I desperately need advice from people who have a flair for this kind of thing. I don't.
I am having 2 bathrooms refitted. One is a fairly normal sized bathroom and will have tiles on 2 of the 4 walls (around the bath, window, basin). The other is huge, and will be tiled all over (apart from 2 floor to ceiling mirrors on the walls).
I have to decide on tiles and am completely stumped. In our old house (small bathroom) we used plain white over-sized tiles and it looked great (I thought). I was going to replicate this, but the plumber was horrified and said it woould look awful - too white, too clinical - as did a few RL friends.
I haven't a clue what would look nice. I'm not keen on mosaics, and I don't like that effect where you have basically plain tiles with a few random patterned ones scattered around. So I'm thinking either plain white (or another colour) with a band of colour around the centre, or the top half in one colour and the bottom half in another? I have no idea what colours are appropriate (MIL suggested black and grey like her bathroom but that looks horrible IMO).
I want a 'luxury hotel' look in the bigger bathroom, but I also want it to be inoffensive and something that would be a selling point; we are planning on moving house in the next 2-3 years.
