Something to take into cosideration would be the amount of light you have coming into the bathroom. Obviously if you have considerable light and air the tile shade wouldn't be too much of an issue. On the other hand if the room is small and not very light filled, then the lighter shades would be preferable giving the illusion of making the room appear bigger and lighter.

Hope post shows, got some weird error message

House in process of build. Dilemma about what to use instead of tiling walls. Came across a thread which suggested running the floor tiles up the vanity wall to create a feature. However I am not having a tiled floor but laminate planks with the label claiming100% waterproof flooring. Has anyone done this with flooring? I definitely do not want tiled walls. A number of queries..... 1. would the flooring still be affixed on the wall as the floor? 2. Would I take it to the ceiling...... so below and above wall hung vanity and above mirror? 3. Since I would not use this to feature the bath in the same room. What do you suggest I put here? The bath is a 1700 long btw/corner. I have never seen baths without some form of splash back? But I don’t want tiles.

This is the only photo. Wall colour is white and joinery is black. The floor tile is the light colour and will be in the entry, kitchen, family and dinning areas as well as bathrooms laundry and toilet. Can I pull off the dark carpet or should I choose a lighter shade to compliment the tile?
