Need floor tile help for odd shaped bathroom!!
Please help me decide what shape and size floor tiles would work best in this angled bathroom. Large format tiles can become small fragments in an angled bathroom so I'm not in favor of them. I was thinking about a medium-sized porcelain hexagon shape but don't know how they would look being cut on an angle. Also, depending on the tile, I need to know in which direction to lay them.
I live in the desert, and my house is Spanish colonial so I want to keep that style in mind. Also, any help with shower wall and floor tiles would be appreciated as well.
Thank you all for your help! I really need it!

Need help updating bathroom
Comments (21)My understanding: You didn't find any problem functionally, but you feel this looks old & need some brightness & change in this. My advise: 1). Remove towel rod, shift it next to tub or behind closet & have full length mirror, which will make your space double & reflect natural light as well thus makes the space more bright. 2). Get couple of plants (small plants or bush type or creepers which doesn't occupy much space on floor but grows vertically). 3). Get some artifacts made from bright colored glass, can flower vase or wall hangings or glass tiles etc, these can be of yellow or Bright Orange color these are to be hung on walls opp to mirror or pasted(3M tape both side glued) if you are using tiles. 4). Get a mat of same color as artifacts & place between tub & closet. these all are easily done by yourself. OR if you can afford to then replace only green tiles & floor tiles if you wish to OR all tiles....See MoreBathroom
Comments (11)Sure you can, we do it all the time in rental properties. Old houses have windows in the showers and renters do not take care of tile. You just need the right saw and then tub trim. Not everyone can tile- it takes a lot of patience and a tile saw. And if you are not a DIYer naturally it can be a big mess. We have done a lot of repairs to walls from botched tile jobs. And hiring out is expensive. You say you have a small budget. Chances are with the look of the tile in the pic- you may have water damage already. Powdy, it all depends on your skill level and actual budget and what you find underneath you remove the tiles....See MoreRedesign my bathroom
Comments (5)Hi there, We're in Kilkenny and we're lighting designers. A lot depends on budget but if you are re-fitting areas we could recommend fittings for the walls plus how about highlighting the top of wall with a good bathroom uplighter around edge - LED perhaps. The issue is that it is too flat as the colours are similar. If you added more depths of light it would help greatly. Of course we do a full range of bathroom fittings too so even a simple thing like two well chosen wall lights would help significantly.

Comments (30)Hi! What was your final decision? I am also working on my tiny WC and came to the following conclusions (after 2 months spent in tile shops, looking through houzz and pinterest photos). The tiles in small spaces: 1. Should reflect. The space should not be matt and absorb the light. The glazed tile reflects the objects like a mirror and creates depth. 2. Should not be oversized. When you like the big tiles on the photo you posted - just adore them at the picture. they will not go to a tine space. Compare the size of the bathroom and the size of the tile. Try to imagine the pattern. 3. Don't be mislead by professional designs and photos (like the ones you posted and you like). Most of them are the bathrooms which are really huge in size. So the tiles that are on the picture will not go for your project. You want a small SPA oasis? Forget about concrete and metal look and all the things like that. I took a sample of concrete tile in my bath... really you feel uncomfortable, when you step on the concrete barefoot, Though I have floor heating , I wouldn't go barefoot. Its concrete!:))) Concrete is good for a big loft or industrial design, I think. 5. For a SPA - look I would opt either for the mosaic (which is classical for SPA, but be careful with that. May be monochromatic or achromatic) or wood optic tiles combined with warm white tones. 6. Much color in small bathrooms is not a good option. It is better to add it with accessories. Moreover you can change the look just by replacing your turqoise towels by grey ones. You can add dynamics only by choosing not a typical size of the white tile and making an interesting pattern. For example, for my tiny WC i have 25x75 cm tiles and will put them in a brick wall style. What I have chosen for my tiny WC is a wood optic (very light) tile for the floor and white tiles for the walls. They will cover the wall by 120 cm. The rest of the wall will be covered with wallpaper (navy blue or dark gray). Or may be just painted. Wish you good luck!...See More

Ii is difficult to see, but the beams compliment the lighter color in the cabinets and also the floors.

Should I hang a piece of art on the wall opposite the hand towels to balance the space?

Is this mat color and size ok? 31"L x 20"W. I really like it because it has a great texture and almost matches the grout color. I don't know what to do about a shower mat since the shower door cannot clear a mat.

Should I hang a shelf or a piece of art (although it would be too low) above the toilet? Notice how the towel bar end is directly above the holder.kellycmackay75

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoWow! like the tile and the items put together... and imo you don't need a thing by the vanity. Possibly a square piece, of canvas, which wipes off easily, over toilet.... Widest is the top window, then wider for art, then not wide is the toilet ? :)

2 years agoThanks for your suggestions and ideas! I thought the mat was too narrow, and I never even considered a shade for the window, oops.
Concerning the toilet paper holder, the other wall is 34" long and there are 35 1/2" between the walls. Therefore, the far end of the holder spindle will be aligned with the front of the bowl which means the tissue will end up the beside the bowl so not sure about function. In my master bath the tissue roll starts at the front of the bowl and continues away from the bowl, which works fine, but this placement is the opposite. Here's how it would look:
