Bathrooms Design Dilemma

Which tile accent?

6 years ago

Big gray tile is for half bathroom floor and mudroom with white grout. Which decorative tile do you like better for an accent wall in half bath? A or B

I like B.....I would do a grout color for the floor similar to the tile, though, as white grout will make a pattern that stands out and competes with either of these graphic tiles. You want the floor to be the background.

I prefer B - Less busy. I would not use white grout but match the grout to the tile, especially in a mud room.

B. I think A is too delicate looking next to your more rustic tile.

Be careful when they lay out that big tile. I see 2 identical tiles in that top photo (just flipped 180 degrees). That is an easy giveaway that it's not stone. Don't let a bad layout like that break the illusion.
