Help…Mixing arabesque & penny tiles in bathroom

last month
last modified: last month

Hello, I’m designing a small bathroom corner shower makeover. I have a new black 36x36 inch shower pan base and the walls are already painted SW Ancient Marble (a light green grey color.) I’d like to lay white arabesque/lantern tiles on the shower walls and install black & white penny tiles on the bathroom floor (not the shower floor, which will be the black pan.) I can’t find any retail displays or online photos that show these two tile patterns in one room. Does anyone have any photos to share? Thanks in advance.😊

EDIT: Rural ranch house built in 1945 originally as a summer camp on small lake…hence the handmade pine door w/ latch (keeping as I love it!) Bathroom is 6.5x7 feet & is the only bathroom on this floor. First photo is the new 3x3 feet shower pan to be installed (& some 3x3” & 4x3.5” samples I bought.) Was wondering if going w/ 6x5 or 6x6 arabesque shower wall tiles would work with the small floor hex tiles that I like.

Remaining photos below show original larger 1940s cast iron shower tub combo & the painted plank floors that will be changed out. (There is a tub in the downstairs bathroom, so one is not needed in this room.) Was planning on moving the window over a few feet to be inside the shower.

Sink faucet is matte black. Was planning on matte black for shower plumbing too. Also was hoping to eventually put white beadboard halfway on walls, but am not wed on this.
