Draw the tile-effect panel joints before choosing a pattern

Travertine-effect panels define the shower in our Bucksburn bathroom, with Carrara-effect panels elsewhere and pale custom units beside the basin. Different printed stones can give neighbouring areas a distinct role. The precise position of each panel joint matters because a joint can interrupt a vein, particularly where the light or the glass makes the wall easy to see.

When planning a similar bathroom, ask how the selected sheets will be arranged across the actual walls. Find out whether the pattern repeats, which sheets are available and where the joints will sit in relation to the enclosure and fittings. Review a full panel image where available. A neat junction and a convincing pattern repeat are different decisions. Considering them together helps the two finishes look purposeful across the whole room.
