Thinking of having there subway tiles around my loo like this design as it is situated similar to this
The other end of the smallish bathroom we are getting rid of the bath and having a walk in shower but not keen on small tiles because too much grout
Any suggestions for something to go along the 2 shower walls and maybe floor suggestions??

Help!!! Off-white hex floor tiles clash with white wall tiles/plumbing
Comments (39)Jonathandb1972, I was thinking of going with a grout that is the same colour or lighter than the grey tile. The hex will be grouted in a medium grey. This has already been done in the loo (the hex) and looks great. Neither are grouted in the above picture. Do you think there will still be issues with where the grout lines are if they are the same or lighter than the tile? Also, where the hex tile in the shower meets the grey tile will mainly be covered by the shower's profile. However, the shower only goes up to about 2m, so there will still be a visible "meeting" of tiles above that. My builder is a little concerned about how this will look as he will have to cut small pieces of tile to fill up the edge, which may stain once they start grouting. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best......See MoreShower room tile ideas please.
Comments (11)I would (if the tile stripes line up) do the back wall that has the shower and the bath on it with the striped tiles, but put them in vertically. Since I'm not a huge fan of corner baths (they always look dated to me) and you have space for a free standing tub, I think, I'd go for something like this... But, if you go for the plan you have now, I still think that the back wall in the striped tiles will look modern and not overpowering if you keep the rest fairly plain....See MoreWhat wall tiles would make my utility room ceiling feel higher?
Comments (4)Whatever tile you choose, do not install the small upstand - it is not needed if you are tiling the wall and it will make the wall appear even shorter. Make sure your worktop installer knows you don't want the upstand as you are tiling and therefore needs to do a good job and not leave a big gap at the back of the worktop - tile should cover whatever small gap might be left....See MoreMix of tiles and shower panels in small bathroom?
Comments (7)Ah ok! i would price up both options as your refurb wont be cheap then, it may be better to do exactly what you want as you’ll still be left with grout? I know the panels can go straight over tiles if necessary but do they sell ”trim” for dealing with the window recess?? Are you installing a glass screen so as to delineate the shower area? You could also just paint the remaining walls although they may need reskimming.....See MoreKim Moffat
