What grout do you suggest for bathroom floor and wall tiles – Mapei or Bostik? And we’re looking for a gray, similar to these photos. Does anyone know what color this could be? And while we’re at it…What do think of using the large subway wall tile with the octagon dot floor tile 🙂 Thanks!

Interesting that you note Mapie or Bostik; in my recent two renovations the tile pros suggested Laticrete or Tec grout. But we did an oversize subway tile wall with similar gray grout — it was Laticrete “smoke gray” (and we have a black and white basketweave floor).

I like the large subway wall tile with the narrow grout lines, but I don’t think it goes well with the floor choice. The former is more modern, the latter more traditional.

I have large hex tile in my half bath and I’m not a fan. It just doesn’t feel warm or elegant. What about a penny tile to go with the subway tile? Or a small marble hex tile?

nyc_sport – Thanks for those names. I will look into Latricrete and Tec. I was only asking about Mapei and Bostik because Classic Tile sells Bostik, and I read about Mapei somewhere. Would you be able to post a photo of your bath showing the basket weave and large subway tiles? Cate / no-permits – I hear what you’re saying. I wish there were more photos on pinterest etc with floor / wall combinations but I haven’t been able to find anything. bedstuyreno – YES! I saw a photo (but can’t find it now) of a sea green-ish penny tile on the floor with large white subway tiles on wall, and it’s a beautiful combination. I would love love love this. However, I think it would only work with white grout, and I don’t have the patience anymore to deal with that. Hence the gray grout being a priority and trying to find something that fits that. I’m looking for something that doesn’t have the “it just looks dirty” look. If someone has an example of penny tile on the floor with large white subway tiles on the wall AND gray grout, please post! I also love the royal blue penny tile, but I can’t figure out wall tile would work with it – bight white doesn’t look right, to me.

Ooh, per bedstuyreno’s suggestion, small marble hex tile could look spectacular with the large subway tile. It has gray in it so you could use gray grout.

I think you could do something really nice with a small brick pattern on the floor that’ll play off the large brick pattern on the wall. You could even do a decorative border or one of those “floor mats,” say in front on the vanity to add some variety, or use two floor tile sizes but keep it all the brick pattern. There are a ton of white tiles at Build It Green in Brooklyn.

I love the small marble hex tile, and we were very close to going for that. But then I backed out much to my spouse’s dismay, bc I was worried about the maintenance (I guess it needs to be sealed to keep looking nice). Unless someone who has it can convince me it’s a breeze to maintain, I could be swayed…
