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.

OOh NotQuiteCockney I'd like to see that!

It is going to look similar to this but the toilet has a high cistern. Probably not quite as pink as that but hopefully will give you more of an idea.

I cannot believe this thread has generated so many replies!

Maybe I shouldn't admit that I have bought this mirror and matching cabinet and shelves...

dado rails are pointless rubbish

Sorry, is that website called 'pine solutions'?

If thats the solution, what in heaven's name is the problem?

It's terrifying.

I actually shivered with the horribleness of them. But they ARE different, I'll give you that...

BessieBoots · 14/03/2010 18:37

But I really like the mirror, and the bathroom in your link. No pretentious tiles in that pic... (sorry for being so honest btw)

FatherOfTwoBoys · 14/03/2010 18:41

Have to agree with DH on this one.....

*orchard. I'm a dimwit.

Too much pink for me. Our bathroom is v plain, white tiles, the cabinets are behind mirrors. Ok, the floor is a bit busy (not changed since previous tenants) but at least the nippley wall tiles are gone.

Must have been a typo. She meant a dildo rail.

Be wary of criticising your partner?s taste, after all, they chose you!

BitOfFun · 15/03/2010 00:20

The original Mucha print is rather beautiful, if you google it- but the way it has been reproduced on those tiles strips it of any warmth or charm. The whole thing comes across as rather seventies fantasy art, and a bit cheesy.

Blackduck · 15/03/2010 06:13

we have those in a fireplace in our house (there when we bought the house) I always get the most overwhelming urge to draw glasses and a mustache on her.......

Picante · 15/03/2010 07:02

Ooh very interesting about the dado. Our current bathroom has a dado, and I like it.

However, you lot are making me think... maybe it's a bit too much!

Have found some nice William De Morgan and William Morris tiles...

I love those tiles. You must have them.

Cloudbase · 15/03/2010 12:41

Ooh, I love art nouveau, but I think Nocturnal Slumber are much much nicer - can't you fit them into your scheme instead?
