Building a full height boxing at end of bath for niches

[Old Mod]

Main thing im debating is what colour of tile to go with, what shape, and layout pattern.

In the pic under the sink you can just about see one of the sample tiles i got which i quite like, its darker, and shiny grey (opposed to what looks like matt grey concrete now) rectangulat tiles and was thinking 3/4 bond would look a bit more modern than the current lay?

Get yourself a couple of plain grey polished Porcelthin 1800 X 900,
To co ordinate with the grey mosaic.
Nice and plain with maybe one joint, depending on floor size.
Don't need anything fussy, just plain, u e enough going on elsewhere!

Do like that grey colour

Thanks 3_fall I really like the colour

Problem is the floor space is actually tiny so think those tiles might be a bit too big?

If I went for that style/colour of tile but smaller like the existing ones, and maybe lay them 3/4 bond as its a bit more modern? Or do it brick bond like the mosaics to match?

Apologies for all the questions it's the first time i've done my own bathroom and need the inspiration!

There's nothing 'modern' about brick bond tbh.
'Modern' now is as few joints as possible, to give appearance of a sheet
Or slab covering.
That's why I suggested large format, so floor doesn't look too busy, personally for me, u have enough going on on the walls.
What is actuall floor dimension?
Does the bath go end to end between the walls?

From what I can see from pic, looks about 900 wide by the sink and definately smaller than 1800 long. So effectively u'd need just two tiles. One for floor, one for bath.
U'd have complete coverage with no joints!
Sounds perfect to me.

Thanks, i've looked at the Porcelthin website and there's a stockist not far from me - so thanks i'll check that out, a single 'sheet' could look very nice.

Also can get my wall tile in an alternative darker shade, that might look good on the floor to contrast? Current wall tile is the top beige colour.
