To think dh has no taste?

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.

1900? Oooh, just in...

A Victorian bathroom is still a bit of a misnomer though

Agree with eggy, at least it won't look like every other 'DIY show bathroom'

And now I have got the idea of a modern shower cubicle out of my head, I think you should go for it.

I love them! Very Mucha. Might bear them in mind for when we get round to doing our bathroom, in fact.

EggyAllenPoe · 13/03/2010 19:50

i rather fancied something like this for our bathroom, but as it is 6' by 8' that would probs just look daft.

i think you ought to stick your fingers in your ears and buy them anyway op, life's too short to always be wondering about what people will say about the decor when you're trying to flog them your house....

SawneyBeane · 13/03/2010 19:59

But they will be watching you whilst you are naked and soapy...

wonka · 13/03/2010 20:05

I like them.. if you keep everything else really plain...

Dh said that - that people wouldn't want to buy the house because of them. I don't care - it's my house and I've no intention of moving. I'm fed up of PLAIN PLAIN PLAIN.

I have just printed one out and put it on the kitchen table for dh to peruse....!

They're waterproof pictures. Would you hang a picture in your shower?

You have no taste.

BelleDameSansMerci · 13/03/2010 20:14

Very Alfonse Maria Mucha. They may even be Mucha? I like them but I really like Art Nouveau. Not really Victorian - a little bit later.

Don't go there BDSM- I tried to point that out earlier, she was having none of it

Picante · 13/03/2010 20:19

Would it help if I said it was Edwardian then?

OP posts:
BelleDameSansMerci · 13/03/2010 20:20

Ah, but it's one of my "things"... Art Nouveau; Pre-Raphaelites; and Aubrey Beardsley. Anything else and it's best guess territory.

Seriously, if the bathroom is VicWardian, I think they'd look great.

hormonesnomore · 13/03/2010 20:21

We have a roll top bath in our bathroom but NO tiles - just wood panelling half way up the walls. Much nicer imo. Sorry.

Cicatrice · 13/03/2010 20:21

I like them, but I like the Nocturnal Slumber ones better.

noddyholder · 13/03/2010 20:22

No they are for a period fireplace and even then are a bit iffy.

Picante · 13/03/2010 20:23

we're not having tiles anywhere apart from in the shower.

tethersend · 13/03/2010 20:25

It's all getting a bit postmodern

Picante · 13/03/2010 20:29

...and Karndean wood effect flooring..

Good God they are hideous. I would definitely NOT buy a house with those in.

I love period houses and have always lived in them. But I decorate mine with taste

Listen to your DH. He speaks sense.

PfftTheMagicDragon · 13/03/2010 20:42

They don't look very victorian.

or nice.

but that's my taste. And i hate bland and boring

Ingles2 · 13/03/2010 20:46

bloody hell they're awful!
I'm really sorry Picante but they would look just hideous in a shower. Period is not an excuse for tasteless tat you know
