Hi, tiled walls without tiling could be done with custom printed wallpaper, similar to brick walls without bricks. Have a look at our website at "www.misterwallpaper.com.au" and look for images at "fotolia.com" using "tiles" or "ceramic tiles" as search term, to find the right image of tiles to create your tiled wall. We are happy to help you. Kind regards Tom Wallpaper

Hi Adelina, As a general rule, MOST porcelain tiles are 10mm thick and glue allowance is 3mm. Have the builder leave 13mm total height in the areas you will be using tiles. See link to some options of neutral coloured porcelain tiles all in the 10mm thickness. https://www.tilecloud.com.au/categories/material/2/Stone%20Look  Assuming the concreting is of good quality, the tiles will be stuck directly to the slab with no need for a screed. (only really required when the concreting is poor or you need to change heights) So that takes care of the downstairs. Bamboo flooring varies anywhere from 6mm all the way up to about 22mm so it really depends on which you choose upstairs. Hope that helps!

Lots of ideas. If you go for a "grey" tile on the floor, make it a mid grey in terms of the intensity of colour but also look at a "cool" blue or green grey to match in with your blues and greens you've chosen. The picture of the grey tile looks quite a warm grey, what I would call "greige" (grey/beige). Starting to get quite personal now in the space but your gut will tell you what is best suited and works with your house.

What kind of shower are you installing? If the large tiles are into the shower recess, then there will be wasted tiles to get the correct fall of tiles for drainage. Smaller floor tiles in the shower recess are easier to achieve the required drainage fall.
