I decoration is a personal thing but do you think that tiling a bathroom in all white tiles (30cm x 60cm) with dark grey, near black floor tile would look ok?
It's only a small bathroom, about 7ft sq.
I'm hesitant to put a mosaic tile trim around the edges because that looks a bit out of date.
Thanks.

Same size bathroom, we went straight to black floor tiles without trim.
Stagger the tiles like brickwork, don't do them like a spreadsheet.

This one I did earlier, difficult to get a good image without a wide

Black and white is OK
Your look will appear dated the moment your wife reads the next interior
decoration magazine. So don't worry.
Am I the only one who rather LIKED avocado?

Yep, tho I wouldnt personally do it because all white would show dirt
easily.

Yeah, all white is likely to age better, less likely to look dated.

I'm pretty certain there was a lot of confusion at that time between
avocado and pampas. I had a pampas bathroom in my first house, yet a
number of visitors referred to the "avocado" suite in the bathroom.

FWIW I liked pampas as a colour. Not so much avocado, but it wasn't as
bad as it was made out to be. I've little doubt it became a dislike
bandwagon for people to jump on...

Thanks.

A lot of sunlight hits floors, making a black floor not so good. Also black is terrible for showing up dirt, and dirt does of course settle on floors mostly.

I misread it as 7 sq ft, was thinking that was a bit small

except that all the bathrooms I see on Homes under the hammer post-refit
seem to have a common theme. Strange grey floor and wall tiles mostly
fitted like a spreadsheet

Ah, a £299 saturday morning 'special' bog at the BM's.

Some estate agents would say this is only suitable for the rental
market. :-)

Most people don't know the difference between Avocado and
Pampas Green (a more common 1970's colour).

A more serious problem is the size of the bath. Pampas green baths
will be imperial size and getting a replacement imperial sized bath
is less easy than the metric ones used now.

Always have a mottled coloured floor because it means any dust or
'contamination' will be less obvious.

That's was the problem I had. The original bath was fitted first and
then a cupboard was build at the end of the bath. After a lot of
searching the easiest option in the end was to dismantle and reconstruct
the cupboard to gain a few more centimeters to fit a new bath.
