Forsberg2122 Jan 2021 17:40Hello,
I bought a condominium last year that is currently under construction through a developer, and in a few weeks I have the selection appointment. The apartment will be rented out initially.
Attached is the bathroom layout. According to the building specifications, I can choose tiles up to 60 € including VAT (about $65) and roughly 60% of the bathroom wall area may be tiled. Otherwise, I would need to pay an additional fee. However, I’m not sure about the tile size, how high they should be installed, or the tile pattern to use. I would appreciate any advice. Unfortunately, the tile showrooms are all currently closed, so I can’t get any inspiration there.
At the moment, I’m considering dark floor tiles and light (cream/beige) ceramic wall tiles, sized either 30 x 60 cm (12 x 24 inches) or 30 x 90 cm (12 x 36 inches). The tiled area should be about 1.20 m high (4 feet), but the long left wall (4.12 m / 13.5 feet) only needs tiling up to the baseboard height. The shower area should, of course, be tiled up to the ceiling. For the area with the washing machine and dryer, I’m unsure whether it makes sense to tile all the way up. What do you think?
What tile size would you recommend for the walls in this narrow room? Half-bond (staggered) pattern? Third-bond pattern?
What size would be best for the floor tiles? Would it make more sense to lay rectangular floor tiles crosswise in this case, or should they always be aligned parallel to the wall tiles?
The hallway and storage room will also be tiled. Is there anything important I should consider for these areas?
Thanks in advance.
I hope it’s okay to share a plan section here. There is no information about the creator within the plan section.
Regards,
Robert

Bertram10022 Jan 2021 17:47You really can't go wrong. It's a matter of personal taste.
I would choose rectangular tiles and install them vertically. This will make the room appear taller.
Personally, I’m not a fan of the brick (or running bond) pattern. It reminds me of commercial flooring, which I wouldn’t want in a bathroom.
You don’t have to tile around the washing machine area, but you can if you like how it looks.
For the narrow room, I would definitely lay the floor tiles horizontally to make it appear wider.
Why not show the tiles you’ve picked?

Forsberg2122 Jan 2021 18:23Thank you. I haven’t seen tiles installed vertically yet. But it sounds interesting. I haven’t chosen the exact tiles (colors) yet. They should appeal to as many people as possible and look elegant and modern.

Bertram10022 Jan 2021 18:28I had my shower tiled vertically. I’m attaching a photo. However, the tiling was done very poorly and everything will be redone. So, what you see here is not the final standard. 😉
Try searching on Pinterest for "long bathroom" or use Google Image Search.
You’ll also find matching furniture suggestions. I just looked myself, and there are so many beautiful and unique bathrooms with stylish tiles, it’s hard to choose.
You can either emphasize or minimize the length, whichever you prefer.
Every layout has its own advantages.
