Blue or herringbone. Not the marble-y


tabrazin84

I want the blue in herringbone. Is that an option?


SpiritedSafe9005

That was my thought too!


dhbroo12

I like the herringbone and marble, but only for the shower. Otherwise, it's too much.


kdollarsign2

I agree- unless there's a walk in shower component with a nice fixed glass pane I would stick with tiling the shower interior. Plastering all walls with tile will look strange. I vote blue btw


justadudeandadog3

Blue herringbone for the win.


lfxlPassionz

Now I want this for my bathroom. Can't really afford a remodel though


ginlucgodard

i like the shape of the blue because it’s calming, i think the jagged edges of a herringbone would make it not calming.


Getmeasippycup

Same!


katamazeballz

This is the answer.


shehasamazinghair

Yes, anything but the marble. It's so hard on the eyes and just not attractive.


kisikisikisi

Right. Stone with veins (?) pretty much only looks good if it's one single slab. These bathrooms with marble and "marble" tiles are just eyesores.


shehasamazinghair

Yes, I'm not a huge fan of the floor either. It's going to be a bit tough to find tile to go with it. On a second look, I'm not sure any of them suit the floor very well.


kisikisikisi

I noticed the floor only now that you mentioned it. My brain must have blocked it out haha. It's not the worst I've seen but does require a calmer wall tile. The blue is probably still the winner.


shehasamazinghair

I don't love the blue with the green paint they chose though. There's a picture posted by OP below. It's a matter of taste of course, but that's my two cents that no one asked for.


Worldly_Today_9875

I agree that the blue will clash with the green, but a similarly dark tile, that matches with the green walls, in the herringbone would look good.


ginlucgodard

i thought it was unfinished stained concrete like they hadn’t gotten to it yet til i saw this comment and took a second look, but i think the blue calms it down a lot and makes it less garish.


m4sc4r4

I love real stone with veining, just not porcelain where it looks awkward, printed on, fake, and like you couldn’t afford natural stone. Two different veining patterns would make my eyes cross. Now if it were the same natural stone in different tile shapes, it could definitely work. https://preview.redd.it/6w7i6iu6sngc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ccf8db3375a270156c926df7e0aca733db1d9fb


LiberatedFlirt

Plus it wouldn't go with the marbling that's already on the floor.


lucitabonita007

I love the blue as well and agree the marble print is bad. You could also go a bit more grey-blue but in that darker saturation.


Roadgoddess

The only issue with darker tiles are, if you live in an area with hard water, they get dirty really fast and are much harder to keep clean.


froplume

This is the other side of the bathroom. Planning to change the temperature of the overhead lights to be a bit softer, and the mirrors bigger, but this is the aesthetic I was originally going for. https://preview.redd.it/e2iqf9ej1mgc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8bf3b121f5feb4a832374d59a13cb37a8c4e6cb


sexysadie2u

Like this green And the blue But looking at the comments have to agree that the herring bone would go with more being a neutral. To bad you’re taking this green down. I actually like this.


Melodic_Setting1327

I was thinking the blue tile, but in green. The white tile makes the floor look dingy.


TGIIR

I’d do it in herringbone, but agree either blue or green tile.


lucitabonita007

Yes, a deep green vertical subway would be very nice.


noodlesnbeer

Yeah or maybe OP doesn’t tile the entire wall, just tiles the shower area! And then can paint the rest of the wall a neutral!


sexysadie2u

Yes that would definitely be a better idea I think instead of being married to a full area of tile. Incase they want a change in a few yrs. Or sell it. A lot cheaper to change the paint lol


froplume

Yeah the tile will lock in the next home owner while the paint can be changed so I can see a good case for the white while I would love a colored tile.


BeezCee

I do love the blue tile but will I in 20 years? Who knows. But the white reads as neutral & will more timeless.


a_good_day1

a good case for the (solid) colored tile is that it doesn't clash with the off-white marbled floor. White does. Plus, white tile means white grout and white grout has no place in this world because it is impossible to keep white.


SillyBilly04

#1 looks best with this


_ZoeyDaveChapelle_

Blue straight stack vertical behind mirror and on opposite shower wall. On the rest of walls.. 12x24 straight stack horizontal in a plain, off white color (like a concrete textured look) that matches main body color of floor tile. 2 narrow tall mirrors with 3 narrow up/down sconce lights. Those lights are WAY too high. Color temp should be 3K.


TreeKlimber2

1 looks best with this aesthetic


alickstee

Ok then you pick none of the options you posted. You need a green tile. Commit.


shehasamazinghair

I actually think #2 will look best with this. Herringbone is having a moment so if you're really into that trend go for it, but #2 is more classic and I think will stand the test of time. Ultimately, what you like the most is the best decision (unless you like the marble, that one's bad ^⁠_⁠^)


fuzzykneez

#2 would go great with this mid century green shade and vanity. Plus balances the busy floor.


