Hello dear forum,
We have been thinking for weeks about which areas in the bathroom should be tiled but can’t find a solution. That’s why we are hoping for your help.
We want to tile as little as possible, but we have the problem that there is a window on the wall opposite the shower, and we don’t know how to tile around it without it looking awkward. Also, we are unsure how to tile around the bathtub. And for the wall under the large window in general, should we plaster it, tile halfway up, or something else? We just aren’t creative enough here.
At the washbasin, we would like to tile only halfway up, and behind the toilet, we want to tile just the wall behind it, also halfway up.
We would really appreciate any tips.
Best regards,
Ivonne

Makeup remover cotton pads Please don’t tell me you flush those down the toilet? They definitely don’t belong there and cause major problems at the wastewater treatment plant—or sometimes even right at your doorstep. We once had a blocked pipe in our apartment because a housemate was happily disposing of cotton pads, cotton swabs, disposable wipes, kitchen towels, etc. down the toilet.
Please make sure to use the bathroom trash bin for these!

Please use the bathroom waste bin for these items! They are also terribly bad for the environment; it’s better to use washable reusable pads! (Preach mode off).

@Climbee: haha... I definitely didn’t think of something like that.
But how often do you think that will happen again?
Since there are so many advocates for tile minimalism here, I’m going to share the complete opposite.
I really like stone! And especially with the lighting, in my opinion, tiles look better.
Briefly off topic. Unfortunately, I can’t send a private message due to not having enough posts. I’m currently building a similar niche for our shower. Did you use individual spotlights for the lighting or an LED strip?

-Behind the washbasin, walls should also be tiled up to the ceiling because of the lighting.
-If you need to save money, the rest of the walls can be tiled up to 1.50m (5 feet) high.
