I am remodeling my bathroom. Plan to tile the floor and walls this week.

Can you tell me which style looks nicer? or maybe give me some other ideas.

I am also plan to do Diagonal tiling on walls (first raw of tile will be straight, that I will have small design line, and after that diagonal).

and I plan to achieve something similar to this. Tile on Floor and above bathroom.

It's a hard call- I'd go with A, but B does look nice :P

Funny enough I'm busy tiling my bathroom at the moment too. Personally I prefer all the tiles in the same direction. And then to use some kind of mosaic pattern to break it up.

of course, to the left of the door, there will be Vanity and toilet.

Actually I'd go with D which is A rotated 45 degrees (works best with square tiles). You will end up with mismatching floor and wall patterns anyway (floor tiles are usually larger) but option D gives the eyes a rest where the floor meets the wall. The downside is that it requires a lot of cutting.

I like B for normal flooring
C would look awesome for outside.
(talking about the style here, the actual tiles might not live long outside)

A would be easier, but B says I put more effort into this. Cutting tile sucks.

I am planning to do this on Wall above Bath-tab.

Have a normal raw of 12x12 tile, than decorative line (which should be 6 inch high), than a diagonal design using 12x12 tiles (section 50x60 on middle wall and 50x32 on two side-walls), and at than I plan to have a single raw of 12x12 tile.

What kind did you expect?

Well, this is a Linux site. Something to do with layouts in dwm or similar.

Give me some ideas if you have, please.

And what do you think would go the most with this layout on walls?
