border tiles in bathroom

DannyC77

Hi,

Where would u say is the best place to have border tiles if you are tiling up to the ceiling around a bath? Eye level?? or lower as we are fitting a shower with all the parts exposed not hidden? or is it personal choice??

Ta!

The shower may be in the way of the border that was why i mentioned it!

I always used to set them out in the area of 1000mm - 1200mm from floor height, but this need to correspond with wimdows etc.

Technically a border tile is a dado and dado's were originally fitted in rooms to stop the backs of dining chairs scuffing the wallpaper.

However in a bathroom because of the fitted furniture this often looks a bit odd.

If there a lot going on on the room, bath shower, fitted furniture I'd be tempted to put something in a picture rail height, generally around 300mm to 450mm below ceiling height on a standard 2.4m ceiling.

Or make life (& bathroom) simpler & don't bother.

Put it just above or below the windowsill.

I'd put it just below window level myself, although I have seen them at "Picture Rail" level, and they look OK too.