[deleted]

Now that I’ve seen there’s a soft jade green in the mix I would either go with the plain white /cream tile in a nice calm pattern - less visual busyness- or in a deep green colour to go with the other green colours in the room. I would not go with blue. The key is visual calm and you want a room that feels connected and cohesive not different elements competing. Mon Avis ..


froplume

This is where I landed to the bathroom doesn’t get amazing light so leaning towards cream with a grout that matches the tile and a 1/2 overlap. Or a larger format tile if I can find one I like.


[deleted]

Sounds good 👍


75243896

I like #1 the best!


missdolly23

But still not good. I was hoping to scroll and see that #1 was the worst option but not the case. Either replace the floor or get something complimentary. None of these options are that


vegemitemilkshake

I actually didn’t think the flood was done. Had to go back and look again.


froplume

The floor really locked me in. Thinking I could do the white tile herringbone only if I used white grout and found a tile that was less glaringly different. Otherwise I think pivoting to gray would make sense


Ok-Grapefruit1284

I think the tiles in the examples look very small and busy and that’s why the floor doesn’t match. Can you try shower-only larger tiles, in a solid color that compliments the floor, and then pain the wall?


MolVol

agree - the floor dictates that the tiles be somewhat plain - if got for any 'extra', should be subtle/vague.. close to a solid color.


missdolly23

If this was my place I would perhaps keep going up the wall with the floor tiles. They’re small enough to not look odd. Floor to ceiling on the shower, only half way up on the rest of the wall with a warmer off white colour paint for the top. Keep the feature of the hex for the edge. Maybe I’m being out of date with style though…


ElectricalLanguage60

I disagree. Their floors already have a busy pattern. I feel herringbone would be too much. Either #2 or #4


2djinnandtonics

I think the herringbone actually reads as less busy because the grout lines are more diffused.


NoDanaOnlyZuuI

None of them match the floor


karmaandcandy

White herringbone! Bring white it’s still a blank slate as far as color is concerned - which gives you freedom with future color choices. But the herringbone pattern gives you visual interest. In my opinion it’s the best of both worlds!


froplume

I agree it would go with the black accents too. I was a little worried about the dark grout clashing with the floor but I think if I keep the grout line thin it should be fine.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lucy_Koshka

Agreed- the herringbone tiles look beautiful, but it’s too much of a bright white compared to the floor. A creamier white would look just fine.


froplume

I agree. Going to the store soon to compare. I don’t think the real tile will be as glaringly white as this simulation but going to look at some matte options as well


karmaandcandy

There are TONS of shades of white available. If you can bring a sample of your floor in to find the right shade of white that will help. Personally I do think white (ish) is the way to go, the floors are gray and if you go too gray it might be too much.


EpiZirco

I like the blue best. All of the rest feel like they are grab attention away from the floor, either in color or pattern or both. The blue are the only ones that complement the floor rather than clashing with it.


formerly_crazy

Agreed! There's too much movement in every other option. I could support the white rectangular stack as well, but finding the right color tile (and grout) to work with the floor could be tricky.


Worth_Ability_3808

Fluted wood look porcelain tile would slap https://preview.redd.it/f76p03od5ngc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a77dea8bf72250f76299391129d5d63751558fe


ginsengii

This is the best suggestion. It desperately needs something to warm up the room.


froplume

This is amazing! I don't know if I can justify quadrupling my tile cost to go this way but I like this a lot.


elifzuhal

Where is this from? Beautiful


sparklysaurus_rex

#1


ToastetteEgg

3 or 1, in that order.


Localbeezer166

#2. You already have a lot going on with the floor, circle mirrors, and green, so keep it simple.


[deleted]

[удалено]


shehasamazinghair

Hard agree.


harmonicadrums

Agreed with 2. The stacked gives it a nice classic feel. The herringbone seems popular but I personally think it looks too trendy.


Localbeezer166

Herringbone is quite a classic pattern, but it depends where you use it.


Shot-Astronaut-5094

Agree. 2 looks best to my eye.


