Two bathrooms: Where should tiles go?

Do you really find them that bad?

No, not as depicted in the picture (especially in the shower). In the butcher's house, it seems more like a nasty prank.

You build, or have built, a “dance bath” and don’t even know how or with what to “fill” it. I would definitely have “called” a “bathroom designer” to make it really nice. Instead, they ask where to stick the tiles. There are things. :rolleyes:

But please not this gimmick from the butcher's shop ...

I was just thinking about that too… Basically, if you want decorative tiles, you should plan it TOGETHER with the furnishing of the objects, otherwise it looks lousy - as has already been shown here in the forum.

Do you really find them that bad? I know that bathrooms are usually designed differently nowadays, but I like the color May green, it always cheers me up. ;-) We will also use it sparingly.

You and your husband have to like it.

I have always been rather bold with colors too.....sometimes even too "bold"! In my former house, we were taken with the then latest craze - fresh from the trade fair - a super expensive green Hoesch bathtub and washbasins with "ears," similar to the huge tiles usually displayed today in the entrance area of tile stores.....always the trendiest. We then had bright red tiles and red fixtures to match the color (so said the Italian designer on the flyer). It didn’t bother us at all; we got used to it and even found it amusing. Nevertheless, it was way too expensive (because it was trendy), and whenever I went into other bathrooms, I realized that my next bathroom would have calm colors and I would rather bring in color with interchangeable items. At that time, we also had the tall tubular radiators painted differently by the car painter.....o_O What I want to say is: with all due understanding for boldness in color, I would NOT do that in unchangeable areas (e.g., tiles), but with plaster, for example, I could even imagine being really bold. I have the "suspicion" that because you have seemed somewhat discouraged for some time, maybe something particularly forceful is supposed to be done here in the bathroom, where in my opinion more thoughtfulness would be called for, and then you can try out the plastered walls, crazy bathroom furniture, etc. The idea (the misconception) that a bathroom can be designed afterwards, we also had at the time and had a large room with sanitary objects on every wall. I would also advise against that (also to your husband). Years later, we made two bathrooms out of it or gave the bedroom an en-suite bathroom, which was great. You can still plan and cost your bathroom nicely.......still..... why shouldn’t you both agree on something?

I have to confess, I was earlier searching in this forum for a former user who back then (when he was still actively participating) also showed his shower toilet or children's bathroom. There were these tiles, but exactly as they are meant to be: the grass recognizable as growing (and not hunted) grass and with single tiles also the drawn animal heads. Thought it was , but later rather … both no longer active here. In search of Louis and Ella a few posts come up as well, unfortunately without photos. Therefore from the internet: I personally also like it sometimes exotic, special or daring. Children's tiles or white gradients do not belong to that. The latter reminds me of 80s tie-dye. But I would always advise to stick to slightly changeable wall design, meaning giving the tile a neutrality that then supports the variable and daring wall design, i.e. the sections that are not tiled. That is actually the reason why not all walls are tiled, but then designed particularly.
