Paint or tile bathroom walls?

Flamingo_2

Thank you all so much for your input and advice.
Just to let you know, we already have an extractor fan (but it needs a clean!!) so that's one less hassle.
I've just had the plumber round for a quote - should ahve it tomorrow and he's going to quote for both tiles and paint. I still need to make a decision, guess it will depend on the price difference
Thanks again

Just me that doesn't like the all tiles thing then!

I wondered why so many people have it when it looks so bad! (in my opinion!)

have to paint the ceiling,and
door frame in the future,makes
it very low matinence.

I'm sure it does rosekitten.

I feel the same way about built in wardrobes.

we are tiling to dado height all around the room and painting above, and tiling full height around the shower- I think all tiles looks a bit hard and cold, plus i can change the paint colour very easily if i get bored

That's what mine's like, large bumpy white tiles and wallpapered. I don't have an extractor but have never had a condensation problem (it is a large room and tend to keep the window open) I like the knowledge that I can transform the whole scheme with a tin of paint.

We are fully tiled in all bathrooms too, with good extractor fans.

Still looks good 20 years on.

Just fully tiled mine and looks a lot better than the half tile and half bathroom paper I used to have.
But also cost a damn sight more, I've got no intention of doing anything other than touching up the small amount of woodwork before I move house and no plans to do that anytime soon.
