The other showers throughout we are just keeping the same tile with the niche so wanted to change this one up seeing as it's a big niche and make more of a feature of it. Am thinking a herringbone type tile or even small hexagons but it's more colour that I'm not sure about. A lot of those tiles are marble like colour The style of home is contemporary/Scandic if that's even a style ha ha!

It can either look really dramatic or too dark, depending on the size of the room as well as your other components. I've attached a couple of images of our work using dark tiles, the smaller bathroom we have surrounded the bath with dark tiles but then balance it with an extra large mirror to bounce the light around the room. The larger bathroom we have taken the floor colour way onto the wall but used a different texture on the walls for drama. Hopefully this gives you more of an idea but you shouldn't to nervous of the room being dark, it's where you can create a contrast as well as textures. Look forward to seeing what you go with in the end.

my son and daughter in law have a similar bathtub arrangement with the bathtub window right down to the edge of the tub so you can admire the view when laying back in the bath, they have plantation shutters that fold back against the wall when necessary but, even when the shutter doors are closed over the window the angled blades still allow the view to be seen..they've used the same tiles on floor and the horizontal surfaces around the bath with all the walls, including the walls of the bathtub, in a different tile..the wall tiles are plain and floor tiles patterned and with the matching patterned tile on the ledge around the bath it gives the whole room a gorgeous finish...good luck with the final stages of your reno

Hi. Would you be able to sketch the two bathrooms, showing size and placement of windows and all fixtures as you have described? I think it will help others visualise the rooms better (it will me!) and also to advise about tile sizes, etc. Also, regarding the wall-hung vanities, are they timber or a laminate (please advise colour(s) or finish). Thanks!
