Green Ceramic Shower Walls

Two showers in soft green. One has sage-colored square tile with a hand-made look and warm brass fixtures. The other has pale seafoam squares on the walls over a black square floor tile with a strong contrast.

What to look at

Hand-made-look tiles vary in shade and size, so they are mixed from several boxes before they go on the wall, and joints are kept slightly wider to absorb the variation. The brass valve trim sits flush on a tile cut precisely around it. In the second shower, the black floor tile and the pale walls are separated by a straight line where the pan meets the wall.

How work like this is set

With ceramic or glass wall tile, small differences in tile size add up across a wall. We mix boxes, keep the joints consistent and check the lines every few rows. Outside corners are finished with a trim piece or a mitered edge, and the niche and the valve are set on whole tiles wherever possible so the cuts are not the first thing you see.

If you want something similar

If you want a shower like this, start with the structure: the pan, the curb and the walls behind the tile. Then choose the tile, the niche location and the fixtures. Send photos of your shower and approximate size and we will tell you what the job involves. We work in Long Beach and nearby, and the matching service is Bathroom & Shower Tile.
