I love those long floorboards/wood-look tiles and they are the feature so you wouldn't want something too busy on the walls... personally I would go with a larger format say 300x600 rectified edge white tile with a matt finish for the Hamptons look... what's your vanity?... a timber one would tie in nicely with the floors and all the white... very Hamptons :)

also will give illusion of a bigger bathroom if you use bigger tiles ..I used small ones on one wall as feature wall and larger ones on other walls ..

Yes thank you for your thoughts. the room is 2.8 (with window) vs 3.4m. I do find it a bit annoying too as I don't like that you open the door and see straight away into the shower (though I'm certain the door would have a lock). I'm sure they lined the bath up to be with the window as visually that looks better, but then I find the space at the end annoying. I like the alternative drawings (I like three of them lots!) and I had been considering an drop in bath built wall to wall rather than a freestanding but also finding it frustrating to find a really nice supportive bath and there are less drop in baths than freestanding around at the moment which is a bit annoying. Thanks Anna for the picture, that helps as that looks good (though we would have more space at either end, 50cm) and I prefer the look of yours with some space but not as cavenous... I think I might have to have a talk with my husband as we really need to work out what to do!!

How exciting to be renovating a 1950s bathroom—especially with original Terrazzo flooring! That’s a stunning feature worth keeping. We totally get wanting something beyond plain white gloss. While it’s a safe choice, your space sounds like it deserves a bit more personality. Since you're after larger tiles and steering clear of green, you might consider: Warm greys or soft taupes – these complement Terrazzo beautifully and create a clean, modern feel without being too stark. Textured or matte finish tiles – these can add interest while keeping the palette subtle. Stone-look or terrazzo-look tiles in larger formats – a great way to tie in the floor with a cohesive, updated twist. You could even explore neutral feature tiles with a touch of vintage flair to honour the era, but still give it a fresh, modern update. We’d be happy to help you mix and match some options for terrazzo tiles—you don’t have to play it too safe to get a timeless result! —The CHEAPESTILES Team
