Opinions on tiling our bathroom shower stall..
We are re-tiling our bathroom shower stall... should we do all subway tiles or all 6x6 square, or half subway tile on the bottom and half 6x6 square on the top..... we are having a hard time deciding! Thanks!!!

Re: Opinions on tiling our bathroom shower stall..
I love the look of subway tiles, but I'd hate cleaning that much grout in the shower area. That said, I'd do the subway throughout the entire shower. Don't know how I feel abount mixing the subway and 6x6 tiles?

I did all subway in my shower/tub area so I'm partial to that look.
I can't really picture the 6x6 mixed with the 3x6.

I agree.
You can seal the grout which really cuts down on scrubbing. I did 3-4 coats which is way over what they say you need but cleaning grout is  If you have a tile contractor he may be able to do that or you can buy a small bottle from Home Depot and paint it on the grout lines with an artist's brush.
I did all subway tiles with a decorative border that carried from the jacuzzi tub straight throught the shower area.
Here's some pics.Image Attachment(s):

Re: Opinions on tiling our bathroom shower stall..
We just redid our 2nd bathroom and added a shower stall. We did 12x12 (the same that we did on the floor) 36 42 inches up and then had a border that matched our tile and then did 6x6 above the border in a diamond design. The rest of the bathroom we did 12x12 tiles all around 2 inches high. I really like the way it came out. I haven't downloaded the pics yet.

We recently renovated our upstairs guest bathroom. We used subway tile in our pattern with 6x6. The pattern layout on the upper portion is a subway layout. See the pics below.. Image Attachment(s):

I would do all subway with a border with a "fancy" border tile.

I had subway tiles in my last apartmetn & hated cleaning it.
It was really old though, and uneven, so starting with new tiles & great should be easier.
I'm not sure which I prefer, but I'd keep it all the same.
