Fully tile/shower panel ensuite & recommendations

I'm at the final choosing stages for my ensuite refit and am stalling on the tiles or shower panels issue and whether to fully tile/panel.

Relatively small room, shower along 1 short wall, WC & cabinetry opposite & combined sink/worktop and cabinetry along the window wall.

  1. Tile/panel the whole room.
  1. Tile/panel just the shower area & splashback over cabinets to window level (will only be about 10cm) and windowsill.
  2. Tile/panel shower area and remaining room to window level.

If I do 2 or 3, should I also fully tile the wall from the shower to the door, where the towel radiator will be?

Any shower panel recommendations??
Ideally looking for a largish tile format, not sure about colours, not keen on grey but it does go with pink...

Pictures below.

Drawing 1 was original thoughts, I've ditched the wall units and moved the towel rail to the opposite wall.

Pic 2 is a mock up I did online, again wall cabinets have been ditched and the the "tall cabinet" is actually the boarded out soil stack.

Pic 3 is a mock up from the cabinet supplier. Window is above the sink and I'm putting a mirror, or mirrored wall cabinet next to the window above the cabinet.

And then I need to choose flooring.....

Giving this a gentle bump as I'm also getting a similar layout en-suite put in. What have you decided to go for?
Also, if you don't mind me asking - what has this layout cost? Thanks!

We did our en-suite recently - it's a pretty similar size to yours. We went full tiles walls and floor and love it. So easy to clean.

We are doing this now. We have removed tiles in the shower and replacing with shower boards. We have a problem with mould due to poor air circulation so was having to regrout the discoloured grout once a year. We are hoping the shower board will be less maintenance as at worst, we should only need to re-sealant the edges when they go mouldy.

Ohh some replies. Love the pink tiles welshweasel, your picture looks fab! Are they tiles or panels?

I've been considering pink tiles for the shower and have just requested a multipanel sample this evening. Think doing the whole room pink, along with the pink furniture, would be too much for me though.
