Default Please suggest some bathroom tiling colour combinations....

MODS: Id be most grateful if youd leave this in nsr due to the wider audience....

Im looking for floor and wall tiling, and am stuck on what to do...

Im after something pretty neutral and noting loud or too daring....

Any suggestions/pics?

bathrooms quite small i know, but after this was finished it looked bloody good, and bigger. had a mate come fit the whole suite inc bath loo and sink, fit all the tiles and lay the floor ones too. just under £600 for two weeks worth of spare time.

sorry about the pic, with a cmaera phone.

i like it anyway



Please tell me a female is present in your house ??

Large sandstone tiles look rather classy, but get a professional tiler to do the work or whatever tiles you buy & fit they will look ****e

RIPPLES - All The Comforts of Homes

If you do a google image search for 'bathrooms' you will get loads of ideas, I would think a honey/ warm beige colour for both the floor and walls and then you could add a splash of colour with towels in teal, chocolate or duck egg.

I suggest putting the cats in a safe house should you change your mind and attempt the tiling yourself!

fair enough, does kinda catch your eye, but i have an eclectic taste, matches my personality

for tiling though, i would recommend rippled tiles, give off a nice effect against light, day or night. the tiles on the floor are like a layered effect too, feels like walking on slabs. id recommend them too.

just dont buy a horrible tiolet seat like me. im unpopluar now

Have a look at travertine stone tiles. I think they look amazing. Go for smooth honed filled staight cut edge tiles. Get large tiles for the floors and walls, it'll make the room look bigger. Look way better than any ceramic tiles.

example:

White is the answer. Tiles are expensive. Paint is cheap. Both our bathroom and en suite are white tiles with a black border.
