Default Tiling my bathroom

Hello, newbee here.

I'm tiling my bathroom and have some experiance tiling, (well.. two weeks at a training centre and 5 jobs), i'm after some advice about which tiles to go for. The bathroom is pretty small(1770x1800), should i go for light shiny tiles to make it look light or light matt tiles, should i go for big or small tiles? I'm eying up the podova 80 range 310x450.
Any opinions or advice is greatly received.
Thank you
Ffswisstony

I've just tiled a very small bathroom in great big 635mm x 315mm tiles, mat finish and brick bonded them. It's amazing how the room looks so much larger. Pain in the backside to cu the tiles though!!!

Hi all. Just recently finished my first bathroom and seemed to go well. Just wondered if you would like to cast any criticisms on it. You can find pics on Tilers Forums members Galleries under Keith. Would appreciate anything . Cheers.
