Bathroom floor upstands

[Tresco]

Hi All,

I'm shortly tiling a bathroom with a big 'busy' tile, rather than tile all the walls I thought less is more and that I'd just tile one complete wall and the double vanity unit area, I've seen the look in some very expensive Octagon show homes and it's very effective, (and cheaper!).

It does though mean that the walls without tile would get marked when sweeping/mopping etc, so I thought of cutting the floor tile into say 100mm strips and fitting to the bare walls, I'd use a finisher on top of the tile..

In your experience chaps a good idea or public toilet look?

I've done this a few times, 4" or 100mm is about right. I believe i cut this at around 80mm to match the bottom trim of the modular furniture.
I think upstands work really well at times. I wouldn't of usually used white Silicon on these tiles, but this bathroom was foor an old aged pensioner and wanted to be able to see the sealant without getting down to it so he could maintain it himself if necessary.
