Tile choices - bathroom - suggestions please :)
Below is a design for a new bathroom. It's mainly a guest bathroom though the toilet will be used by most of the household on a daily basis.
I'd love suggestions on tile selection please and what you think about my initial ideas:
Design (already ordered):
Matt black vanity with vivid white caesarstone benchtop and undercounter basin
Shower head/mixer/tapware/vanity tapware/toilet buttons - all matt black
Ideas for tiles:
Dark grey floor tile
White subway tile with white grout for nib wall
Large white tile for all other walls??
Would love to hear suggestions for tile sizes/other options/colours!!
Thanks in advance for taking the time :) ... I know the shower head isn't centered in the image and the rectangle behind the nib is the shower grate.

last yearyour colours sound excellent and some bright towels and a plant will add some extra colour but i'm wondering about the location of the vanity and if the plumbing is not already fixed i suggest that the room could be more comfortable with the toilet next to the nib wall and vanity nearer the entry, add a shower niche inside the nib wall and if you don't plan to have a shower door or curtain, consider a shower grate across the opening into the shower instead of separate drainage for the shower and the toilet/vanity area

Bathroom tile HELP!!!!
Comments (9)Hi Sharella, I have specified these very tiles a number of times for first home buyer clients. I like the fact that you are putting the darker tile to the floor as I think it grounds the space better. You've also done the right thing by matching your grout to the tiles. Obviously the top picture uses a gloss porcelain tile to the floor, but this can be a slip hazard when wet. I think, with consideration to your budget, that you have chosen well. Are you splashing out and getting the black tapware? Good luck with your new home....See MoreWould you ever pick metallic tiles for your bathroom?
Comments (8)I would but not to the extreme of the picture you provided. I would use them as a feature maybe a strip around the room or a vertical section running down the middle of the shower. It would certainly reflect light if you have a dark room. The picture provided is way over the top and takes away the beauty of the tile effect....See MoreBathroom tile choice dilemma - match or not.
Comments (7)HI there! If your looking to save money, then perhaps look into a stainless steel or ceramic walk in shower tray instead? This negates the need for waterproofing / screening / membrane etc and they can look really awesome! Some top architects are using stainless steel trays with timbers and dark tiles and it looks amazing!! Your bathroom looks great with your current tiles on the floor and the beautiful timber joinery frames so I think stainless steel would work in really well with this. If you want to do a proper walk in tiled bathroom, perhaps talk to Warm Up. They do fully tiled walk in showers as well. (not just underfloor heating) and are pretty well priced for what they do. Or companies like the below, this way you get a fully waterproofed, warrantied system. https://www.warmup.co.nz/heating-products/tiled-shower-solutions/ https://plumbingplus.co.nz/products/newline-devon-walk-in-tile-showers-chrome/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwov3nBRDFARIsANgsdoEDYdqIeqSs3rRrHYbLz_EYd94uS6q8F14DoAar6b_Q_b9piXPpNugaAg3cEALw_wcB If you do decide to do a tiled walk in shower, I would recommend doing a completely different tile, rather than one that looks similar. It always ends up looking like you have tried to match and not very good so best to go with something thats clearly different. Perhaps a mosaic or a white 300x75 brick effect tile? Artedomus have some great ranges https://www.artedomus.co.nz/mosaics?gclid=Cj0KCQjwov3nBRDFARIsANgsdoGNwkaKMFgFIbGReFg8qFVIzMZjG5MPPsiLxKmAz9rdvsIa-TIfWRgaAucgEALw_wcB All the best with your renovation :)...See MoreNeed help with bathroom tile colour please!
Comments (13)I'd just live with it, paint the walls and vanity your sage green. My decision would be based on the fact that getting rid of the pattern is either going to be extremely time intensive or $$ intensive for not much gain. You can leave that pattern and update the bathroom easily by painting walls and vanity. The only way to get a nice finish on painted tile is to have it resin coated professionally. It's not cheap. With a stone toned bathroom it's always going to look dated because that colour way has been out of fashion for about 30yrs anyway. Best to just update cheaply and refresh the whole bathroom once it's no longer servicable. You spend on average 30mins a day in the bathroom. If it's neat and clean that's good enough. Close the door on it after use....See MoreMorgan Treacle

last yearI like the current layout. It is more unique and toilet more hidden. But I would swing the door the other way to hide toilet behind it. I have done this. Works well. I have a white cushion on back of door to stop the bang against toilet but rarely would you swing open so far
