Bamboo Tile
Can I remove part of tile on bathroom wall and accent with more modern tiles in order to save $ on a makeover?
I have this ceramic tile that’s like an off white color with very subtle gold or tan flecks (can’t tell). I don’t want to do brown, I was thinking a nice calming green BUT there are brown accent tiles through out and the entire bathroom from floor to ceiling is tile. this is a diy due to money issues.
What I had planned is doing bamboo floor, remove tiles on wall behinf toilet, sink and in front of toilet leaving tile in shower area only and removing accent tiles and replacing them. I need to replace sink, toilet and mirror, paint, etc.
Does it sound reasonable to do this?
Any suggestions appreciated.
I tile every day of my life, and certainly no one needs walls tiled that aren’t subject to water. Your issue will be the substrate in those areas. I suggest you can assume patching, painting, and definining what is behind the shower, focusing on it, and what might need be done. I don’t think there is a doubt that repairs will be part of the process, no matter the location.
Even in a DIY sense you state a major re-model, and budget concerns being part, since you’re essentially gutting most of the bathroom, you might think of that shower substrate as being maybe the most critical, especially in a long term sense..
