Choosing wall tiles
Wall tiles do not carry foot traffic, so you can use lighter tiles, gloss glazes and delicate mosaics that would not suit a floor. The main decisions are size, finish and how the tile meets edges, niches and windows.
- 300x600mm: the classic bathroom wall tile. Laid vertically it makes a room feel taller. See 300x600mm tiles.
- Subway: slim rectangles in brick bond, stack or herringbone. See subway tiles.
- Mosaics and feature tiles: for a niche, splashback or the wall behind the vanity. See feature wall tiles.
- Height: floor to ceiling looks clean in small rooms; tiling to about 1200mm with paint above suits period homes with high ceilings.

Buying help
Can wall tiles be used on floors?
Not always. Many wall tiles are not rated for foot traffic or wet floors. Choose a floor rated porcelain for the floor.
Should I tile bathroom walls floor to ceiling?
In small bathrooms and showers it looks clean and is easy to wipe down. In high ceilinged period homes, tiling to about 1200mm with paint above is a classic alternative.
Which way should 300x600mm wall tiles go?
Vertically makes a room feel taller, horizontally makes it feel wider. Your tiler will also plan cuts around windows and niches.
