Hi heather We had the same problem with new shower floor tiles, I couldn't believe they were sold to us as floor tiles for a shower! I found a product at our local hardware store, it's domestic anti slip by DTA quality tools. This is readily available in australia- I apply every six or so months and absolutely works. Cheers Judy

When we bought our place we swapped to a frameless shower to open up the bathroom and get something that we could "live with" until we could do a major reno - what we found was because the shower area was very small (under standard spec) and had a pretty crappy fall to drain, so depending upon who used it we got a little water spread or a lot of water coming out. Check the fall of your floor to the drain and install a low flow shower head. Also check where the shower head is pointing during your shower - angle it away from the screen door - sounds obvious but because there is a small gap between the stable screen and the door if your shower is hitting that (either directly or with run off from your body - elbows out when you're washing your hair for example) that water will run straight outside. Good luck.

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.

Pop down a 600mm box or basket and test that height for usability beige committing to tiling?
