I know anything to do with decoration is a personal thing but I am asking for opinions from people who made a choice of tiles I am about to make.

About the only wall/floor tile at a realistic price that appeals to me is one that mimics a grey stone with small fossils, with a matt finish. The bathroom this is going in has two good sized windows and will have 4 LED lights (low output). I am concerned the grey will look a bit dark, even though I like the look of the tiles. Has anyone installed grey "stone effect" floor and wall tiles?

An alternative would be to put the grey tile on the floor and a lighter tile from the same range on the wall (I haven't got a sample of that yet). Has anyone put a darker tile on the floor? Did you like the effect or wish you had stuck with one tile colour throughout?

Thanks,

Clive

Not yet ...

Kitchen has light 12" floor tiles with 2" dark border inset around
perimeter and dark 6" wall tiles.

Already bought same tiles for bathroom but with dark 12" floor tiles and
light 6" wall tiles with dark 2" border at dado height, however my floor
area is relatively small.

Yes, and I don't really see a problem either way. I'd be hesitant to put grey tiles in a bathroom though. In a bathroom you want it bright, so light tiles. It also feels more closed in with grey tiles IMHO. But it's all down to what you like in the end. If I didn't find anything I liked I'd want to stall - you're going to live with the result for decades. A few months of wait is small by comparison. Don't rule out buying from abroad.

I put dark slate effect tiles on the floor, a row of black tiles at the
bottom and white in the same pattern on the walls:
