Hello,
we are currently planning our bathroom and are wondering whether we should tile the bathroom walls all the way up or only halfway.
Bathroom: approximately 8 m² (86 sq ft)
Guest WC: approximately 1.8 m² (19 sq ft)
Halfway would be about 1.20 m (4 feet) high.

The baseboards are mainly intended for the living areas, so the hallway (door to the guest toilet) and the door from the hallway to the living room.
You can make the baseboards yourself.
I’m quite reluctant to install the wall tiles myself (I have never done that before), and will I be able to perfectly match the grout color of the other tiles in the room? I don’t think so.
Solution 3 could be an option, or maybe solution 4.
The problem is that the guest toilet is a very small rectangle.
The toilet is in the right corner, and directly opposite on the left is the washbasin. The wall with the door is always next to the toilet and washbasin.

I don’t understand the builder in this case. On the living side, what does the baseboard have to do with the tiles in the bathroom?
Regarding your questions: I respect people who tile themselves. I did a very small area myself in the utility room. It’s doable, especially with a leveling system. The grout color is not the main issue if you use the same grout (you can ask about that). It’s more about mixing the consistency correctly. At first, people always add too much water. But cutting small pieces precisely, like those needed around door frames, definitely takes some practice.
Concerning a toilet on the same wall: some only tile the section around the toilet and washbasin, about 30 to 50cm (12 to 20 inches) high. The rest of the wall remains unfinished, except for the baseboard.

Sorry, I didn’t express myself clearly.
In the living area, they leave out the last baseboard to the left and right of the door frame, and then after door installation, we have to install the last baseboard up to the door frame ourselves.
Doing the wall tiling ourselves is not an option for me.
Our solutions would either be to accept the gap, tile up to the ceiling, or leave out the tiles on the door side.
The last option would be to have the door installed immediately in the guest bathroom and hallway (where the problems occur) and have the door frames masked during painting (if the builder even agrees to that).
