Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Nov 08, 2009 7:00 am Husband came back from a business trip and said one place he stayed in had black tiles with white grout and looked amazing! My ideas for the bathrooms have centred around pale tiles with light natural stoney colour highlights. While I can see black and white would be dramatic, and think it could work as a feature wall, I have some practical concerns - fingermarks, calcium deposits and mould. These metallic tiles look great and although I thought I liked them more for exteriors and kitchen splashes they are starting to grow on me for the bathroom. They would defintely help hide fingermarks and calcium deposits, and you could put grey grout with them too. Has anyone seen black tiles used effectively and practically in a bathroom?

I think I'll work out which walls to do in black so that when we go to the tilers, if there's something there in black we like we know what to do with it. Mmmm... can I actually put this idea into action given our bathroom layouts? Thanks for the great ideas - plenty to think about! Kylie The warning is on the sticker on the door too.
