If it is on the walls only, any height that looks good. Keep in mind the placement of switches, outlets and towel bars. If it is for a tub surround, it is preferable to go right to the ceiling and, If you are handy, you can tile the ceiling as well.
Mine goes to the ceiling in the tub and backsplash high around the rest of the room.. Looks great and extremely functional.
Hello Chudson210, my suggestion would be to install the tile on the wall outside of the shower area at least up to 36“ and then cap it off with a nice chair rail. I would not go any higher because then you will run the risk of having your residential bathroom space look more like a commercial bathroom space.
When I do a bathroom, I usually tile about a foot above the sink area so there is a backsplash. If your sink is the height of a kitchen counter, about 36", then I'd go up about four feet. In one bathroom, I had to go higher because of switches. Also, if you have a shower area, you'll need to go higher. In my shower areas, I never go all the way to the ceiling.
