Same tile used for shower walls & bathroom floor

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoIt is quite popular to use the same tile on both the floor and the wall! Sometimes the exact same, sometimes a different size on the wall, or if you want to add something to break it up you could run an accent tile throughout the shower, or an accent wall! I have included some examples from displays in our showroom, and manufacturer photos!

Comments (2)Tile is still the best thing for a walk-in shower to be waterproof. Neither the cork or hardwood will be. Think about installing a radiant floor under the tile like Sharon recommended. I like the NuHeat Radiant floor system the best....See MoreBathroom floors
Comments (4)Lino has been used in bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens and entranceways for 150 years (it is the THAT old...yep). The traditional checker board (black/white) is quiet "hot" in many areas of N. America...especially when a "retro" theme has been brought in (think 60's Diner). Lino is the old fashioned "vinyl" before plastics were invented. Then plastic was invented and people switched to "vinyl". Now people are moving away from plastics ('cause we've learned a thing or two about the environment) and are going back to the tried and tested Linoleum (Marmoleum = brand name for lino). Lots of fun in the black and white checkers! I think you'll like it....See Moreadvice on bathroom ensuite floor plan and tiling

Comments (0)Total reno of bathroom and ensuite. Need to keep in cream tones not grey as bathroom door needs to stay cream as per all other doors in house and interior colours. Sampled grey tone tiles and they clashed. New vanity below, light oak, pic of old ensuite, and ideas. Want to keep wall and floor at 600x600mm. Selling house so wide appeal needed. Darker floor and white walls ( by either dark tiles or a darker timber effect floor as pics) OR white floor and walls (do they need dark grout as per example below)? Will 600x600mm work for both floor and walls. Will 2x 600mm work up walls, dont want to go 3 high. Doing this to keep costs down. Painting everything else white and installing white shutters. Showers to remain as is, glass with aluminum frame....See More

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoThank you all, for the input. Due to the fact that the Leonia Silver tile comes in different sizes, we do have options as far as using smaller/larger tiles & what we do w/them (pattern).
I was considering putting a glass subway tile on the shower walls, to match the Leoni Silver porcelain bath floor tile.
Here is a pic of the Leonia silver porcelain floor tile -
And, here's (2)pic. of the glass tile -
And, next to the Leonia -
I'm still not sure what we've decided...as far as going with 1 tile and using it for the shower walls AND bath floor. Or, still keeping w/the Leonia tile for bath floor & going w/a *different* porcelain tile for shower walls only. FYI - we are putting in a white acrylic shower pan.
The only thing...Im just not so sure about the smaller tiles/more tiles & grout lines. it's just like everything else. ...just got to maintenance it.

7 years agoWe weren't originally....my husband & I both have agreed we didn't want a decorative tile, but, since it's neutral/simple, I may chg. my mind. Well see,... I do like that it would add a little contrast.
I found an even better glass tile I liked, but, at $13 Sq ft....I don't think so. However, if we did(an accent)I wouldn't feel so guilty going w/the better looking one.

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoHere's a bathroom where I used the Leonia Silver on floor and shower walls. (Here there was a tub, but I don't think that really matters for your question. I'd have done the same thing if a shower stall were an option.) I used a wavy white tile as an accent (also from either Lowes or HD, can't recall), and smaller tiles on the wall than on the floor.
Color is a bit off in the listing photo, but you get the idea anyway. The one thing is that this tile doesn't offer a small mosaic option, which is usually best for a non-slippy shower floor (grout is your friend for footing). I'd check with the tile folks about whether they think that the tile has enough texture to be on the shower floor.

Your glass seems a decent match, but I'm not sure you want it for a whole shower, and I don't see the benefit over just using the smaller Leonia size...

7 years agoWe used that very tile on this project. 12x24 for it all. It made the room feel mor spacous, and I think it came out really well. We did use a different tile for the shower floor, and another for the deco band that tied it all together with some contrast.
