Hello everyone,
We are currently selecting our floor and wall tiles. At first, I thought we would only fully tile the shower area / shower niche on the walls.
I was planning to just plaster the toilet area and the washbasin to make it feel a bit more homey, even though the bathroom isn’t really a place where you spend much time sitting :-)
1. What do you think about this? Would that be too daring? Would it be better to have the toilet and washbasin areas tiled as well, about 1m or 1.2m (3.3 ft or 4 ft) high?
2. If we do tile the toilet and washbasin areas, should we also tile the side wall of the toilet area? Please see the sketch.

finish with a full tile so the edge looks neatI agree, I would base it on the tile height. For example, in our rental apartment, we have a tile backsplash of about 120cm (47 inches) high—4 rows of 30x60cm (12x24 inch) tiles—which doesn’t seem uncommon. (Our current builder also uses this as a standard for most areas.) If you have narrower decorative tiles or a border somewhere, I would probably adjust accordingly rather than insisting “I want exactly xy cm (inches) of tile backsplash.”netzplan schrieb:
I would initially leave out the side wall of the toilet.Will a toilet paper holder be mounted on the wall? Where will the toilet brush go, and where would the bin for feminine hygiene products be placed, if needed?I would feel more comfortable with tiles on the wall there (since it only takes one accident), but ultimately it’s your decision.

The specified sanitary fixtures, or door and window openings, serve as references within the room. I would not go beyond the top edge of the door frame.

So, if I let the tile at the washbasin overhang by 30cm (12 inches), then the wall-mounted faucet would be roughly centered on the overhanging tile. In my opinion, that would look off; I would finish with a tile without a hole.

Where could the waste bin for feminine hygiene products possibly be located? For most male planners, this is probably a forgotten “oops” question.

In my opinion, that would look off, I would finish with a "non-perforated" tile.
