30 x 60 cm tiles Reason vs. Zeitgeist

One has to think about the installation, including expansion joints etc., so that transitions look good and do not appear poorly set.

Dear forum, In our offer, tiles in the above size are calculated at 30 euros/m2 including installation. Our general contractor has also openly stated that many builders choose a larger format. This would be significantly more expensive due to a second worker, more difficult installation, and more material. I am now wavering daily between "you don’t have to follow every trend" and "maybe I will regret the small formats for the next 40 years." My parents-in-law have installed a relatively new bathroom with this size, which we like well. We have planned the hallways, the foyer, kitchen, and bathrooms with these tiles. Different tiles are not an option for us. Would you please share your experiences and feedback with me?

Size has nothing to do with quality. Good qualities are consistently flat when fired, their glaze withstands it if something hard falls on them without chipping. These are quality characteristics. 60 by 30 is a great format.
