Thanks to everyone who commented on my shower accent tile dilemma – problem solved! Dawna Jones made the suggestion of combining this layout with two horizontal stripes to frame the white tiles:

I love this idea, because I really like the look of vertical stripes, but wondered if there would be too much similar stripeage {I made that word up} with the floor tiles. Combining vertical & horizontal stripes is the perfect solution :-)
I did some mock-ups using Dawna’s suggestion and creating slightly different layouts. The narrower wall on the left is the end wall and will have two niches tiled in the blue accent tiles and the faucets in between the niches. The wider wall on the right will have the body jets which will probably be positioned to the right of the stripe. What I love about this idea is that the shorter tiles on each side of the end wall are repeated on the long wall, which balances things out.
LAYOUT 1
LAYOUT 2 
LAYOUT 3
LAYOUT 4
LAYOUT 5
I love how putting design dilemmas out there to share with my blog friends can turn a dilemma into a solution :-) So feel free to let me know which of these five layouts you like best! Thanks again Dawna for the suggestion :-)
Happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteDawna has come up with a great solution - any of those layouts has wow factor !!
ReplyDeleteNumber 4 has a great balanced and grounded look. Good luck with your decision.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your thoughts on the layouts, Wendy :-) Do you have a blog? Your comment links to your Google + page, but I don't see a link to a blog there.

Wow It looks awesome Kelly and I agree with Wendy #4 looks balanced when you see it with the other wall! Good luck and can't wait to see the end result.
ReplyDeleteLayout number 4 is the one that works best for me :-)
ReplyDeleteNow hurry up and finish the bathroom!! LOL!

Well now, I'm just catching up, and weighed in on the last post! So for this one my favorite option is layout 4 - I love the continuation of the lines. Can't wait to see what you do!

ReplyDeleteHi, Kelly. Sorry for the delay!
ReplyDeleteOk - personally, I like #3 the best. It feels the least complicated and I'm drawn to that. And, I'm trying to consider the fact that you will probably have more of the accent/mosaic tile in your backsplash. With all the materials going on, I would tend to lean towards a simpler design.
However - that's not to say that some of the other designs wouldn't look cool. After #3, I'm with most of the other commenters that #4 could work well. But I do have one more thought....What if you varied the line thickness for the horizontal tile "stripes"? Make them thinner? Or maybe did a double line...basically eliminate the interior few rows of tile on the horizontal/ It just feels a little chunky to me, if that makes sense. If not, let me know. ;)
(Are you sorry you asked now? lol)
