Help me find some interesting tile for master bath

6 years ago

I'm just starting to pick materials for a reno/addition. Two existing full baths are being gutted and we're adding a master suite. The sheer number of decisions is overwhelming! I've got a general sense of what I want for the 2 existing full bathrooms, but am coming up short around the master. I've set a couple of guidelines for myself to keep things as simple as possible for all 3 bathrooms: I don't want a ton of upkeep, so I'm trying to stick to mostly porcelain; I really don't like the faux marble tiles for the most part (they're lovely done well, but often have a sort of patchwork look that would drive me nuts); and I don't want anything aggressively neutral. Resale isn't a concern.


For the master shower I'd love to find a Middle Eastern or Moroccan-looking tile. A friend introduced me to Stone Impressions which has some beautiful $$ stuff I love. At $100/sqft I would use just a strip in the shower. There's a super cheap Merola tile via HD that has some of the same vibe. I don't love the faux antiquing around the edges though. If I wanted to keep it a little more neutral I could use something like the black and white Merola tile. I resent the grey-ing of all our spaces though!!


What do you all think of these options? Any other ideas? Most of my tile shopping has been at the Tile Shop and (less so) Architectural Ceramics. I don't know where else to look to find the more decorative vibe I like.
