They are quite if the moment and might not date well would be my first impression. They seem quite dark (or that might be my screen) which is trendy now, but again will date quicker than more classic choices.
Depends what sort of house/flat you have, is it a fairly new house?

I think those choices will date quite quickly. Are both rooms quite big?

So, two downstairs rooms, both average size, and we should be there around 15 years so will change before we sell

These are two of four bathrooms (the other two being two en suites) which will be much more bland and will change the vinyl flooring to help update in a few years

I like the copper tiles, what colours are you thinking with those?

A friend recently did their bathroom in grey and slate and I was surprised at how cold looking it is, almost quite harsh, even with the fluffy warm coloured towels etc. So I’m struggling to picture your grey colour scheme. Do you have an image of how you want it to look OP?

Mandarin Stone have got a sale on at the moment, it might be worth having a look on their website. Fired Earth have too but are still quite expensive!! I’ve just had a look at Mandarin Stone and they’ve styled a copper tile with pink! It’s not as bad as I was expecting but I guess my choice would have been a deep emerald green to complement if your room isn’t too small and/or dark.

I don’t do Pinterest but I look up their company hashtags on Twitter and Instagram to get ideas as I’m doing an ensuite/bathroom soon. Tons of Tiles also have a lot of pictures and they’re very reasonably priced.

The grey tiles for the shower will be a bigger to keep clean! Go for really big tiles in the shower, with a smooth matte finish, and don't use white grout. You could use the ones you've shown as an accent though.

The mirror tiles will show every splash and you'll forever be polishing them.

The copper tile is very nice, as long as you've already got a bright room otherwise it will look dark and gloomy.

Have a look at Crown Tiles, their prices and selection are excellent. They send free samples out in a day or two too.
