A dealer showed me floor tiles suitable for the bathroom, toilet, hallway, kitchen, and utility room, as well as wall tiles for the bathroom, which I liked. However, they are quite large:
Floor: 60 x 60 cm (25-- €/m² (10.8-- $/ft²)), R 10 AB; Thickness: 10.5 mm (0.41 inches)
Bathroom wall: 42.5 x 119.2 cm (48-- €/m² (20.0-- $/ft²)); Thickness: 10.5 mm (0.41 inches)
Advantages:
- Square tiles don’t create a lengthening effect in a narrow hallway
- Large wall tiles, especially in the shower, mean fewer grout joints, resulting in fewer issues with dirty or damaged grout
Are there any disadvantages?

I would recommend using a consistent tile size based on the grout pattern.Everything can be coordinated. Floor tiles 60x60 cm (24x24 inches), wall tiles 120x45 cm (47x18 inches), wall tiles only in the shower area and behind the toilet. Mosaic behind the washbasin. The grout pattern looks great. Don’t try to save on hourly labor costs, then it will work out. Rule: It must be pleasing to the eye.
Good grout doesn’t deteriorate either.

Good grout won’t deteriorate. That’s certainly true. We were shown various grout patterns. If the wall and floor grout lines don’t align, it looked strange to us. As you said, it has to be pleasing.

As you said, it has to be a matter of personal taste. It looks strange when the wall and floor joints are just slightly misaligned. When using different tile sizes, it’s best to place the joints deliberately further apart.
Otherwise, I think you get used to anything. It also depends somewhat on the floor plan which tile sizes fit well.
