Bathroom tiles with moasic/feature trendy or not?

[Sum2021]

Renovating vathroom and have white marble tiles (calcutta style). We will be tiling tbe floor, one wall fully (wall with bathtub and sink) and half tile the remainder of the bathroom. The wall and floor tiles will be the same.

Is a 'feature' tile strip (e.g. strip of moasic tiles or diff colour tiles) dated or still trendy and nice design feature?

I welcome your opinions.

Ha I was looking at something on Pinterest which had exactly that - a mosaic stripe going up the middle of the shower and I thought: well that's a dated style! All over marble does seem to be the thing at the moment. I'm using arabesque marble tiles in a bathroom. Lose the feature mosaic stripe.

If you mean anything like this picture then yes very dated, I never liked it in the first place though.

our last house had one of these running horizontally round the walls and they were a nightmare to clean as there is a lot more grout in the mosaic strip

If you are using calcutta marble K have seen lots of bathrooms where they use the same tile design but in a different shaped tile as a contrast wall/area.

Thanks for the advice. I wont go for moasic.

How so? Same colour tile also?

You could choose a different tile in a nice colour to be the shower wall if you wanted to break it up? Those lovely ceramic ones in bottle green or blue look nice against the marble. I wouldn’t do a strip, reminds me of a Hilton hotel. But a different wall is nice, especially if it’s logical to be different, eg the shower wall or space.

Or different shape and pattern in same marble as wall, eg hexagon or the longer rectangles in herringbone or vertical.

Yes so like a big rectangle or the coin or lozenge mosaic (more on trend style than mini squares) or hexagon. So same material but perhaps large tiles in shower but whole panel or wall behind sink in the smaller tile in same material.

Or something like these tiles www.ctdtiles.co.uk/gemini-tiles/kingston/p-7814-kingston-concept-white-brillo-tile-600x300mm.aspx. There are matching plain tiles.

Does trendy matter, I put a mosaic border of really expensive had made reclaimed glass tiles around my bathroom 5 years ago. I still love it and it still brings me joy to look at, to hell with trendy!

I agree with @nellly .
Unless you are renovating a house to sell, why not decorate to please your self rather than if it is trendy. I am not sure whether my decor is on trend but as I am planning to stay for 5 years + I choose what I like to look at/ works for us. I've one friend who was quite snooty when she visited my new place but I like to think most of my friends don't judge

If you aren't doing the house up to sell, do what you like, not what's trendy. The trend will certainly change a couple of times before you refit the bathroom so fitting whats on trend today is pretty pointless.

White square tiles with a thin mosaic border is definitely very 1990s. But If you like mosaic tiles (I do) you can find other ways to use them. I did a feature wall in the mosaics I liked but kept the other walls and floor very plain with a toning grout colour (silver grey).
