Powder room half tile v full tile accent wall, tile height & selection

7 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

We are doing a powder room remodel ASAP. The bathroom is 4'7"W x 6'2"L x 8'H. The paint color will be SW Sea Salt. We picked tile but it is not purchased yet. Wall tile will be white/gray marble 3"W x 11.5" L, floor tile will be grayish wood look tile 6"W x 35"L. Toilet will be white and we have a open wrought iron vanity with white sink. I have a few questions and appreciate any advise.

1. Should we do one half accent tile wall, full tile accent wall, or no tile on wall? Tile will be on toilet/sink wall. We plan on doing 1 half accent wall.

2. For half tile wall, do most people do 1 wall or 4? What height? We plan on doing 44" or 46".

3. On tile wall, do we put the wood trim back on wall or does the tile meet floor without the trim?

Thank you in advance. I will post pics.

You may want to consider a shorter plank tile; that size is too long for the space. As for the walls, I would tile it at least half way up on the toilet/vanity side. It will give you a back ground backsplash, and highlight the wrought iron of the vanity.

Should we tile the adjoining short wall next to sink near door too? Don't know if it's too much or accent the side/backsplash area. I agree on the plank size. The planks should run in direction I placed it, right? Thank you.

Is the vanity hitting the short wall? If yes, then tile, otherwise OK not to. The plank direction is fine, look for one that's no longer than 24".

The vanity may hit the wall, not sure until we get it in the room. Shorter plank and I assume shorter width, right? What about the wood trim piece where tile meets floor, use it or omit it? I appreciate all the feedback.
