    DIY tiling - work in progress

    I wouldn't recommend that method, either. It took nerves of steel, a lot of deep breaths, and some very nimble work with the grinder.

    Nomadic, those wall tiles are 150 x 75 gloss. I'm not really guided by what is 'modern'. Wait till you see the pastel green toilet that will be going in the room and you'll see what I mean.
