Anyone have brown (or dark) tiles in the bathroom?

[LadyOfWaffle]

I need to get the tiles for the bathroom this week and saw brown in a picture a while back and loved them. I have lost my nerve abit now though and was leaning towards beige/stone but DH saw brown ones today he liked. I am wondering whether I should just go for it - it's a natural brown, they look like slate but... brown. The bathroom is small - just bath, then sink then loo and the tiles swould be floor to ceiling all over. No window but a velux - it's very very light/bright in there as the suns gets in all day. Does anyone have dark tiles? Do they look ok? Thanks

yes

we have very dark brown tiles which look amazing IMVHO

we had them laid horizontally and "in line" not brick style - they are also fairly big and not a solid colour

we have light coloured tiles on the floor and 6 halogens, so it is bright

I've got dark tiles on my bathroom floors. One is a slate grey - with white on the walls and the other bathroom has chocolate on the floor and caramel on the walls.

They both look lovely. I used grey grout on the floor ones and that brightens it up a bit and they are quite large tiles too - so not too fussy. They do show the dust though - try ad go for smoothish ones as the slate I have is rough and its a bugger to sweep.

The builders have squashed in 4 spotlights (odd because of the velux though) but am putting in a lit up mirror too. I wondered about putting in a pale floor or keeping it all the same...?

i would do a pale floor

I like the dark.

Small shower room. Large dark brown tiles on the wall, with paler limestone type ones on the floor.Looks very nice.

there are a few dark walls and floors on here.

I almost googled dark brown TILERS!! I'm not sure what would have come up!

We have dark green tiles in our ensuite, and a light floor. It is quite a small room with a velux window, and halogen spots.

we have dark tiles in a very small windowless bathroom - but not all over, only the bath/shower area. The rest is cream.

Do you think tiles over all 4 walls would feel a bit institutional? That would be my only worry - regardless of colour.

Thanks - I will look into a pale floor but it might be hard to coordinate these ones. I don't think it'll look too institutional as they aren't solid brown , they are natural /multishaded. Hard to explain Ah well, DH has 'picked' them so at least I can blame him if it looks like the inside of a lift!

And thanks for the pics

They sound great Dark grey and very dark plummy red look good too.beige id a developers dream and has started to look a bit cheap and common unless very top end Go for it they sound great
