Tile in bathroom tub area

We will be redoing the bathroom.

Right now our bath has tile just to the top of the shower curtain bar. There has been some water splash above you can see on the paint.

So now we question, should the tile really goto the ceiling?

I just can't get it in my head, what is right. I'm thinking to the ceiling looks weird, but logically it makes more sense?

Help!

Just redid ours and yes the tile now goes to the ceiling.
It looks much nicer that way imo.

Here it is....

Not sure why this pic keeps unloading sideways...but turn your phone to the side to get the idea! Chat Icon

In our shower, the tile goes to the ceiling. In the rest of the bathroom, the tile goes 1/2 up the wall.

Definitely up to the ceiling.

It's a bit more expensive, but I prefer tiling the entire bathroom. Otherwise, the paint in the other part of the bathroom sometimes shows water stains or mildew. Either way, make sure you get a ventilation fan and use it after every bath/shower. It helps a lot.

Re: Tile in bathroom tub area

Also BM makes a "Bath and Spa" paint specifically for bathrooms. It is mildew and water stain resistant.
We used it in the areas of my bathroom that are not tiled. It is great.
It's expensive but we only needed one gallon and it's worth it in a bathroom.

ETA- this is it- it's called Aura Bath and Spa
