Tiling a small bathroom with those large rectangular tiles.
Should they go right to the floor with no skirting board, or on top of a skirting board?
We can't agree on this. Just wondered what opinion was here.
Cheers.
What age and style is the house? I'm just doing the bathroom in my 30s terrace, and will leave the skirtings in to match the rest of the house.

I didn't put the large rectangular tiles in my small bathroom because they seemed out of proportion. I decided that the smaller 150mm X
150mm made the room look more spacious. I put these to the top of the skirting board partly because I couldn't be bothered taking it off and also because the skirting board is a buffer zone of a quality that wall tiles wouldn't usually provide.
In my last house, I put skirting boards over the tiles at the bottom and coving over the tiles at the top. It looked surprisingly good.

Just a 70's georgian semi. Nothing special and the usual door surround type skirting.
Wrong tiles does come to mind. When you are in the showroom, they look so nice. :((
I wouldn't have wooden skirting in a "small" bathroom for practical reasons. I also think it looks wrong because it isn't practical.
I'd say wall tiles going to the floor likely to get broken far too easily.
What sort of flooring are you having? In a wet room tiling all over would look ok, but if using say a wood floor etc skirting of a suitable size should look fine.
The message from EricP contains these words:
Ah - you see, that's where you've gone wrong to start with!
"Practical reasons" What might they be then .?

What's the floor made of? IMO if it's board, carpet, laminate or WHY then skirtings look better.
What's that?
Architrave?
You obviously don't live in one or you would immediately know what I meant.
About 1"x 2.5" with a rounded edge on one side. The sheds sell it by the mile, absolute rubbish.
I had won on no skirting. Now you've started it off again with coving added!!!!

Depends on who the other half of the we is! In my case I would just do what SWMBO said.

So I am beginning to think. :(((
Trouble is we have a garage full of them.
Ho-hum
Ok people, thanks for the input but we are still going around in circles.
(And that McArdle blokey just bunged coving in to add to the jollity) :))
We must consider it on a different basis.
Thanks everyone. :))
