One Day

My first reaction seeing the picture and I usually trust my first thought on aesthetics.
Think about things like this too long and I end up confusing myself!

Most shower screens are under 2 metres and assuming that the ceiling height is at least 2.4M, you’ll see the transition between riven and smooth above the shower screen on the left hand wall, so the right hand wall should be the same. The small amount of smooth tile against the architrave won’t even be noticeable.

If the wall tiles are smooth next to them, then smooth, or am I missing something.
Why have you not tanked the patches , that’s a failure going to happen right there,water will penetrate them areas, tiles will fall off and the world will end.

dear mac, if the bathroom was mine
I would have come out with smooth tiles on the other side as well.
I know it may seem strange, but I'm doing one hour.
otherwise it was better to cut both sides flush with the shower.
this work I have to do what the architect says ... :(
creates only problems, 90cm tiles and 90cm shower,
he made me put 15cm in the corner to get out of the shower,
the other side is like yours, by 15 cm strip out of the shower

That’s exactly where I’m coming from

All that money and they choose tiles like that.... some folk have no taste.

Done too many of these split faced ceramics that the look really does bore me now. Plus side is they’re porcelanosa and they’re spot on to work with.
The shower cost a fortune. 3 spray settings so 3 different sets of nozzles to same head with 3 feeds going into it and another for the microphone shower.
Stop **** is where the toilet with concealed cistern is going to be so that’s my next headache.

I suggested we use the smooth tiles on the large sill as the riven will be a muck trap and more prone to chipping. Needed 4 and only had 4 so decision made.

Got the concealed cistern fitted, moved and replaced stop **** and sorted access and finished the tiling
