Bathroom with sloping ceiling areas - where to tile up to?
After my husband did some investigation into a small leak, the possibility of refurbishing the main bathroom has now moved further up our list of priorities! This is how the bathroom has looked since we moved in, except without the mess and clutter, which is very recent!
I’m after a deeper and more generous bath, and ideally would like a shower over it, although I’m concerned that we may need to move the spotlights as they’d be very close to a shower head (we have showers in two en-suites as well).
My question is, given the sloping nature of the ceiling, where should we tile up to, assuming we can fit a shower? I‘d like to keep some of the wall areas un-tiled, and don’t want too much of a ”clinical” look.
Thanks very much

Where to tile up to in bathroom?
Comments (4)If it's only intended to be used as a bath then up to the bottom edge of the window. If a bath/shower combination then up to the ceiling. One other suggestion is to consider using a marble/stone slab or single large tile for the window cill instead of small tiles. Makes it much easier to wipe clean and there's no grout lines to get mouldy. Also make sure it's angled down slightly to allow water to flow off rather than pool (again assuming it's a shower plus bath situation)....See Moretiled skirting in a bathroom - using wall or floor tiles?
Comments (3)On top of the skirting? No way! I think that would look awful. Far too bulky in a sleek designed room. We have an ensuite which has the wall tiles sitting on top of the floor tiles to give the impression of more of a wet room effect. We also have a main bathroom and in here have the floor tiles cut to the size of the skirting that was originally in there height wise and then placed on top of the floor tiles So one room has nothing and the other room has the floor tiles up the wall as a skirting....See MoreLong time no see!!

Comments (34)Thanks everyone! @minnie - yes we were away on and off for over a year. Sold our main house in December so just been in this small rental of my parent's since then. - we do have a vanity to go under the sink but not sorted it yet. The tiles sit onto the sink and follow the curve otherwise we would have replaced it. But also it's got some complex plumbing as the shower comes off it so we though we would leave it alone. Lol. Remember it's a cheap house in a cheap area so not a high spec place. It won't make much difference replacing the sink for us value wise. - tiles - it used a special tile paint that you mix a solution into. Sanded first although you can do it direct. It took many many hours to cover the blue, LOL. I did do thin layers though so they are durable. Couldn't find a nice grey so ended up going white. Made the bath panels from wood and used a kitchen cupboard paint I had from the kitchen units we redid. (will update that thread soon!) Sprayed the white plastic shower rail, sanded the radiator and repainted it. Most of the room was cleaning and paint and fillings and scraping. It's not perfect but with a new light in there and I've now added a white shower curtain, I love it. So costs were mostly in the paint and DIY stuff Inc bath polish and repair kit, wood for the bath and the floor was £100 fitted plus new border tiles off ebay. Oh and I replaced the shower hose and fittings.!...See MoreSuggestions for ceiling colour for bathroom
Comments (11)A pic looking at the door side of the bathroom. Door will be the same colour as the main room (Little Green Juniper Ash), as I am looking for a cocooning effect. But also thinking can't be too too dark in the bathroom, hence pondering what ceiling colour to go with 😅. Second pic is another white that looked to match the white shower tiles and the green tiles. It would be Little Greene Slaked Lime 105 https://www.littlegreene.com/slaked-lime. I think I'm at a coin toss between white or pink plaster colour. Both colours look good with the tiles and the Juniper Ash colour for the bathroom door, and in the main area outside the bathroom. 🤔...See MoreJo Jones
