We have black and white where you have grey and white but might be nice, not sure... just a thought It is a black tile but has the textured lines through it so it has a bit a shine to it. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ oh oh oh!! That is just the sort of thing I was wondering about!! thank you! Do you know if it comes in white or silver rather than black? But maybe I should think about black too... A few people have mentioned it... As for the mosaics and grout, I realised when I wrote grot people might have thought I misspelt grout! What I meant was, does it get dirty a lot with the mosaics, I have a fear of mould and stuff (also I confess I am a terrible cleaner... ). But back to your feature tile, where did you get it from do you mind I ask? I know you are in Vic, but maybe there will be the same franchise here.... Getting excited!!!

Some mosaics are not squares or rectangles but long strips with very little space between so not much grout at all. Random lengths and widths. Be brave and don't go plain. 600x300mm. Long strips sound like a goer too, yeah, not so keen on all the grot and grout. As for being brave - yes, that is what I want to do!! I have been umming and aaahing about it for weeks, then when I saw it today I thought it definitely needed something. And seeing Rocketship's stuff recently has given me a little perk of courage. Funny, I took my friend there this afternoon (she is building around the corner). Her style is much more traditional... she was saying to keep to the plain white. When she saw our granite tiles in the ensuite she said "oh wow, crazy tiles!" which I took as a compliment until I started thinking about it later... We have done some rather unconventional things with our house. (I also realised looking at other photos tonight that most people change the tile in the corner of the room or shower, not where the actual shower glass meets the wall as we have done. Oh well, our bathrooms will definitely be, um, unique!).

I love the Decoglaze stuff. I would have loved a glass bathroom. (We are having glass splashback in the kitchen - maybe green if I am brave enough). Seeing this pic below almost makes me brave enough to do a splash of colour in the bathroom....

They do patterned glass which you could get a piece for the niche.
