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.

Unfortunately, my wife saw it differently. We now have it half-height all around. My husband also initially thought differently. My proposed solution: we start it as I suggested. If he really doesn’t like it at all, we’ll intervene in time and have the tiles installed additionally.
What came of it is shown above 😀
I think it also depends on the room. In a bathroom, we will have tiles up to about half height almost everywhere because anything else would look too busy to me: the shower fully tiled up to the ceiling, next to it the toilet and washbasin half-tiled, then a gap, and then the bathtub half-tiled again. Visually, that would be too "jagged" for me. That’s why the gap between the toilet and the bathtub will also be tiled halfway up. In the other bathroom, there’s less going on over a larger area, so fewer wall tiles are planned. Neither of us likes full-height tiling 😎

That’s not entirely true. There are plenty of examples with floor-to-ceiling tiles. For instance, we did that (I posted the design) 😎 Just search bathrooms on Dr. Google, and about 50% of the pictures show floor-to-ceiling tiles. Just because about 50% do it that way doesn’t mean it looks better or nicer.
But I also wonder why people make such a big deal out of something like that.

Good grief, don’t make it so complicated and take a step back mentally: just let the builder install the door frame in the bathroom, then it’s their problem. Either you WANT it that way*… or you accept the lesser evil (included in the price or the best option in terms of door frame, however you prefer).
In the end, it really doesn’t matter at all how the door frame looks on the inside of a 2 m² (22 sq ft) bathroom from the other side or the side… no one’s going to notice. Guests don’t care about the tiles anyway, they’ll just use the bathroom. And the homeowner surely has bigger concerns or responsibilities than worrying about such a “problem.” There’s no significant advantage or disadvantage, unless you’re convinced otherwise.*
