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 ..

Hi jgjustingordon63! Good luck with your reno - it can be exciting and scarey doing a reno! Have you considered doing subways a bit differently such as the pic below (I found via Pinterest)? This way, it doesn't matter really the size. Check with your builder/tiler re the fall if you want large-ish tiles for the floor. If it's a small bathroom, this might be an issue. In the pic above they've gone with small tiles which also looks really lovely. One other point I would make from experience...We used charcoal floor tiles AND grout. Bleach can discolour the grout, so you just need to be aware of that. There are ways around it and you can re-grout down the track (at an expense) but just giving you the heads up here! Good luck!! And do post after photos when you're done!

Hi Doug, looks great! regarding the floor my only suggestion would be to avoid the grout line down the centre as you have it. it is the first thing that draws your eye, and if you are going to the detail and expense you are then looking down is not what is going to show it off. From that I mean make it complementary to other things not competing.... eg a simple 1/3rd 2/3rd off set to break up the line and allow your ceiling feature to draw the eye. cheers

After much changing, from mosaics to small handmades to subway, we ended uo with white 300x600 for our bathroom reno. Just think it is the cleanest look that will stay reasonably modern for a few years We went with black penny rounds on the floor for contrast (white cabinet and black taps): i think it will look a bit Collingwood but age well.
