Hello everyone,
I am currently considering how to tile the bathroom in my new apartment. Unfortunately, I am a bit unsure because I have chosen very large tiles. These are classic tiles in a concrete-look finish (wall: 120 x 60cm (47 x 24 inches), floor: 60 x 60cm (24 x 24 inches)) and wood-look finish (120 x 30cm (47 x 12 inches)). Could you possibly give me some advice on the best and most practical way to tile the bathroom? I have uploaded some images of the bathroom, showing how I imagine the tiles could be laid. What do you think? I have tried to keep the tiles as large as possible to preserve the tile format.
I hope you understand the drawings—I’ve at least made an effort. I am especially unsure about the wall with the toilet.
I look forward to any opinions and hope for some great suggestions 🙂

(...)hm… not all the way to the ceiling in the shower, my tiler wouldn’t have done that.I see. Our tiler actually recommended it. Should I start with the shower niche, which is always damp, and then paint the remaining 50-70cm (20-28 inches) of wall up to the ceiling?

I noticed that right away as well.
The washbasin and toilet are really confusing to me.
Hmm… not running all the way up to the ceiling in the shower—that’s something my hairdresser wouldn’t have done. In our case, the hairdresser did what WE wanted, not the other way around.
We also don’t have a ceiling-high shower; instead, it ends at the top edge of the window since the window starts right next to it. To me, that looks better, as it creates a continuous line. And the painted wall above it (about 30cm (12 inches)) has never been exposed to water from the shower. Our shower isn’t as tall as shown in the drawing; it’s around 2 m (6 ft 7 in), and the water runs downwards.

Aha. Our builder recommended this to us. Should I start in the shower niche, which is always damp, and paint the remaining 50-70cm (20-28 inches) of wall up to the ceiling?Aha?! People read what they want to read. Our tiler tiles the shower all the way up to the ceiling, that's what he did for us!Similar topics
