Help with bathroom feature tile

Page 1 of 1
Hi
I need some help & pics for my bathroom feature tile please! I have chosen the below tile with grey bench top & white cupboards. My problem is I would like the feature as a vertical strip ( not horizontal like the pic ).
Does any one have suggestions on where to put the strip? 1 behind the basin OR 2 strips, 1 towards each end of the benchtop? The white tile will be laid horizontal (not vertical) also.
Any pictures and suggestions would be a massive help! Thankyou
Ok, so this really is a personal thing. It is up to you how you would feel about this feature tile. Here's a few things to consider though:

1. How wide is it compared to the other tiles? The one shown in the photo might feel a bit skinny if it was run vertically.
2. If you centre it, make sure it is exactly centred. If it is a bit off it will drive you nuts forever.
3. If you want to put it off centre, make sure it is something like 1/3rd off centre so it is obvious that it is not supposed to be in the middle.
4. Another option would be in the corner.
5. Do you want it to run past the vanity or run into the vanity? This might lead to different location choices.
6. Is there a logical place for it where it divides the room into different parts - say next to the vanity?

There is quite a bit to play with here. Sorry That I am not giving you a definitive answer but something like this does come down to personal preference.

Good luck with it!

Cheers, Jenny.
