Take a look at Apavisa. We have them in large formats (120cm x 240cm (47 inches x 95 inches) and 160cm x 320cm (63 inches x 126 inches)).

Wow. I’m revising my earlier opinion about tiles on walls. The Apavisa tiles are pure works of art.

I think that one turned out really well.

We agree, I’ll show it to the tiler when the time comes 🙂

At first, I wanted to use vintage tiles as accents, but then I worried I’d get tired of them quickly. Textured tiles are out for me for the same reason, plus the maintenance effort.
A friend has beige tiles with grooves, which look a bit like wood. They look great, but since she also has them in the shower, lime scale and dust stick in the grooves. I don’t have time for anything anyway, so I definitely don’t want to be cleaning tiles more ;-)

We feel very much the same way. A year ago, I really liked vintage tiles, but even though I don’t have them myself, I’ve already grown tired of seeing them everywhere else.

My husband kept mentioning the issue with lime scale in the grooves or textured surfaces, but honestly, I didn’t really believe it…

Well, they are beige… so it’s not so noticeable. But you can’t look too closely 😉

And that’s exactly our problem. We do look closely, and with white tiles, it would probably annoy us pretty quickly. Thanks!

Dear engineers,
what do we all need self-driving cars for,
what the country really needs are self-cleaning homes 😉

I’d be the first in line for that 🙂

Would a “glass panel” with a printed motif be an alternative?

But wouldn’t that always have to be removed, like with a glass door? That sounds more complicated, especially if the faucet and shower rail are also attached there?

So we didn’t consider glass at all. Does anyone here have that?

Here is our shower.
It’s a polarizing topic, even among couples. But I enjoy it every day. 😉

The 60cm x 60cm (24in x 24in) tiles are intended for the shower floor and one wall.

Additionally, rustic "wood" tiles will be used.

Although this is from the old apartment, it might serve as an idea. I would also minimize wall tiles, and we had a flush-mounted tile panel made of Bärwolf glass mosaic between a flush-mounted mirror and the vanity unit. The photo shows the bathroom where the (furniture) vanity was set into a kind of niche:

In another bathroom, the vanity was freestanding, which looked good as well (unfortunately I don’t have a photo). In the new house, we didn’t use any wall tiles at all, but waterproof and washable plaster instead (which admittedly is more delicate than one might expect).

Thank you very much for the pictures!

At the moment, we are leaning towards moving away from the structured tiles.

Let’s see.
