It's a pretty dramatic tile. I wouldn't install it outside the shower. I like the way it looks in the picture. Is this a rendering of your bathroom, or are you doing something similar? I agree with your inclination to keep it simple and not overuse the tile. The shiplap looks like too much to me also.

I think all of thises choices are ver specifici . Have you always loved blue , is this your forever home ? I tend to like much simpler bathrooms where I can add accents in things easily changed so hat you are planning the exact opposite .I would never mix those with shiplap anywhere . I like a 12 x24 porcelain tile for both bathroom floors and shower walls with the same tile only smaller for the shower floor. If an accent tile is wanted I do one off center vertical strip in that accent and uae that for the backsplash. So what you are planning is IMO going to be one of those things you look at a couple of years and say what was I thinking .

I am not clear from your description what is going where. There is a big plain blue rectangular tile, and there is a stone looking tile that is also on the shower walls in your first picture.

Thank you all! Love your wisdom. This picture of the bathroom is something I found online to show the Vitabella tile I plan to install in the shower. We have a white tub.; so the big blue tiles would be the shower wall. The shiplap shown in the pic is not what I intend for the bathroom. I am thinking either plain painted wall with vanity and mirror or some tiles behind the mirror. If covering the wall behind the mirrors with tiles is a good idea, what tiles would be a good choice? Thanks again for your valuable inputs.

About the vanity I am considering :

If those hex are gloss, they are not going to be rated for a shower floor. The whole reason the inspiration picture works is the natural cherry vanity. That drab lifeless gray vanity is a giant NOPE. You need the warmth of the wood that picks up the orange veining through the tile.

By extending the same tile from your shower into the bathroom, you risk making your bathroom appear smaller. If you use large tiles in your shower, they will naturally become the focal point of the space. To enhance this effect, consider choosing a beautiful complementary color for the rest of the bathroom. This approach will ensure that the shower remains the centerpiece, especially when using large beautiful tiles as you have chosen, creating a cohesive and visually appealing design.

In my opinion the blue shower tile is already overwhelming the bathroom. Think I would much prefer a tile that will coordinate better with the material behind the vanity.

The grey vanity would work, but notice how the contrasting orange tone of the vanity in your pic really makes the blue tile pop. I’d steal their look and do the same.

@Noisy Thoughts bold tiles overwhelm some people, but the bathroom doesn't care. As Patricia asked, has this color blue always been your favorite? Is this your forever home? Does the adjoining room share the color scheme? Yes, yes, yes? Great! That shower tile is beautiful.

Having the tile just end, especially if there is only a raw edge to the tile, is very unfinished looking. There are two useful solutions. One is to continue the tile onto the vanity wall. That's a great solution for a small bathroom, especially a very small bathroom. Knowing the orientation from the entrance to the room would be helpful. The second option is to frame the shower area with a small 4" bump out, creating an alcove shower. That takes 4" of space, so that solution might not work for you if your bathroom is really small.

For your vanity, the effect of light grey will be different than the effect of wood. It's your choice, but think about it. The trend is towards adding touches of wood throughout a home with wood doors, closet doors, cabinets and vanities, even as the trim work is painted. It's a bit weird to me, but I suppose we'll all get used to it.

I love your inspiration picture that you posted and I would follow it through by using a similar vanity and no tile behind the mirrors.
