Hi,just like to know if plain tiles is the way to go or have a feature wall! We have bought 600 x 300 lappato ipietra tiles in Ivory but look a warm greyish colour & struggling to choose a mosaic tile for shower area, don’t think a blingy tile would look good & may date the en-suite quicker- any ideas.. oh & probably go for a grey grout. Thanks Jac

Hi, thanks for the reply, we decided to leave it all plain which looks better as it’s only a small en-suite & didn’t want the walls closing in (less is more). We will probably go for keuco fittings to lift it all. Now it the tile trim to decide on! Mat chrome or shiny chrome or even a grey/ beige stone look trim around the recess.. any ideas?

If you can nearly match colour of ivory colour of the tile then try use that !if you use something different in colour it draws attention to it !!
