After my authentic plan for the accent tile on the bathe wall fell by, I gave it fairly a little bit of thought this weekend and got here up with two new choices. I’m proper again to the concept of stripes (it’s simply the place my thoughts goes), and the 2 choices are literally the very same design, besides that I’m making an attempt to determine between horizontal or vertical. So let me present you what I’m contemplating.
I’m going to make use of 4″ x 16″ white tiles together with the 1/2-inch glass penny tiles. And whereas I solely have two of the white tiles available proper now, my plan is to do three rows of uninterrupted tiles, after which a row of the penny tiles. However that is shut sufficient so that you can get the concept. Right here’s how a horizontal design would look…
And right here’s how a vertical design would look…
If I have been to decide on between vertical or horizontal simply primarily based alone desire, and disregarding all different design plans for the toilet, I’d go along with horizontal. I virtually all the time favor horizontal stripes over vertical, and I virtually all the time favor subway tiles put in in horizontal rows (a extra traditional look) over vertical (a extra trendy look).
My difficulty is that this space proper right here the place the bathe tile design shall be separated from the toilet partitions by solely a 1″ x 4″ piece of trim painted within the trim coloration (Behr Polar Bear) with the blue Venetian plaster partitions and white wainscoting with a glass tile accent good there on the opposite aspect of the 1″ x 4″ trim piece.
I attempted to do a mock-up of the design utilizing horizontal stripes within the bathe. My concern with this design is having single row penny tile horizontal stripes within the bathe on one aspect of the 1″ x 4″ trim, after which having a wainscoting design on the opposite aspect that features a single stripe of 5 rows of penny tiles.
And there’s completely no approach that I can line up one of many single horizontal penny tile rows within the bathe with the penny tiles within the wainscoting. And I’m probably not even positive if I’d need or must. I can’t do the wainscoting within the lavatory till after the vanities are constructed. And I merely can’t wait that lengthy to complete the bathe. I want the bathe completed ASAP.
If I am going with the vertical design, that is sort of what it would seem like. (You’ll should squint actually arduous and tilt your head a bit to see previous my horrible mock-up and picture what it will actually seem like.)
So I can’t make up my thoughts if that’s completely okay to have every little thing horizontal on either side of the trim piece, the place nothing goes to line up on both aspect of the trim. Or is that not going to be cohesive? And if that’s the case, then I’d simply flip the bathe wall tile design in order that the stripes are vertical.
These are the sorts of particulars I make myself loopy over. ? I need it to look cohesive, and I don’t need visible litter. I favor horizontal stripes, however I simply can’t determine if I’m okay with this one space the place the bathe wall will meet the toilet wall. (And I’ll run into the identical difficulty on the opposite aspect of the room the place the bathroom room wall meets the toilet wall.) So perhaps I ought to simply follow vertical stripes? I do know I’d love vertical stripes as nicely, however so far as my desire goes, horizontal edges out vertical simply barely. Any ideas?
