Which tiles should I choose?

[itstheyearzero]

Biggish bathroom, one wall will be taken up completely by a frameless walk in shower. We are having a free standing bath on the other side, then loo and sink in between. The tiles will only be in and around the shower, the rest of the walls will be painted grey tongue and groove half way up and painted above, not decided on colour yet but either white or dark grey.

We are doing the house up to sell as we are splitting up, so it needs to appeal to most people..

Option 1: www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/liguria-split-face-effect-tiles-charcoal-split-face-tiles

Option 2:www.stone-directuk.com/store/Riven-Slate-Dovedale-Strips-p72021466

Option 1 doesn't look as dark in real life and option 2 is definitely more grey than blue.

Help!

I like the second one. The first looks already dated to me.

[Synecdoche]

Second one for me as well.

I like the 2nd. The larger tile and the colour make it look more luxe. Good luck.

The second.

Thank you. I am keener on option 2 as well . Do you think dark grey above the pale grey boards like this..www.idealhome.co.uk/bathroom/bathroom-ideas/take-a-look-around-this-glamorous-grey-bathroom-39267

Or white above pale grey boards like this...

Get some white in there or it'll be like showering inside a battleship .

We've just had our shower done in marble herringbone if you're looking for a paler finish. Here it is mid way through the work

[iamdazedandconfused]

I like the second tiles and the white paint

[kkkkaty123]

Definitely number 2. Vic that is beautiful

[itstheyearzero]

That's lovely vicar. My STBX is tiling though and he won't do anything too fancy!

[itstheyearzero]

FFS vic!

Our tilers hated doing it. I imagine they have a tiny voodoo doll for clients like me that gets the pin treatment when herringbone is mentioned
