too many different tiles in one space.

Could look like a tile showroom.

Not a pro. But I think it’s too many tiles. I am kinda boring, I like 2 tiles really- and maybe adding a 3rd that’s a different size, same color as another. I also think that dimensional tile is interesting but wondering how will it be with water flowing and staying on it? I had extremely hard and destructive water in a previous home so that tile would not work. Just my 2 cents.

I think it's too many materials plus too many patterns. Remember that the small tiles with dark grout will create a pattern, so the shower floor and bath floor could look kind of chaotic. You'd have herringbone, hex and that dimensional tile. And then you'll also want a solid surface for the shower curb, so that's another material. Something to consider also--all the angles on the black tile will collect soap and dust and could be a pain to clean.

It sounds like you're going for black and white; do you have any inspiration photos?

Here they did big hex, small hex plus herringbone. Plus the wallpaper pattern, but this is the home of the owner of a wallpaper company.

These look like all the same size tile, but different patterns and color.

As others have said, too many tiles.

The two photographed tiled look great together, but the white looks very, very slippery and the black looks awful to clean.

I would suggest simplifying and thinking through your cleaning routine.

OK! So it sounds like the dimensional tile in the shower will be a wowing moment, and everything else needs to bow down to it. I think the large-format white tiles you're planning in the shower will be great contrast. And they'll let the 3D tile be the star of the room.

If that's true, I think you need to concentrate on the geometry of that 3-D tile when planning for other shapes. They need to complement it, not compete. So I think the grouts should blend with the tiles, not make their shapes stand out by using contrasting grout. And I think whatever shape you pick for the floor, you should pick for the shower floor, but in a small scale (for non-slippery grip for your feet).

Also, I've learned the hard way that dark grout in a shower can be a problem - my medium gray grout has white stains. A bathroom designer told me that any product with phosphorus in it will do this. She mentioned that Epoxy grout can solve this problem. I don't know any more about it, but it would be worth looking into.

I agree with Becky. The dimensional tile should be the star of the show and introducing other geometric shapes and patterns like hexes and herringbones will make it WAY too busy. If it were me, I'd find a charcoal 2" porcelain squares for the shower floor (to match the color of the dimensional tile), and then do a matte white 12 x 12 or 12 x 24 tile for the rest of the bathroom floor to match the other walls of the shower surround. Here are some other inspiration photos with dimensional tile in bathrooms:

I like mixed tiles alot but I don't think the herringbone floor will go with the 3d tile at all - conflicting statements. I think the hex will go just fine as will the jumbo tile. Simplify the main floor - maybe a nice 24 x 24 or 30x30 would be great.

Good luck and be sure to post pictures!

For reference , this is loosely what we were going off of. the back feature wall behind the tub shouldn’t take on much water, only moisture, as the rain shower is in front of the tub. the bathroom and shower floor is what we are really hung up on.

That just made me dizzy and you have a mish mash busy DISASTER in the making.

Before one more step? Post the bath layout, and a few pics of baths you love, yes, use your google... Don't pass this advice by.

Do not combine the tub with the shower. Do not use anything in the shower that you cannot squeegee. And do not use that many different tiles.

Are you working with a kitchen and bath designer? Because you should be.

I would do the floors of bath and shower in the same tile, and shower walls in a different size of the floor tile. Like a hex floor and large square tiles for wall in the same material.

What is your plan for the shower niche? I don’t think you want a contrast on that wall. If you do the dark dimensional tile, try to find a smooth tile that matches so it all blends together.

You should also consider that your room isn’t ginormous, plus you have the angled ceiling that adds another element. I think simpler is better here.

If you wanted to choose a different tile for your accent, this look is pretty cool too.
