Bathrooms Design Dilemma

Help needed with tile layout for small bathroom

6 years ago

I would like to use stacked vertical gray tile on the wall behind my Duravit Scola sink and use white tile for tub/shower and half way on the other two walls. I plan to use 12 x 24 on the floor. The room is 8 x 6 and has an 8 foot ceiling. If I use a vertical stacked tile on wall behind sink do I have to do the same tile layout for the floor and tub/shower wall

@Lorrie H This is a small small bathroom and your eye will take everything in "at once". Use white grout, or really pale grey, with the white tile, will keep it quiet and allow you to make a statement with your vanity tile. Notice the pencil edge tile allows for a beautiful transition. I am not a fan of the 1/2 way up tile only on 2 walls. If you are going to run tile halfway, then do it on all walls, even beside the full height vanity tile. It will allow your eye to travel around nicely and whatever paint you use above the tile will be at a consistent line.
