KMS Woodworks on Apr 02, 2013I have done this both ways...matching or something different. I'm wondering however about that really big window...wood trim around windows in a shower is hard to keep up. One trick to help in that area is to paint the backs of the trim brfore you install. These helps with moisture penetration.Helpful Reply

BulkHomeBuyers on Apr 03, 2013As for the window trim. Use PVC trim. A bit bore expensive but 100% waterproof. IF it is not going to be white, prime with a shellac based primer and paint it any color you want.Helpful Reply

Gail Salminen on Apr 03, 2013@Beth O'Brien the window advice above is good. We once had a window in a shower with builder grade materials and it rotted in no time :P As for the tile, I am not an expert, but I seem to remember from a number of years ago when we were doing our foyer that the floor tile is thicker than the wall tile, but a lot of times they make the tile in both grades. You might also consider coordinating tiles, one for the walls the other for the floor, both complimenting each other. Thanks for posting.Helpful Reply

Designs by BSB on Apr 04, 2013Without question, for small spaces the rule of less is more! Add color or interest with small elements such as towels or artwork. If you want to change up the tile a little, maybe change the direction or pattern - but I would recommend the two tiles be really close in color.Helpful Reply

Diana Deiley on Dec 23, 2015White would keep the space looking clean and bright. Adding a simple pop of color (your favorite) will bring it all together. Wonderful job. p.s. Great advice on the pvc window material. Real expert advice is priceless.Helpful Reply
