Hello dear forum,

We have been thinking for weeks about which areas in the bathroom should be tiled but can’t find a solution. That’s why we are hoping for your help.

We want to tile as little as possible, but we have the problem that there is a window on the wall opposite the shower, and we don’t know how to tile around it without it looking awkward. Also, we are unsure how to tile around the bathtub. And for the wall under the large window in general, should we plaster it, tile halfway up, or something else? We just aren’t creative enough here.

At the washbasin, we would like to tile only halfway up, and behind the toilet, we want to tile just the wall behind it, also halfway up.

We would really appreciate any tips.

Best regards,
Ivonne

There are some basic rules to follow:
-The shower should always be fully tiled up to the ceiling.
-Behind the washbasin, tiles should also go up to the ceiling because of the lighting.
If you need to save money, the rest can be tiled up to 1.50 m (5 feet) high.
You’re really a troll but entertaining.

Slowly it’s just a bit too obviously blunt. It can be done better!

Then our shower would be tiled all the way up to the ceiling, so about 4m (13 feet) high. That definitely makes sense!

Since there are so many advocates of tile minimalism here, I’m posting the complete opposite.
I’m really into stone! And especially with the lighting, in my opinion, tiles stand out better.

Hello Alessandro,

I would message you privately, but I don’t have enough posts.
I have two questions:

1. What size are the floor tiles? 75x75cm (30x30 inches)?

2. Why did you choose glass for the shower instead of building a small wall? When I think about our glass shower enclosure with wiping down and so on…

Otherwise, great bathroom!
