Tile selection can have a big impact on the cost of your bathroom reno. The cost of the tiles per sqm is one thing, but did you know that most tilers charge different rates for the "Type" of tile laid large format and or vitrified tiles will cost more to install These are a few hard and fast rules we give our clients when they are selecting tiles for a bathroom renovation 1 - opt for darker tiles and darker grout for the floor - as a wet area light coloured tiles on the ground are harder to keep clean 2 - If you are opting for a feature tile - let it be the hero. That means make the rest of the tiles plain - large format subway tiles give you enough texture without detracting from the feature 3 - always opt for square tiles on the ground - trying to get the correct falls using rectangular tiles will mean you will have extra cuts and the floor will look a mess. The second reason we opt for square format for the floor is because of subway tiles You see, back when everyone was opting for square tiles on walls, it was easy to install square on the floor and get all the grout lines to match. Now most people are opting for subway tiles, you can never get all the grout lines to match, therefore installing square means you dont have to match grout lines as they are different format. If you are installing your subway tiles vertically, then there is a chance you will still be able to get all grout lines to match if you have selected the same sized square format tile hope this makes sense I have added a link to a blog that explains more about tile selection

hi there, certainly the color should be darker on the floor Do not hesitate to sign up for my channel in youtube, there you will learn everything about the design, put the likes, to make a repost)) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHuY28ATRji4MMfQNC-aPdw Thank you for your attention and the answer, I will be ready to discuss the work in more detail at the time convenient for you, in such a design, as you will be comfortable!

It is a family bathroom with quite a lot going on. I don't think you need a feature subway tile. You already have a marble benchtop, shaker style cabinetwork, and timber accents so you don't need a feature tile as well in a small room. If I understand you correctly you plan to use two types of white tiles on the wall which is a bad move, unless they are made by the same manufacturer and the colour is identical. If the white tiles are even slightly different in colour it will look off. I would keep it simple, not use a subway tile as they are being overused and will look dated in ten years, and stick with just the larger wall tile. Keep it simple, Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls

I'd be the dissenting one . The tiles are really nice -- sunny and happy . They are blue ( and goldy/beige ) . Pretend what you like , they are blue . They'll always look blue . So embrace it . Just me , I'd do the floor in 600 x 600 white or offwhite or white with a gold speck or white with visible veins -- you get the idea . Modern light white tiles . The walls I'd do in 'your' tiles , up to a bit over 1 metre . Then I'd do a 'frieze' in a blue . Maybe a purpley blue , maybe a metallic bright blue . 150x150mm would be my guess , or 100x150 even . Then above that , I'd do white , BUT a row of white subways done vertically , through the middle -- those subway sized ones that look a bit rough , a bit like a fork has been run through and wiggled . Even a bit thicker than the rest , so it protrudes another couple of millimetres . Height ? Half way between the 'fieze' and the ceiling . So you'd get what you want , but it would add interest and even a bit of surprise through the use of texture and colour . The extra cost wouldn't be huge , maybe $2-3000 more , but it would add to it IMO
