All three of those makes a very BUSY bath! Which one? Google marble tile and a zillion will come up. Herringbone, subway , mosaic etc.

I kind of like that look :) to each their own I guess. Thanks...

Notice how poorly the herringbone was laid...areas of mostly light and other areas of mostly dark makes the appearance uneven and blotchy.

If you love gray marble, then Carrara is a good choice. It's quite inexpensive too as marbles go.

Awesome, thank you for the suggestions! Will definitely match the colors if we do choose to mix patterns, that would drive me crazy as well!

You're looking at Carrara tiles and you will have a wide variety of gray tones as it is NATURAL stone - that's the beauty of it. felizlady's comment on the poor installation is wrong - that size and pattern comes in sheets so you won't really have control without an incredible amount of work on installation (which you will pay for). I suggest if you go with natural stone that you go through the cartons yourself and pull any sheets that you find disagreeable to be used as fill in pieces. You'll want the installer to seal the natural tiles before he installs and my installers do an actual layout BEFORE the install so I can verify tone before it becomes a permanent structure.

Another thing to be aware of - if you have well water and you have any minerals such as iron, natural tiles in a wet area such as a shower will not hold up over time. A sealant only helps in maintaining their beauty but it doesn't actual seal it like poly on wood seals the wood.

With our high definition capabilities porcelain tiles that look like natural stone have gained popularity. I've used those in showers to get the 'look' but mixed with natural in other areas - not exactly the same thing but when you take in consideration all the elements you are working with - it could be helpful.

Thank you sooo much for your comment KR Kitchen!

I desperately wanted a marble bath but couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger due to concerns about maintenance. Ended up finding very nice marble-look porcelain which was laid herringbone. I’m pleased.

We bought marble tile from The Builder Depot (make sure you add the “the” when searching their website). They have marble tiles like these in all sorts of shapes and sizes and types. You will definitely find what you’re looking for there. The prices were unbelievable compared to our local tile shop (where we bought all of our other non-marble tile for the whole house). Our builder is super impressed with the marble tile that was delivered.

Susan Murin, that tile is a dead ringer for marble! Great choice!
