Let's talk bathroom tiles wall and floor

We're going to be re-doing our bathroom and I have so many ideas swirling inside my head, I just don't know where to begin!

Did you pick the same color tiles on the floor as for the wall? Can they be 2 different shades from the same family?

What size did you pick for your floor and wall?

What type of tiles did you choose?

usually you use larger tiles on the floor and smaller ones on the wall, but you can use the same on both I just wouldn't do a huge tile then

as for the being the same, you can use same or different its all personal taste

Re: Let's talk bathroom tiles wall and floor

Our new bathroom is very small, so we used 2 inch tiles. It's for DC, so the smaller tile, and the fact that it's texture, gives it much more traction than a larger tile.
The floor tiles are a medium grey, and the shower surround is white with grey veins. The walls are painted grey.

our tile walls are like a beigy pinkish (more beige) and we did travertine tiles on the floor so it's a little bit darker than the wall tiles.

Re: Let's talk bathroom tiles wall and floor

i just ordered ours... i picked beige for the walls and chocolate brown for the floors. they are the same tile, just different color, so they are the same design/texture - which is more of a wood grain look, for lack of a better term to describe them.
we ordered 12x12 for the floor and i think the walls are 6x24 (it's a brick pattern lay-out). the bigger tile you pick, the bigger your bathroom will look and the less grout lines!

We used golden travertine on both the floors and walls. We used 12"x12" everywhere except for the shower floor which is 2"x2" and a decorative border in the shower which is 2"x2" as well.

We have a large bathroom 12' x 6' (approx) and we ended up going with 16" floor tiles in a darker color and 6"x6" wall tiles in a light color (all the same manufacturer)
