tile for tub surround

6 years ago

Trying to decide if we should use the floor tile or wall tile (the white natural stone) on the tub surround. Yes, the jacuzzi tub is ugly and I wanted to get rid of it but my husband likes it so it is definitely staying at this point. Trying to decide which tile would minimize it the most. Thanks!

Nice choices! I think it's very personal; I voted floor tile

Use the wall tiles, your tub area is attached to the shower. Keep them the same and the space won't be chopped up.

I have one of those too. Mine is framed in with custom cabinetry to match our vanity. I don’t care for it, but my hubby is of the ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ school.
