To think dh has no taste?

[Picante]

Yeah yeah I probably should have put this in DIY/property but that's dull!

So what do you think of these tiles?

Scroll down to SPRING (the pink one).

We're having a Victorian style bathroom, roll-top bath etc. I want two of these on either side of the shower on the cubicle walls (i.e. inside the shower). We are having the walls dark pink below the dado and off-white above the dado.

Fantabulous and poncetastic, non?

Dh has said no, but I am ignoring him slowly talking him round.

I'm with dh. They are quite quite hideous.

Oh Good God Above, they are awful!

Sorry!

Sorry, really not my thing.

inside the shower, i think will look quite odd tbh!!!

how big are they?

i can't say I actively dislike them, but they'd have to be in the right place in the right room for me to actively LIKE them too

They're only 6" square!

Oh Lord, no.

Listen to the man for gawd's sake!

Well I quite like them. If you are going for that style and have the right kind of house (not mine) they could loook good, I think.

But I think that whole style has to come over a bit tongue in cheek - as it is so fantastically poncetastic.

I'm going to say get them, as my hippy parents had a mirror with all of those four images on it, and it's taken me right back to my childhood.

I'm quite choked.

Could be nice by a fireplace, but I do think they'd look a bit out of place in a shower.

I quite like things like this seen in other folk's eclectic homes... would hate it in my own though.

Our house is period.

I blow raspberries to you all.

BTW, they are art nouveau though, so not really the right era for a Victorian bathroom...

...Although if we're going to get picky, domestic houses didn't have bathrooms until the 1920s so...

...I'll get my coat.

The tiles themselves are fine, in the right context. But it seems clash of styles to have a shower cubicle and Victorian tiles. Can you link to the shower cubicle, in case I am just not visualising it correctly?

Hell no.

Sorry - hit post too soon. . That should have read, "Not quite my taste".

It's not really a cubicle like a walk-in shower, just has tiled walls.

The shower is a fixed head.

That picture is called Printemps (1900) so ner ner.

better pictures hereof the panel idea

i have a period house and i hate them. but that's just my taste

Our house is period...still wouldn't have them. BUT, each to their own! If your DH actively dislikes them maybe YABU and should find a compromise.

hideous

Lol tethersend.

I quite like them, think it would look cool if going for the Victorian thing and period house.

Why not

i quite like them, though think they might look like they're meant to be in a fireplace...

I think current taste in decor has gone over-bland though, and i really like a bit of decoration, so can see where the op is coming from - and if you're bathroom is big enough it can take decoration, in fact rather needs something.

actually, looking at the other picture of a set-in panel i think they're great! and if anything, the effect is more tasteful than a real victorian bathroom might have looked.

Our bathroom's pretty massive. Everything else is going to be plain.

I still love them. I will not show dh this thread.

Oh no.

I really like them - stick to your guns.
