Measurements and using larger wall tiles

[moopind]

I wondered if folk would mind giving me their opinions on our plans. We want to have the bathroom re-tiled and a new bath and toilet put in. We currently have square white tiles (see first link) but would like to go for really big, matt white tiles.




First of all, we'd have to get the tiling done first then have the bath fitted, I suppose. But looking at the measurements (second and third links), do you think it would look OK if we used tiles which measured 60x30 - I'm just aware that we'd get two-and-a-bit tiles on each tall wall around the shower and that we'd either have to have cut tiles on the above-basin panel or else widen it by quite a bit. These tiles have no bevel on the edges, by the way.

The other options are 40x30 with a bevel, 31.5x60 with a bevel, 33x45 with a bevel or 40x25 with a bevel.

I would want the tiled parts to be at least as big as the current tiles parts so I don't have to do more painting on the walls.

Thanks for any comments.

moonpind pick whatever tile size you want but fit the bath first then tile

Agree with Pete, not a big deal of difference, wouldn't personally pick the biggest tiles though, I don't think you have enough wall showing. Always like to see tiles 'behind' the wash basin though. All down to personal taste as we always say!

Thanks, folks. Much appreciated

I used 600x300mm tiles (floor to ceiling) in a brickwork pattern then fitted the free standing bath after.

Large format tiles are fine for small rooms.

(in my opinion) !

PS: I would tile the whole room

The use of contrasts in this room seem to make it look even smaller
