Tiles

[girlyswot]

I'm choosing bathroom tiles at the moment (wall not floor). Does anyone have any experience of glass tiles like these? I think they look like they might be rather beautiful, but I wonder if there are any downsides?

Any other suggestions for tiles? I'm planning to have the walls painted a pale duck egg blue, with tongue and groove panelling a slightly darker shade below. White bathroom suite and white (or off-white) woodwork.

I don't have any experience with glass tiles, but I don't think you should buy them without visiting a shop and see a test tiling. So the tiling will be behind the sink and in the shower/tub area? I would suggest plain white tiles... It goes well with the colours you have chosen, and if you in a few years decide you want to change colours, white goes with anything. There are several kinds of white tiles to choose from, any size from 2x2 cm mosaic to 30x60 cm. All this talk about white tiles probably tells what I think might be the downside to those cool glass tiles - they might not be as easy to combine with anything else?

I'm not buying anything without looking. The plan is to choose things I'll still love in 30 years time. White tiles I don't even love now. Though maybe mixed with others that could work.
