accent tile for half bathroom

6 years ago

The gray tile is for the bathroom floor and the hallway leading to the half bathroom. However, we are going to use a white/off white grout. We would like to do an accent wall with tile in the half bath. Which one do you like better? The accent tile would go behind a sink (possibly a pedestal sink), mirror and light fixture. A: is double the price (Thassos marble) and B: classic vintage look
Thank you for your help.

Have you thought about wallpaper? There are some amazing and durable wallpapers available these days. Wallpaper will be a lot easier to change out as the design trends change in 10 years.

I tiled a whole powder room in a mosaic tile. I love it and it looks great, but I won't do it again. It is such a permanent choice. Next house I will use wallpaper instead for more flexibility.

If you are set on the tile, then I like option B better.

I have look at a ton of wallpaper and love it. My husband hates wallpaper but likes the tile idea. I’m trying to compromise but ultimately he told me to pick wallpaper if I want it 😊!
