Textured tile will be harder to clean as you get older. We are very pleased with our lager format porcelain. No slip and fewer grout lines. Add color and decor with textile, wallpaper or paint, light fixtures, countertop, etc.

Edit to clarify: not a built in shelf- a built in bench

Only 1 pic posted. You did not post a layout or any relevant pictures of the potential choices.

Ok- I’ll work on posting it. Thanks for the interest.

The first picture will be vertically set as will the accent wall (fez ocean)

Alternatively, thoughts about doing the large wall in the ocean fez and the two ends in the white fez ( which has many shades of white) and the floor in the Santorini.( which also has many shades of white)?

I would skip the textured tile for the shower, it looks un-squeegee-able.

I also personally think that the Fez and the 12 x 24's are too out of scale to be harmonious together, but this is a matter of taste.

If you choose a very large tile for the shower floor, it will have an envelope cut. Many people prefer to use small tiles for that reason, so they can be sloped for the drain without big cuts.

Thanks for those comments. That was a concern about the squeegee-ablility( love that word!)
Here is the white fez that I was thinking of coupling with the ocean fez. I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts about putting the two together( separate walls)

The Santorini snow also comes in 4x12- would that work better? Or do you have either a suggestion for a different tile? Or a size tile that you think may work better with the Fez which is 2.5x5? We need the floor tile to be ADA compliant ( no marble/ gloss)
