gray and white bathroom - so thank you for the pics!! I vote for light gray - and I might take the tile and have them make the small 1" by 1" tiles for the shower floor and do squares... but that's just my taste (the round ones you chose are beautiful)

I am thinking of similar tile - light gray on floor and a white on walls with 2 chrome horizontal stripes - and white cabinet with gray top... and currently reviewing 6 different layouts... jeesh enough to make you craazy.. would love to see pictures when you are done.

You have beautiful tile choices!!!

Thank you. Hopefully that means there's more than one good choice here.

The bathroom getting drywalled right now but if you got to the original post there's a architectural drawing of the space. The only difference is I'm doing a freestanding modern tub. So white tub, white floating quartz bench, white counter...

My plan is to do the entire master bathroom and closet in floor tile. I'm leaning towards doing the shower floor in the white penny tile and the rest of the bathroom floor in one of the gray wood effect tiles, probably the 6x24 one that's got a hairThe total SF of the floor in that area is about 175 SF and for some reason I feel like that would be a lot of penny tile, especially in the closet.

So I'm leaning towards white penny shower floor, light gray 12x24 shower wall tile, 6x24 gray w brown tint wood floor tile, and the wood looking vanity.

I've got a kids bath down the hall I'm doing as well so I think might do that with the gray penny tile floor. Thanks so much for all the help!

So on the floor plan what are the two round thingys? And what does the frosted glass have on the other side? is that an outside window? Also love the barn door idea...

I am going for a modern look printesa so you make a good point there. I guess I'm leaning towards the white for the contrast mostly.

Skostick, that's a 5' double vanity sink. The shower window's a high window on the 2nd floor facing south 5-6" off the floor.

I mean purple golfer. yes outside window.

You might find this page useful since it has lots of examples with the penny tile

Not to add to the confusion, but have you considered cement tiles for the floor? They are really nice and modern

Thanks Mountainfreak for giving me the courage to post...

mountain freak,,,didn't know you had 175sq ft to do. yes, that would be a lot of pennyround! How about doing a large 'rug' in front of the vanity area, within the wood tile? If you do the metal edging around them, it would look really cool.

(oh,,,please make sure your tile setter knows to stagger these when they are laid, otherwise you get that 'line-box' look.

printesa brought up a good idea about the encaustic tiles too. They are nice and modern looking. I'm actually using them on one of my shower walls with a teak shelf.
