Your preferrred tiles - Tile Advice

If you had a large empty bathroom with walk in shower & your customer asked you to choose for them, what tiles would you go for walls & floor? Opinions please

I would personally steer towards a safe, neutral theme like greys. Probably 60x30 grey porcelain on walls with either a slightly darker 60x60 on the floor (or bigger). A nice encaustic looking art deco style floor would be my personal choice, but I would keep it safe and go with a dark grey

Porcelanosa 90x30 Marmol Carrera Blanco ceramics (not porcelain) for the walls.
Porcelanosa 80x80 rectified porcelain for the floor. Something in a dark grey.

Greys are so now!
Got to be something Timeless like a quality travertine with a feature panel of split faced slate.

I would go grey 600x600 floor tiles and have large format bookmatch tiles on the wall, white with grey .

Grey is the new magnolia.

Wet wall panel and amtico on the floor .

Dorset pimple 6x6 on the floor but just to please the ladies, laid on the 45.

Interesting choices! This particular customer said she doesn't mind what tiles are used. I've encouraged her to have at least some input but she said she's completely over whelmed by choices & to just do what i think will look nice. Her house is Victorian, some lovely original features. Not sure whether to suggest period style or modern. Is this a disaster waiting to happen I wonder?!

I'm going to present a few options to her. Forgot to add to the brief she said anything BUT grey...

If it’s a lovely Victorian house with period features, embrace it. Don’t slap some modern grey porcelain in and a back to the wall toilet. Traditional all the way.

Any pics of these Tom? Are they a geometric style?

Funny she said anything but grey. She has a grey gloss kitchen. With a stain glass door. Give me strength
