I think it depends on the tile style, as older styles look great when they are half height and have the right trim. Modern tiles seem to look better when it's fully tiled.

@DampCat Got a chance to have a look at our new build today. Still got a few weeks to go before its ready. I think half tile looks great. Hope these pics help you make a decision either way.

To be fair that is one of the nicer part tiles I've seen.
I think we've decided to full tile the En Suite and Shower Room, then part tile the family bathroom. Gonna be a while before it gets done but at least it's on track.

@coolsurfer very nice bathroom. Towel rail seems a bit close to the sink? (doesn't matter much I imagine).
I still think it would look better fully tiled
The question is.... Bathroom plants... Y/n

@The Craig I think that plant looks great. Definitely keep it. That mirror is pretty nice too! Where can I get one from?
About the towel rail, one of the compromises we made with our house type is that it comes with a small bathroom. Kitchen is absolutely massive. I figure we do most of our living downstairs.

Mirror was from Victoria plum... First one came smashed but they sent out another one no problem (means I've got the innards of another if the electrics go too. It's light up/touch sensored too. Someone on here mentioned they got similar from ebay, not sure if it'll be the same though. )
Fair enough I only have one bathroom

The fully tiled parts look much nicer, great colour scheme though

Thank you. We will have a big custom sized mirror fill the wall behind the sink. Any other un-tiled areas can have some nice picture frames.

See I totally disagree I think the balance betteeen the two makes the room feel bigger and more luxurious. Add a nice mirror and some framed prints and you 'be got a look totally different to the fully tiled public loo!

Very smart actually, and i dont like dark tiles/jazzy lights usually

IMO the better the tiles the more you want.
If you pick super cheapo tiles or ones that are going to date terribly, keep them to as few as possible. The more you spend on the tiles, and/or the better they are, the more of them you want to show.
Mine are all part tiled, downstairs loo, 2x ensuite shower rooms, master bathroom. I will only be tiling the main bathroom fully when I refurb them. The ensuites and loo are just do what you need to and go, although master ensuite i think could possibly get more tiles than it has now. Where as the bathroom I feel will benefit from a whole tile layout, as when we go in there for a bath we want it to be more luxurious. The same logic as getting an expensive bath tub to lay and relax in, as opposed to an expensive shower where i am trying to keep shampoo out of my eyes and will be in and out in around 5 minutes.

On a related note, does anyone have an idea of tiling cost?
I've been quoted £690 to tile around 75% of a 1.8 by 2.5m bathroom. That includes the adhesive and grout but not the tiles or trim.
I reckon it's 2 to 3 days work, so the price is probably about right - agree? South East prices.
