Really struggling to find a tile for ensuite
Hi,
i am having a wet room built and I have chosen and love my hexagon mosaic calacatta, this will be on the floor. I did not want marble on the wall I just wanted a plain white tile so the floor would be the focus, I did have my heart set on a tile to go with this but when I put this in the room it turned out to be very grey and not white. it's not what I wanted. As wanted something lighter and closer to white. My room is being tiled on Tuesday and im not to sure what to go for. Someone suggested a small white metro on the wall but I am not to sure if it will look to busy.
Here is a picture of my options but I don't like the big grey or big white tile.
Can anyone offer any suggestions, ?

Comments (14)As OnePlan says, layout works & not being greeted by a wc is a bonus! Get the lighting right & it won't be a problem not having a window. I would recommend having lighting switched separately as well as extractor fan,with secondary lighting for when you may need to use the wc in the night etc & don't want to be blinded by the main lights - wall lights or LEDs at low level under vanity unit, left wall & right wall from end of bath to wc for example. Invest in a mirrored cabinet with integrated lighting & shaver socket & would recommend a large mirror on the left wall to make the room feel more spacious. We have fitted a mirror from ikea several times on previous projects, 2m x 80cm for £80. Regarding tile choice I wouldn't be to concerned about the finish of the tile if your lighting is right. I have gone with the same tile for both walls & floor in ensuite & small bathrooms which helps the room feel bigger. Whites & neutral tones are always a winner in smaller spaces. Hope the above helps & good luck with your project, put up some photos once you have completed it! Regards Karl...See MoreNew En suite bathroom
Comments (8)Another possibility would be to install a standard, white toilet bowl with concealed cistern and get the seat in a custom colour to suit your bathroom. It would probably be cheaper than a coloured toilet and might solve your problem. Good luck and please post a picture of your finished bathroom. I can't wait to see how it turns out....See MoreEnsuite refurb, shower enclosure
Comments (3)We did exactly as you are proposing and when we took away the shower glass/frame, discovered that the holes left were actually very neat and small. We changed our shower base to a large oblong as the room size could take it and changed the screen to one large frameless screen. We simply filled the small holes in the tiles with a color matched grout, and they were virtually invisible, possibly helped by the fact that I think the eye was drawn to the larger glass screen and the greater simplicity of the lines. Hope it works for you too!...See MoreSmall en-suite bathroom, to tile or to wallpaper...
Comments (6)Personally I would put large tiles on the floor as well as in the shower, as herringbone will mean a lot of grout lines on the floor to get grubby. Then you could use the herringbone tiles on the wall behind the sink and make a feature of that wall? And/or on the wall above the bath (though it would be a hell of a job for the tilers with that slope, but can be done)? The bath panel could be either the large tiles or the herringbone. What’s the plan for the black long tiles - I like the idea of using those somewhere, maybe on the false wall behind the loo? Black herringbone as a nod to the white herringbone but to give a contrasting colour. Are the marble tiles real marble, or porcelain marble style? They are lovely by the way. If they are real marble I would be a little wary of using them in the shower as they are porous and may stain or spall, also mineral deposits can leach out causing rust stains especially with all those lovely veins. Calacatta is a particularly porous marble, more so than Carrara for example. If they are real then I would limit them to wall use (the sink wall and possibly the wall behind the bath as I say above) and perhaps use the black herringbone in the shower instead?...See MoreUser 1
