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

I would choose wall tiles with the same width as the floor tiles.It’s all a matter of taste. I would go for wall tiles that are noticeably smaller or larger than the floor tiles to avoid the seamless, indistinct look of surfaces running into each other. I like clear geometric lines. A well-designed grout pattern is great.A

Really nice!
How did you handle the fittings and the pipes? It looks like you didn’t use a drywall partition. That’s not necessary either. All the pipes run inside the walls or under the floor.

May I ask what kind of windowsills those are? Natural stone windowsills. Please don’t ask me for the exact name—I just pointed at them at the stonemason back then.

Quick off-topic. I can’t send a private message because I don’t have enough posts. I am currently building a niche like that for our shower. Did you use individual spotlights for the lighting or an LED strip? An LED strip.
All bathroom tiles are 90cm x 90cm (35 inches x 35 inches).

Ah, that was the house with the open space and the glass panel. Amazing! Exactly. So the glass panel faces the open space in the living room. No noise, no odors.

Very nice! Can you tell me the manufacturer and model of the base cabinet under the sink? The wooden countertop looks great. We assembled it ourselves. It consists of two base cabinets from Laufen:
Laufen drawer unit CASE TOP 23 x 79 x 52 cm (9 x 31 x 20 inches), white, with siphon cutout.
The oak countertop is solid wood. We found it cheaply at the hardware store in the right length, just had to cut it down from 60 cm (24 inches) depth to about 53 cm (21 inches) and make two holes.

@Würfel* can you share your experience with limescale spots on dark tiles? Or is that not an issue? We have a water softener because the water here is very hard. After softening, the water is about 5°C (41°F) instead of nearly 20°C (68°F). Because of this, limescale spots are not an issue at all. You really can’t see anything.
