The tiles should be fine, just don’t go dropping the iron on them.

I would not use anything else all black if your floor will be black tile. Black tile looks different from black natural stone. Only use the black as an accent in the bathroom wall and shower floors.

If you are picking tile for the floor go bigger than 12×12, and lay it diagonally: makes the room seem bigger and any border variations in outlines will not be noticable. I have done several homes now with diagonal layout and everyone just loves it

Mosaic is in style now but I would use it as an accent so it does not get dated too soon.

Tavertine is always a classic and not too expensive and comes with trim and various patterns of mosaic strips.It stands well to abuse of water. scale, and soap.It also needs to be sealed but it does not get stained like marble and granite.

I loved a look I saw in a bathroom where the shower had
part of the surrounding wall done in several shades of narrow mosaic (small rectangle cut tavertine) like rain, darker at the top fading to lighter (makes room look bigge since eye is atracted tohigher pattern)

You could combine black and honey (honey is my favorite "neutral" color for today)in diffrent shades of black/grey/honey mosaic tile to get the rain effect, then finish the bottom with a honey colored tavertine.

for the shower floor use a small pattern tile same as floor.

Tavertine and slate look great together. check if you have access to natural slate tile which gose with black and honey. With slate, as with any other surface in a BA, you should check for slipping on wet surface and how rough the surface is for bare feet. Tavertine floors, and slate shower would look great. Slate on the BA floor may be too rough.

In a small BA with a black vanity, I would not put too much more dark shades in there. else it looks too dark.

I did a bath in dark chocolate/honey and white – everyone loved it. if you can use white in your BA – that is a good contrast color. For a sleek modern look you should not have too many colors else it’s 50′s or 70′s LSD.

The fewer dominant colors you put into the long term items (tile) you can change the look be changing accessories.
Black-honey-(off)white is very classic and neutral, you can add any colors to that.

Including,

Not properly preparing the surface before Marble Tile Installation:

This is something that could cost the entire job. However, for the sake of proving a point we will ume the best case scenario. Let’s ume there were no problems with the actual “surface” itself. Although, it wasn’t properly cleaned resulting in loose Marble tiles. Furthermore, we will ume this was a fairly small tile job resulting in the following losses: half a bag of grout, only 2 chipped tiles and half a bag of thin-set. Modest estimate = $22.00

Not cleaning the grout from marble correctly:

you may not even notice the mess until the next day. One minute you have a nicely done grout job and the next minute you notice smudges all over your beautiful Marble Floor or Wall! Hiring someone to clean this mess could cost a fortune. However, let’s be modest and ume all it needs is a good buffing. Cost to rent buffer = $40.00 Mistakes Cutting Marble tiles,

Breaking or chipping more than 3 Marble Tiles:

count yourself lucky if you don’t have any knowledge about cutting marble and you only Break or chip Just 3 Pieces = $18.00

Laying Out Your Marble Tile Incorrectly:

Of course this one problem alone could cost the entire job. However since we’re trying to make a point, let’s ume the best case scenario. So, your job is off course causing a small curve in your floor. Nothing a small grinder can’t fix. We will even take it a step further and ume the curve only stretched out 6 feet resulting in only 12 ruined tiles and a hand full of grout. $60.00 Yes Mistakes With Marble Installation Are Very Costly!

Randy,

I want to say thanks for the learning videos that you created. A short

while ago, I had the opportunity to pick up some marble for $1 a tile. I

had always wanted to put tile the bathrooms in my house, and after months

of the tile sitting in my garage – I was ready to install. However, I had

only installed ceramic tile once with the help of a friend who knew what

he was doing.

I was made aware when I got the tile that installing marble was different

than ceramic.

Even though I was ready to install the tile, I really didn’t know what I

was doing and was unsure of where to start, how to prep, layout tile, make

cuts, etc…

After watching your video’s, all my questions were answered. I learned

some things that I didn’t even think I needed to know.

Thanks,
