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.

definitely do as Alkari suggests i found it most helpful as the little patch vs the large colour area gives you a much better idea of colour. I put different shades up on different walls and then switch them around so you can see what they look like in different light (natural and artificial)

if you like the glass tiles go for it, but they do tend to show splashes etc a little more than a matt colour tile so it would depend on how much you want to clean them, and of course no matter what type of tile you buy if you have a light coloured grout you spend forever cleaning them and they show up if you don't get in the corners etc with cleaning a lot more than dark coloured grout (can you tell I used to be a hotel house maid?)
