A tile pattern will share its wall with the shower hardware. This Bridge of Don room pairs white metro tiles laid in herringbone with dark shower fittings and a black towel radiator. The fitted basin cupboards bring everyday storage into the same room.
We mark the valve and outlet centres on the herringbone drawing before choosing where the pattern starts. Compare where a diagonal joint meets the control trim and whether a small cut would be conspicuous beside the edge of the glass. It helps to review the view from inside the shower as well as through the glass. A small shift in the first row can change what you see behind the fittings.
