The designs and tiles you can choose for your project might make your head spin! I always advise finding some pictures online or perhaps a single element that you really like and go from there. Sometimes, a client goes further from that and hands me a photo and says, “Do this!”
A couple months ago I had a client talk to me that had seen one of my showers that I called the “Walden Shower”. They liked it so much that they told me to recreate it in their bathroom!
Both of these showers feature tile from Florim called Afrika-Cairo in various sizes. The main distinguishing feature is the large accent band that is made up of 2×2 tiles surrounding 6×6 tile installed diagonally.

And the Walden Shower gallery that was the inspiration: http://inspiredremodeling.com/projects/amazing-shower-with-invisible-drain/
A couple years I had similar experience when a client showed me photos of a shower display at the Tile Shop in Greenwood and told me she wanted an exact copy. This was a fun one with lots of interesting slate tiles. Here’s the gallery for this one: http://inspiredremodeling.com/projects/stunning-slate-shower/
Who says you have to be original? Just find one you like and copy it!
