Do you value the joint cut?

The larger the tiles, the more important it is to plan the cuts correctly. You can create a consistent joint pattern, for example, by cutting evenly on both sides or defining fields. Whoever starts in a corner and sees how it turns out has usually lost aesthetically. Good tilers can create a very appealing joint pattern with any format.

Well, they can't work magic either - if you quadruple tile sizes compared to previous decades without the rooms growing accordingly, some detail has to pay for it.

It's not witchcraft. There are better and worse ways. Creativity and experience are required. If a format that particularly appeals to the builder at first glance does not fit the room, this should be addressed during a consultation.

We do not have a consistent grout line from floor to wall.

But that's because we have 120x120 on the floor and 45x90 on the wall. I was worried about that at first as well. However, the consultant at the tile studio quickly eased my concerns.

We have gray tiles on the wall and we found the matching grout color here, so the wall grout lines are barely noticeable.

On the floor, we have tiles in the color "Dove". Here too, the consultant recommended almost the exact same grout color. So you can barely see any grout lines.

I would definitely pay attention to that if I were you!

Attached is the dimensioned floor plan (plaster dimensions!) for our bathroom.

I am looking forward to your ideas.

Unfortunately, I forgot to measure the position of the toilet (installed next to the washbasin). But that doesn’t really matter.

Funny, everyone has their own preferences. We have almost the same floor plan in the bathroom and I absolutely wanted the grout line in the shower to be centered, we have 60 cm tiles. Everything else then followed from this specification. We also had the back wall of the toilet cut so that it is centered, because I hate it when it is not symmetrical.

Therefore my tip: determine what is aesthetically most important to you and everything else will align with that.

For one person the shower is important like it is for me, for another it’s important that when they enter the room the room doesn’t start with a half tile, etc.

By the way, as has already been suggested here, we also used a different format 45x30 on the wall.

The tiler found it amusing but we discussed everything in detail beforehand how exactly it should be done and measured and sketched everything ourselves after I had learned from the mistakes of the ground floor bathroom.
