trim tile in subway tile shower

14 years ago

I am doing a white 3x6 subway tile custom shower floor to ceiling & on ceiling. Will have white hex w/ black hex flowers on floor. Will have black 4x6 cove tiles. Am considering a 3/4 inch black liner a little over 4 feet from floor. Considering band made of 1/2 inch black liners sandwiching 3/4 white liner at same height (cost more but could do if much better).

Any thoughts or advice appreciated! Have to order trim tile soon! Tried to paste pics but didn't work.

Thanks everyone!

Hi,
In my tub surround, I did a double liner and put the ivy vine detail in between.

I just wonder if the thin double pinstripe you propose is going to have much impact over a single line, since it happens in such a small span of height.'
I did a single liner and chair rail elsewhere:
