Bathroom tiles floor-to-ceiling or half-height tiles?

We have all the horizontal surfaces the wood-look floor tiles and all the horizontal surfaces the white wall tiles

We need to think about which solution we prefer

I think the highest probability is that we don't tile the two walls at all or possibly live with the gap at the frame (which is only on the inside)

"ugly" tile edges

The tile edges can be perfectly framed with rails, which looks great. How do you design the transition between wall and tile with half-height tiling? Without rails, just with silicone? For me, always a hard-to-clean dirty corner. If you don’t want that, then tile only behind the toilet and not on the sides. We have a similar distance to the side wall, not tiled, and nothing has ever happened (have lived like that for 12 years).

We also tiled halfway up in the bathroom. There was the solution: tile the room up to the last tiles next to the door. Then install the frame. Then the tiler glued and grouted the last tiles up to the frame. Of course, you can also do this yourself and get the grout used from the tiler.

We have already decided

we will tile halfway up and also have the door frame tiled

this creates a gap above the tiles with the thickness of the tiles.

We will either leave this gap as it is or (as the builder recommended to us) fill this gap with acrylic so that it is sealed

Only acrylic will not be enough. The gap is about 1 cm thick. I think something will need to be put in there beforehand. Round cord or something like that.

I have 1.20. only in the shower 2.40.
In the guest bathroom 1.30 because the pre-wall construction is that high and then it would have looked strange to be higher only there.

Room-high completely is nowadays actually only done in commercial / office toilets or in wet rooms/sauna areas.

1.20 would be my preference in our two bathrooms, but unfortunately we have, just like you in one of your bathrooms, the difficulty that the pre-wall construction is 1.30m high. Our tiler has now also suggested tiling halfway up to 1.30m. After thinking about it for several hours and looking for alternatives, and also using my imagination, we will probably tile up to 1.30m high. Unless someone here has a good idea.

It would be possible to tile only the pre-wall construction where the toilet is located 1.30m high, otherwise 1.20m or 1.10m high, but then because of the colored tiles the pre-wall construction with toilet would probably appear somewhat dominant and I tend to hide necessities rather than put them in the spotlight.

My recommendation : Tile as few walls as possible, the rest as low as possible depending on the height of the washbasin, except in the shower, where it should be tiled up to the ceiling.

And then, a warm welcome to the forum. :)

It's a matter of taste... Even in single-family houses there are room-high tiles.

In very large and, in my opinion, exquisite, expensive bathrooms it can really look good. In small standard bathrooms it reminds me of a butcher’s shop. :-(

Regarding the toilet on the same wall. Some only tile the back wall in the area around the toilet and washbasin. So about 30 to 50 cm. The rest of the wall remains free (except for the skirting board).

Please, do you have a tip for me as well? I did not understand this sentence, but it sounds good. Where are the 30 to 50 cm of tiles?