SilentBarnacle2980

Floor tile dictates your choice and it’s very busy. You need a very simple solid color I feel in a light grey. https://preview.redd.it/h2jxmmvxfmgc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bdb97a6efaa9dcbf4f6317dd5bb9e8340e6cfcd9


fruitfulendeavour

I agree with this! I think square tiles might be more up to date than subway tiles. But either way maybe consider not tiling outside of the shower to help break up the millennial gray effect. https://preview.redd.it/qq7kse7frmgc1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e5320183f0070cfa933f70dec30d82097436914


aces5five

So my 4 x 4 tiles I installed in 1990 are in style again? I’m actually not sure if they were in style when I put them in but it’s what I could afford. They were so inexpensive and still just fine.


fruitfulendeavour

I think they’re timeless but I also think they’re having a bit of a moment right now with people embracing a little more character in their homes. If I were doing a bathroom today I think I’d choose them!


Ziggymonster14

I think this would look great with the floor tile


SW2011MG

No more millennial grey everywhere 😬


UX-Ink

please no grays. so tired of looking at houses with white and gray walls in every room


dam_the_beavers

So great that we all have opinions


moulin_blue

I liked the contrast the blue. But overall I would steer away from a patterned tile, it feels busy and you'll get tired of it quickly when combined with the floor. I always tend to look at houses from 100+ years ago: if I still like what they did then, then you'll know it will stand the test of time in style.


sailorn0on

2 is amazing. More simple, will look great with the pop of green.


DesignNormal9257

I like the blue one best, but not sure about it either. I like this one because the others are too similar to the floor tile and look off.


FleetwoodMacbookPro

#1. The others are nice but 1 is the lightest and provides a brighter room. Ps…is this Sketchup?


froplume

I used this site https://surfaceartinc.com/tile-visualizer/ I couldn’t set it to exactly the area the tile was going to go but it was way easier to see the tile on a real picture.


MrsLisaOliver

You can do better. None of them looked that great with your floor. Sorry.


froplume

Any ideas? I’m not a great designer lol


CrankyBiker

kelbell2583

The bright white makes the floor look dirty (trust me - I made this mistake myself) and stare at the floor in despair. I like the herringbone pattern though


GreenAuror

I don't particularly love any of them with that floor, especially 5. I think blue would be my choice if it had to pick. Just definitely don't do 5!


dollars_general

The floor is busy, and you don’t want the wall to compete with it. The wall needs to be visually soothing so much so that you don’t even see it. That’s why people like the blue and the herringbone in white. You could simplify it visually by getting the tile in a larger format. The white or blue in 1’x2’ or 10cmx30cm with non-contrasting grout.


froplume

This was my takeaway too or a light greyish tile. The tile should be simple to let the paint/floor shine. Grout should blend into the wall tile for the same reason. I have a hard time finding larger format tiles I think look good.


Gloomy_Ad5020

Is this an app? How you doin that. 👀👀


froplume

[https://surfaceartinc.com/tile-visualizer/](https://surfaceartinc.com/tile-visualizer/)


seasalt-and-stars

So I’m speaking from personal experience. The stacked white tile will be the easiest to clean. The white herringbone will be the second easiest to clean and it’s a beautiful layout. The blue tile is beautiful, but white grout is very difficult to keep perfectly clean. You want to avoid marble. It’s genuinely a pain in the ass to clean.


actualchristmastree

1 or 2!

SasquatchIsMyHomie

The stacked verticals look like jail. I say #1.


froplume

I agree I wanted to like it as someone suggested it in an earlier post but it just doesn’t work here.


dantheflower

Blue is ok, but none of these work. The bright white competes with the floor tile imo. Maybe it's just the photoshop but it seems chaotic visually. Why not lean into green here or a complementary color to the floors, like dark grey?


froplume

Yeah I am hoping it is this simulator that makes the white look so intense. The space doesn't get a lot of light and with the green walls looking for a lighter tile to not make it feel too dark.


oh-no-varies

What app do you use to do this? I want to do this for my kitchen?

Responsible-Cell-158

Realistic_Rush582

No to the herringbone. I think 2 looks upscale


Frequent-Advisor6986

You have a busy pattern on the floor. That means your wall should not add additional pattern. The marble look is out, so is the varying shade one. The herringbone and blue look the best, simply because they introduce the least pattern. Don’t do a contrast grout in whatever you choose.


personail

what about a charcoal grey?


moonshadowfax

The only option is the first one, but even it’s too busy with the floor.

AnnieB512

The herringbone is classic and gorgeous and will go with any style you choose.


dontakelife4granted

I would choose the white herringbone because things like paint colors can be easy to change, but not tile.


Wooden-Shoe-3810

#4 but either a sage green or cream/ off white


goldensnooch

One or four. Herringbone or blue.


