ᐅ Is a tile height of 2 meters (approximately 6.5 feet) sufficient in a shower?

Hello, thank you very much for your help.
However, I didn’t express myself clearly. The L-shaped wall will be fully tiled, including the top. But the "main" wall, where the short part of the L connects, will only be tiled up to 2 m (6.5 ft). This is inside the shower, after all. Since our tiles are 25 cm (10 inches) high, 2 m (6.5 ft) looks better. A 10 cm (4 inch) strip above that would look a bit odd, wouldn’t it? This way, there would be about eight tiles high all around the bathroom—except for the shower wall, where the 10 cm (4 inch) strip will be finished with a wood tile, just like the raised areas in front of the sink and toilet, which have the same treatment.
We are both 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in) or shorter. My husband also mentioned that, with the new shower having a rain shower head, there would be less splashing. But you still often use the handheld shower to rinse off soap, I guess.
Apart from that, we’ve already considered grout lines and the placement of the wall connection curves and fixtures.
Regarding the overall tile height—I’m in favor of it being tall, but I think anything taller than the door might look a bit strange.
Best regards

And what if you just use the 10cm (4 inches) thickness with the wood tile? So that the entire shower is finished all around at the top with the wood tile?

Hello @WildThing That kind of ruins my nice "concept." Everywhere else where the wood tile is installed, there is a horizontal support surface as well. It's almost like a 10cm (4 inch) thick board resting on the partition wall and the pedestal wall of the sink. The situation would be different at the wall. There, I would almost prefer to have a full row of wall tiles installed on top… Damn, this all seems to have a catch. I'm not really happy with anything yet. What happens if you splash water on the un-tiled wall? It dries again, but does it leave stains...?

Maybe you could share the bathroom floor plan with the furniture layout drawn in and a brief explanation of where you plan to install tiles. Perhaps someone else might have a good idea.

Is the wall already built up, or is everything still in the planning stage?
If needed, you could raise the L-shaped wall to 2.25 meters (7 ft 5 inches). However, make sure the areas behind it still receive enough natural light if you raise it further.
Otherwise, I would suggest placing the 10 cm (4 inches) strip at the bottom so the tiles are complete at the top (people usually pay less attention to the bottom).

At the moment, I only have a vague spatial idea of your bathroom. Maybe you could post a floor plan of the bathroom and highlight the disputed area.

I don’t understand the problem and I’ll repeat myself: just install 9 rows of tiles in the shower. With the wall being 2.10 meters (6 ft 11 in) high, it will have a small strip. On the wall itself, put a 10 cm (4 inch) strip, and the rest of the room will also have 9 rows of tiles. This will be less noticeable later than if you stick with 8 rows.

By the way, a height of 2.10 meters (6 ft 11 in) was often used in the past for a partition wall. The shelf on top is for shampoo...

Also, from 10 cm (4 inch) height, only about 6 cm (2.5 inch) remain because you have to smooth out the grout joints.

You could also make the wall higher, but then it’s no longer a shelf... Leaving about 15 cm (6 inch) of space looks strange as well...
