MY choices for bathrooms are much different. I like 12 x24 plain porcelain tile for both bathroom floor and shower walls , the same tile on;y smaller for shower floor , matching grout too. This gives you a simple easy to live with background . Fewer grout lines and allows changes in wall color accessories all done for minimal cost compared to the day you hate the busy tile choices. The floor tiles are okay but the shower tile is IMO way too busy .

Definitely too busy with the Marquesa Floret on shower walls and a checkerboard on floor. Pick one small scale tile for all flooring and plain on walls.

Also is that marble? I've had marble in my shower on the floor for 17 years and I wouldn't recommend it. It gets really stained, the grout gets dirty and it looks awful. I have to have it regrouted and recaulked every year. I'd recommend either porcelain or ceramic for a bathroom.

Patricia's recommendation is a great one. I did just that for a client and it's beautiful.

Large format porcelain with very realistic marbling on shower walls, the same tile in 2x2 on the floor: My client really wanted the panel, which came in marble, that was her choice, and since it's only on a small part of the wall, it works fine.

Select the one you like best; I would not do 2 similar patterns in a smaller space.

A great idea!

Do the checkerboard in a diagonal checker board, and the shower tile just on the back wall, use a solid white tile for the side walls.

You've chosen the tiles because you were drawn to them for a reason, go with your gut.

Many on these forums are afraid of mixing patterns and/or colors, so just be aware that your taste for mixing them might be more eclectic.

Get actual tile samples and look at them in your space.

Here are your three tiles together. We don't know the layout or how these tiles will interact. It could work if the colors from the wall tile match the colors of the floor tile.

What are the measurements of your flooring space? Checkerboard sometimes does not translate well in too small of a space.

Show us pics of the room and your vanity, mirrors, and lighting. It takes a lot of skill to pull off and is about much more than just color. I think your scheme could be pulled off if all of the other elements mesh.

My biggest concern is how the shower tile looks with your tub color. A large field of that tile in a shower reads very differently than with a white tub.

Note that folks on Houzz tend to be very conservative about pattern mixing so you may not get much support for any mosaic and floor mixing. I think it works or doesn’t - no inbetween with an accent wall of tile. It just looks like you could find the right tile to do your whole tub/shower.

These are great comments - thank you! I am attaching some mock-ups I did with AI of my bathroom and what I am envisioning. The images are a little funky - the shower door, wall color, vanity top will be different, but it gives the idea. The floor tiles will be more similar in size to the picture with the shower in it. The vanity and all fixtures are still yet to be chosen - vanity will either be wood or some version of blue.

I am really struggling to figure out if combining these tiles will pan out in person.

To answer a couple questions:

- The shower tile is ceramic, not marble.

- In person, the silver floor tile is a better match to the Marquesa Floret than the white tile. The pictures on the computer show the reverse. I am not married to these tiles though, still looking for a better match.

I think they look great together, however, in a different bathroom with walk in shower. The tile looks a bit too elegant for your tub. But if you go ahead with this, I'd certainly do a wood vanity. Even better if you can do a wall mounted one.

Re: tile you want to use on floor

Is it rated for floor use? With 12x12 you won't have many grout joints, so you have to count on tile for resistance to slipping. You may want to verify that the Coefficient of Friction is sufficently high. I might be wrong, but a matte finish says glazed/low CoF to me.

In those small patterned tiles there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Consider using a neutral large field tile but framing out the patterned tile like this

You will get just as much impact by doing this without it overwhelming the space while keeping it from fighting with the contrasting pattern on the floor.