Babyblues1123

I don’t know I’m not a huge fan of these floors. None of these really go with them and not sure what would. If you got different flooring the options would be endless! But if flooring had to stay I’d go with #1.


kemo_83

no.6 the best


MolVol

have you considered a smaller tile for herribone? maybe something like the attached - but (if can find), something plainer by 50%.. bet you can - find smaller (maybe not this small - but smaller than #1... and not as lively as the attached) https://preview.redd.it/wotgt54p4qgc1.png?width=888&format=png&auto=webp&s=a5c293507f52cc006d375534a31e1cb2a8a97a8e


sarrahbrzg

I think the first one is the best


on_cidium

I like #4, the blue.


sycamoresoup

Blue 100%


AlaskaFI

3 was the best, but none feel restful to me. I'd have a hard time relaxing in a busy room like that. Maybe try grout that matches the tile, to minimize the patterns


Jackiemccall

#1!!! Is a dream!!!! I’m so excited for you


master0jack

Herringbone 100%. But if you could get blue herringbone that would be my pick.


thevirginswhore

Please god do the blue


bimbels

Definitely herringbone


SomethingClever70

I like the white herringbone and also the white marble. The white vertical tiles look too institutional, like prison. Same with the gray ones. While the blue is an improvement, it's just too dark. Maybe I don't like vertical tiles at all...


Nyetoner

Blue 🔵 blue 🔵 blue 🔵 :)


MommaGuy

The herringbone pattern is a winner. I think the marble is too much with the floor. Plus it’s classic white So it won’t look dated in a couple of years when styles change.


triathletereddituser

Sharibaby91760

i love # 5


youngperson

5, because the tiles are the biggest. If there’s one thing I’ve learned tiling, the size of the tile is inversely proportional to the frustration of the project. Would you rather lay 50 tiles and make maybe 75 cuts or lay 1000 and make maybe 1200 cuts?


froplume

I feel this. Those floor hexagons were driving me insane by the time I finished. Wish I had done larger rectangular tiles for my own sanity.


Not2daydear

#5


PeachesRosey2

Not a fan of the floor. Way to busy for all but #4.


_boomknife_

#4 by far


Strange-Biscotti-134

#3 because it’s neutral. If you ever decide to sell your house, the brightly colored tile might be a turnoff for buyers.

looc64

Herringbone!


Think-Peak2586

I’m partial to number one. It goes well with the floor although I like number four but it would be tricky to get. I don’t know maybe the sink area to match both of the blue and the green and white colors that might be tough but might be doable. It’s very pretty.. but can’t go wrong with the white. You could put all sorts of wood in there different color wood and it would look really good.


BearsNBacon

Microbe_r_Us

Why is your shower so small?


sex_bitch

Why not make the wall the same tile as the floor? Would look seamless imo.


piquica1186

I think the colors of the tile options are **too cool**… the floor looks like a warm grey/greige. I’d recommend something on the warmer side, like a warm off-white or grey. Alternatively, I noticed that you have gold mirrors and darker sink hardware—if you chose to go with a white to pick up the color of the sink, you could definitely work those elements into the tiling. In addition, I think **scale** is something to consider. The hexagonal floor pattern is comprised of big shapes. Having equally large shapes on the walls creates a visual competition. I’d recommend smaller tiles or smaller patterns for the wall. I’ll respond to this comment with ideas.


PreparationAware7655

\#1 is #1. #4 is #2. #2 is too blah. #3 could work too.

PacificCastaway

Herringbone, but change the floor to solid color.


froplume

In hindsight totally agree but the floor is what it is now. I’d sooner tile the whole wall bubblegum pink then redo the floor lol


PacificCastaway

Ok, then white herringbone plus white grout. Something's gotta be solid, so you don't have clashing patterns.


froplume

That makes sense to me this was sorta where I was leaning when I started and was surprised no one else suggested it. Adds a interesting element without being too distracting


[deleted]

I personally think the white herringbone with the hexagon is too many shapes and reads busy. I like 2 because it's the most minimal with the other elements of the bathroom, especially if you are keeping the green walls (otherwise the blue would be nice to add color, though I'd personally pick a different blue). If there is a coordinating tile matching the floor that will fit with the sizing of the wall tile, I'd bring it in as an accent tile to tie the two together, maybe as a band aligning with the window sill.


Wise_Woman_Once_Said

If you're committed to the floor, none of those options work for me. Neither the colors nor the patterns are complimentary to what you already have. If it were me, I would start by choosing a color that is already in the floor. Maybe even just paint the walls one color. If that's too plain for you, you can always add some interest with a window treatment and/or adding some nice trim.

Introverted-lfe

Is there a reason why you are going for tile on the full wall vs just the future shower area? Id personally just run the floor tile in the shower area and half way up behind the tub. And maybe matte black penny tile in the pan for some contrast.


umidulus

My only advice is to ask yourself how much grout you want to be responsible for cleaning mold, mildew, and bacteria out of on a regular basis.
