Shower room: Would anyone else like to be able to source something other than metro tiles?

I’m looking for larger gloss tiles in aqua, mint, or sky blue type shades.
Something fresh looking and tranquil.
I’ve wasted hours lately trying to find something.
The room is compact and dark. I would like to minimise grout lines, and have light (but not white, grey or beige tiles.)
Has anyone got any ideas?

Looked at total tiles and al murad?

We have toughened glass panels behind the shower and behind the basin. No grout lines.

I'm planning a bathroom and looking at splash boards to avoid grouting.

Thanks to you all for your helpful replies. It was good to have other sites, (that I previously had not encountered) to look at, and other solutions as an alternative to tiles.
I had a bit of luck this morning, a site I had previously looked at had a new range in, so
I have been able to order Art Deco inspired tiles in Aqua, they are larger tiles as I wanted (300x600), but pre-scored to look as if they are smaller tiles. So 2 out of 3 of my tile wish list has been granted!

I have been looking for the same! Tops tiles do a 15x45 aqua tile. I’m bored of metro tiles too, plus all that grout to keep clean!
would you mind sharing a link to the ones you have found please?
I’d ideally like a large format tile, 120x60 cm but they only seem to be available as faux marble which I don’t really want.

What do you have behind the glass?

@thenewaveragebear1983
I wasn’t able to totally lose the metro tiled effect, but the tiles are larger so will go up quicker I hope.
The positive is that I love the colour & hopefully the variation will break the tone up a bit…we lost our existing shower room to an under the floorboards leak, so I just want to get it all sorted asap now🤦🏼‍♀️

@thenewaveragebear1983 I think that I like them laid vertically (2nd photo) rather than horizontally in the first one.

I hate grouting too. So we had wall panels put in, white and black with sparkly bits in. Lovely and light and CLEAN

They're quite expensive, but have some beautiful colours:

@wonkylegs i have that geometric one in my short list, but your other ones are lovely too, especially the montblanc one. Thank you!

We have these beauties in our bathroom. Bastard to fit but they look amazing.
