Same tile used for shower walls & bathroom floor

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoIt is quite popular to use the same tile on both the floor and the wall! Sometimes the exact same, sometimes a different size on the wall, or if you want to add something to break it up you could run an accent tile throughout the shower, or an accent wall! I have included some examples from displays in our showroom, and manufacturer photos!

Comments (3)We installed glass in one of our other houses, look great and so easily maintained. However you can also use acrylic panels at a fraction of the price of glass. Wickes do a good range of pre-cut ready to use kits wickes shower panels...See MoreSmall bathroom, Wall to wall tiles or partially painted?
Comments (3)If the space is small then I think you should keep to one type of tile for the floors and walls. If you don’t tile one wall make sure you tile up that wall a skirting board height (tricks your eye into thinking the floor is bigger). Don’t worry about tiling behind the wc, you can access the workings of the cistern through the removable flush plate- I had to completely replace the flushing mechanism in one of mine and it was only a 10 minute job despite feeling like it was keyhole surgery!

Comments (9)You absolutely have room for a wetroom - If everything is splashproof, imagine the shower without the quadrant enclosure, and a tanked floor with a couple of drain points. Try to avoid too much chrome in the splash zone as it watermarks. Bath, basin, loo etc smooth and white with no nooks/crannies for easy wiping down. We have an old school towel rail in ours, next to the shower, and the chrome does watermark so needs the odd polish. here are some pics of our master bathroom. 3m x 2m, admittedly with no loo in it. We could have fitted a loo had we made the shower zone a bit smaller and zoned with a clear screen as suggested above, but were lucky enough to have a separate WC....See MoreBathroom Tiles / shower tray advice
Comments (6)Just wondering whether it would look sleeker and larger with your Hex grey on the floor and your feature wall. It simplifies the look cutting down to just two different tiles. The hex grey will still look nice with the slate tray and the black shower surround. I'm not sure if it was an error, but you mention hex grey on the shower wall and the links you give are for black, sand and white. This is the grey Cement grey that can go on the floor and the wall, with the white everywhere else....See More

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoThank you all, for the input. Due to the fact that the Leonia Silver tile comes in different sizes, we do have options as far as using smaller/larger tiles & what we do w/them (pattern).
I was considering putting a glass subway tile on the shower walls, to match the Leoni Silver porcelain bath floor tile.
Here is a pic of the Leonia silver porcelain floor tile -
And, here's (2)pic. of the glass tile -
And, next to the Leonia -
I'm still not sure what we've decided...as far as going with 1 tile and using it for the shower walls AND bath floor. Or, still keeping w/the Leonia tile for bath floor & going w/a *different* porcelain tile for shower walls only. FYI - we are putting in a white acrylic shower pan.
The only thing...Im just not so sure about the smaller tiles/more tiles & grout lines. it's just like everything else. ...just got to maintenance it.

7 years agoWe weren't originally....my husband & I both have agreed we didn't want a decorative tile, but, since it's neutral/simple, I may chg. my mind. Well see,... I do like that it would add a little contrast.
I found an even better glass tile I liked, but, at $13 Sq ft....I don't think so. However, if we did(an accent)I wouldn't feel so guilty going w/the better looking one.

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoHere's a bathroom where I used the Leonia Silver on floor and shower walls. (Here there was a tub, but I don't think that really matters for your question. I'd have done the same thing if a shower stall were an option.) I used a wavy white tile as an accent (also from either Lowes or HD, can't recall), and smaller tiles on the wall than on the floor.
Color is a bit off in the listing photo, but you get the idea anyway. The one thing is that this tile doesn't offer a small mosaic option, which is usually best for a non-slippy shower floor (grout is your friend for footing). I'd check with the tile folks about whether they think that the tile has enough texture to be on the shower floor.

Your glass seems a decent match, but I'm not sure you want it for a whole shower, and I don't see the benefit over just using the smaller Leonia size...

7 years agoWe used that very tile on this project. 12x24 for it all. It made the room feel mor spacous, and I think it came out really well. We did use a different tile for the shower floor, and another for the deco band that tied it all together with some contrast.
