Bathroom Tile - help w/ color choice - pics
Comments (1)The b-room looks lovely as it is! My 2 cents: Find some other way to decorate and bring interest. Don't tile the wall behind the sink and toilet if the room gets much use, especially if the subway tiles are shiny; splashes will be a maintenance nightmare. I happen to know this for a fact! There is no place to stop wiping the splashes off the tile without leaving the neighboring tiles looking untended. Just my "lazy" opinion....I'm always averse to having to work to keep things looking nice, and my tiles were always splashed. I'm very glad we don't live in that house anymore.

Comments (29)I used Whisper Gray Tile Shop grout and it's perfect. It is the lightest gray available. I grouted a demo sheet myself first to check it out. Great $20 spent to try a grout color before you commit!! You aren't supposed to use Sanded Grout for Polished stones as it could scratch them. We ended up doing it anyway (not heeding my own advice I guess) but our Tile Guy was very careful with a sponge and delicate. Sanded grout holds better than Unsanded also. On our honed floor we also did sanded. So for my master if I have this dilemma, I would go Epoxy grout. More $ but best choice. My bathroom I'll share pictures of will hardly be used (off a bonus room, not any bedroom)....See MoreHelp me on daughter's bathroom tile choices!
Comments (9)I think either one in the herringbone is fine. it just depends on your decor. you coud go w/the more muted tone if you think the turquoise will get tiring. up to you. if you do use it, you could use the little mosaic in the niche. or, you could do a larger mosaic accent like this niche, but i'd put in some shelves. this is a wasted niche space. see how they did some shelving in this one? much more practical Know too that herringbone patterns take 4X as long to do, and will probably cost more. AND, your tile person must be proficient at it in order to get it symmetrical. there is math involved in knowing how to start the pattern. this is mine w/4x12 subway tile. both sides are exactly symmetrical! we took 2.5 hours just to dry layout this pattern. another option is doing just your white tile, but making your niche a bit more flashy. if you have girls using this shower, there will be plenty of room for all the products at least w/this type of niche, you get to use your mosaic tile for accent, but it's not overwhelming, and you'll get enough space for products. I think this one looks nice. I'd make it a bit taller for tall bottles. just make sure the niche is placed perfectly between the tiles so that you don't have tiny sliver cuts around the niche. I like this set up too....See MoreBathroom tile choices Please help!
Comments (3)there are thousands of pictures on her w/options exactly like you've chosen. Have you looked at them? We have no idea what the bathroom layout looks like. don't know how the shower is being built or how you want the tile laid. I did real marble on my floor like this w/a lot more decorative items in the room. (if you click on my name, bathroom redo, you'll see it). all that white is a very cold looking bathroom. (and the choices you've selected too). Without knowing what else you plan on doing, it's hard to say. All your options can work just fine. 3 and 4 might need something else to break up all the cold white marble look. option 3/4,,,you'll basically have something like this, but w/the gold. The wainscot is a nice addition. If the walls were painted an actual color, I think it would look very nice. maybe a light wood shelf, or a wood stook, a nice runner. number two will have this look (w/the slate floor) The teak stool is trying, but it's not enough! In mine I added a wood ceiling, some blue, plants, and decorative tile (I have th basketweave marble in the water closet) Not saying you have to do all of that, but a little warmth/contrast can be good. You can see a glimpse of the wood ceiling in this shot. imagine if it was white, the vanity white, the window white and no black contrast. it would be a very cold looking room. Here's one that is similar to your choices, but w/out the gold hardware. It's nice A little too much white for me though. what do you think about doing a 'rug accent' w/your basketweave? Now compare those similar elements to this one. (with gold!) Look at the diff a little contrast makes. That black door, black lights/mirror. Some painted wood paneling (wainscot would be fine too) and the vintage looking chandelier. They all add interest to the cold/white marble look. marble top, white vanity, gold hardware. just the addition of this wood mirror and accent pieces helps immensely to add a bit of warmth. Your option 1 may look better if you went w/this type of vanity instead of white. But if the vanity is not an option, then you could do a warmer wall color, some art, maybe some driftwood or walnut shelves, even the mirrors. and this option might look better w/a bit more black since you can't do the vanity, bring in the black like they show here in the trim...See Morephuninthesun
