Tiling a bathroom

Hope someone can help please.

Retiling a bathroom with tiles just going halfway up the wall all the way round except shower cubicle.

Problem is the shower which is in a corner of the bathroom. Should we tile right to the ceiling or should we tile just to the top of the shower cubicle? If we tile just to the top of the shower cubicle the shower head which is above the shower cubicle will just be on the wall on not on any tiles.

Hope this make sense.

Thanks

    You will probably get better responses posting on the DIY board :)

    Just my 2d worth, I would tile to the ceiling, as the steam and spray rising from the shower could lead to mould on the non-tiled bit of wall.
    The tiles above the shower can be easily be wiped down.

    I would tile right to the ceiling on both sides, for the whole wall if a short length.
