I think this gray faux wood tile will look very nice with brown carpet. It also will look wonderful in an all white kitchen!

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.

Hi - about to renovate our bathroom and so far we are keen on using a combo of large marble/carrara floor tiles which will also go into shower area and up the walls of the walk in shower. We also want to use white subway tiles on another wall. For the vanity we are thinking of black wooden drawers with plain white stone top and white basin . For the tap ware we are keen on gunmetal but worried it might look dated in a few years. We want a contemporary look though. What are your thoughts on this combo. We thought of doing the vanity drawers in pale grey but think it might need the black to “lift” it as there is already too much grey/white in the tiles. Thoughts? Anyone got pictures of similar combos? Thanks!

I wouldn't do skirtings . I'd do the floor tile for '1 tile' up the wall ( assume they are 200 x 200 or 300 x 300 -- cut them if 400 or 600 ) . Personally , I'd probably even do the 'silver' tiled areas in that 1 height darker tile too , as it would make the whole room look more 'level' , but thats up to you and your tiler .
