I've just been looking at your colours, I think the Dulux Dieskau would work the best with the other colours you have to work with, choosing colours is such a personal thing and I know it can be really hard to choose and hope you make the correct choice. Oskuee is right, a paint job can look terrible half way through so you need to make sure you finish to get the proper look of colour. But the biggest thing to remember is it's only paint and it's the cheapest thing to change so if your not happy with the colour you choose you can always try something else. Happy redecorating :)

With a small bathroom like yours, and large format tiles the joints between the tiles are actually more important than the tile. You want to make the bathroom seem bigger, and horizontal joints will help this. Don't lay in a traditional brick pattern, where every second tile is offset from the tile above as this makes it visually busy. Go with a standard grid pattern, with your rectangular tiles laid horizontally. Try to get your tiler align the joints in the floor tile with the joints in the wall tile. By keeping it as plain and simple as possible you will perceive the bathroom to be bigger. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls

You can select a mosaic tile that is already laid in herringbone fashion - usually available in smaller tiles of better quality material like marble, or you can select individual rectangular tiles - depending on the proportions of the tile (ie 100 x 200 or longer and thinner like 50 x 400mm), this will give you an entirely different look that you need to be able to visualise to make a final decision.

Kate, are you able to post a picture of the internal bathroom that you say is too sterile. I also am having an internal bathroom and trying to decide tile heights. I have been given two different sets of advice on what to do. Feature tile is above a vanity with a round mirror skewed To left of vanity. My bathroom is only 1.55m deep. Tiles will be vertically stacked on feature wall using vanilla Brickart tile. Tile shop says to take feature tile to wall height of 2.7m and wrap it around walls just section where vanity is and then wall height in shower and no other tiles on wall. Tiger says to ceiling will be too much. Feature tile is creamy pale grey above timber vanity. It is always easier to decide what looks good for someone else as compared to self.
