Wall hung toilet wall

last month

Hi all, I am planning wall hung toilets in my house build. I had hoped to paint the walls where they are to be hung but the builder has said I need to tile the area behind them - I don’t want to tile the whole wall and am concerned tiling just that area will look out of place. I’ve included the tile. Any advice appreciated! Thanks

There’s no reason why you have to have tiles behind the loo. Perhaps the builder was thinking of splashes and easily wiping them off?

When you say tiles the third image shows board so did you mean board?

Thanks Daisy, yes, must be from a cleanliness point or view. He also said to have something solid there.
The tile shown is a matte 120*60 porcelain tile - it’s going on the floor and shower area (the walls perpendicular to the toilet wall shown)
I was also thinking I could put a different herringbone style tile on the toilet wall - green pic below or even go up half the wall with either tile

Once again, carolins has taken the words right out of my mouth. I sometimes feel like a crusader for entertainment centers and lowering art! You have a dynamic room with so much potential. Your wall could look amazing with the armoire carolins has pictured above. Of course, lower your sconces so that they're a about 4" below the top of the armoire and about 7" from the sides. Your fireplace should be your focal point with your wall being strong but not competing. Rooms get personality from smaller accents but you have too many little things that take away from the great colored pillows and the picture. Be careful not to hang things in straight lines--top of pictures should never line up with tops of doors or curtain rods. I wish we could see your fireplace in another photo. Chairs should form conversation groups with the couch like Carolyn has outlined. I like your chandelier but you might think about lowering it or moving it above a dining table--it looks rather lost way up there.

Without knowing your tastes or lifestyle or even what this room will be used for, hard to say Flea market iron work clocks in dark brown? Like this but smaller and more...

http://houzz.com/photos/3642990 This link kind of demonstrates the use of mosaics and the mirror idea I thought may be cool. Obviously they are vertical but I think it would work either way. Any pics of your tiles? I have seen your other post and know your suite is 'traditional' but another thing to consider I guess is the cost of the mosaics. £££ using lots may mean a big dent in your budget.

Tiling for tiny bathroom
Q

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!

I don’t have tiles behind my loo, just paint. I used Dulux Bathroom Paint which is very easy to clean.

I like tile behind the loo for a few reasons .

Splash resistant , no transition from tile to paint to deal with and condensation proof .

Thanks Sonia and Rob.
I’m wondering what it would look like if I just tiled around the toilet/frame and painted the rest of the wall

It can look very smart. Here’s a couple of examples I found where it is tiled from top to bottom behind the loo.

Thanks a lot Sonia. It does. The problem I have is, the toilets are on quite a big wall
