Small bathroom layout help

4 months ago

Hi, I’m remodeling a small bathroom and need some advice on the tile layout and where to place accent tiles.
The materials I’m planning to using:
Walls - 12x24 matte bright white porcelain tile with a subtle marble grain
Floor - 6x24 light wood-look porcelain tile in a white ash color
Niches: 8x8 washed-out floral porcelain tile
Accent tile: 3x12 light green glass tile
Originally, I wanted to use the green glass tile on the entire end wall and on the front of the tub, but that might be too expensive and a little tricky with the cuts.
I’d appreciate your ideas on the best way to combine these tiles. Where would you place the glass tile and other accents?
To add, the vanity and the slim tower cabinet will be custom built so the one attached is just generic. I already have brushed gold fauets and valves so I need to keep these.

    The green is a fresh pretty color. What kind of shower enclosure are you using? If not glass, then the green shower wall will not be well seen.

    I do not like wood tile on the wall at all. Keep the wood on the floor. I’d get a plain white, no veining for the walls. And green on the shower wall. Keep it simple. I don”t get how the printed motif tile relates to it all but it is such a small amount in the niches that I think it is fine.


    I’m curious about other people’s experience with cleaning soap residue and glass tile..

    I will start with a curtain but I'll definitely install a glass door in very near future.

    I already purchased these white tiles, but the veins are barely visible. All these tiles are very bright so I wanted to add these floral tiles to break the sterile apprearance a bit.


    I played with AI to get some mockups of different layouts which turned out suprisingly well.

    I like #7 with the shower faucet wall in white -


    Tile is tedious to replace (and expensive in a shower where the waterproofing has to redone) If it were me I would go really simple for the tile and then add other elements that are more easily replaceable for interest - vanity, lighting, faucets etc

    I like your very first image, at the top, and also #12. But that’s without knowing whether you plan to use a glass enclosure or a shower curtain. Wood-look tile is not to my personal taste under any circumstances, though I know it has its admirers. I can’t see what you have in the niches. Is it stone?

    It's right down here ( either ) and no need for OVER think Niches do not require an accent tile

    There is no need for the floral tile unless going on the floor . Will be very dated in two years

    Every trail of tears bath thread on this site, usually results from trying to combine too many ideas............: )

    Keep it s.i.m.p.l.e. AND stay in the same thread, Don't start new for every question,,,,please.

    First shower niches are IMO a poor idea and for sure do not need accent tile to show off shampoo bottles. I like 12 x24 porcealin tile for both bathroom floor and shower walls to keep things simple and more "timeless". The green in the flower tile and the green glass do not work together BTW


    Reposting the same dilemma 3 times will not get more help only confusion
