Can you use any kind of tile for the bathroom around the tub or shower?

Most yes a little more info would help us help you.I usually suggest large format tiles in those areas to keep grout lines to a min.

If using large format, 12 x 12 or bigger, I would recommend using a porcelain tile vs ceramic. You can use natural stone like travertine, granite or marble but I would stay away from slate. If using a small format, 6 x 6 or smaller, you can use a standard ceramic wall tile.

Ah ok! Thank you kind people I guess the vote goes to tile then. I haven't started but will overlay over the existing tiles. And yes I was referring to walls. I was shown lovely pictures of bathrooms that had painted walls but was adviced against it as a) my bathroom is pretty small and b) those picts were probably of powder rooms. Thanks again

Even if a bathroom is art deco it can still be clean. There are some amazing designs that comprise your minimalist aspirations whilst still reflecting art deco themes. The difference is that one is more "flexible"" than the other... It boils down to how daring you want to be... (and tiles are expensive to buy and replace)

Amazing photos! I think it all depends on your style. I like a very simple and minimal spaces with hints of texture or strong graphics. I would love an all white bathroom with moroccan inspired grey tiles or maybe even graphic tiles. I don't think it's a risk at all!

Hi Thrishna, looks like you've put quite a lot of effort cleaning it already. Have you already tried the following: • Oxygenated bleach • Warm water • Coarse scrubbing brush (like an old toothbrush) • Towel • Lemon • Grout sealer TIP: Cleaning coloured grout should be done with special care. Bleaching agents (like chlorine bleach) can discolour and harm the coloured grout. Fortunately, oxygenated bleach does not contain corrosive chemicals and is safe to use on all grout. For those impossible-to-remove stains, you might want to consider: A commercial tile and grout cleaner A coarser brush (avoid using metal bristles, though, as they can erode the grout) Grout stain-proof If after you’ve tried all three, the stain is still hanging strong, you may have to resort to removing the old grout and replacing it with new. I got the above tips from our article "Household Headaches: How to Clean Tile Grout" here: https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/household-headaches-how-to-clean-tile-grout-stsetivw-vs~33806355 It's quite an extensive guide, so you might want start out with the lightest options?

Christine,

If you're looking to put some tile in the shower itself we make subways tiles that look amazing in bathrooms. If you look under our projects at the country line or the opal line. If you're looking for something bigger we just got in a new line called Mash Up which you can also find under our projects.

Best,

Siena Decor
