I like this tile as well. Very sleek and mod looking. I would consider running it vertically instead of the picture horizontal pattern. It might give the illusion of more height in the shower surround. The color is great. If you are worried about it being "too much," you could always see if they have the same tile in a different shade and mix the two or doing one wall in a contrasting (lighter) color. I personally like it as long as you have good lighting.

Thank you roj leather and Simon for your recommendations. I like the hanging chair and the almanda creeper on the wall. This will certainly liven up the patio.

Hi, here are some potential ideas!... sounds like you have an exciting project! I cannot wait to see the sandstone sculptures and walkway you create. 1. straight pathway with stones [houzz=] 2. retangular pathway with stones [houzz=] 3. staggered pathway with stones [houzz=] 4. squared offline pathway with square walkway pads [houzz=] This is from and idea book I created on my page. See more in Landscape Ideas, my page.

Right now there does not seem to be any symmetry on the path to your door. I would either eliminate the small trees that are there now, and replace them with bushes or shrubs that are equal in height and width, or cut these back and shape them dramatically, so that you have a clear vision to the door. Second, if you could change out the door, eliminating the side window, that's another idea. Sometimes just replacing your front door with one that is bold in color or style is enough to breathe some life into the front of the house. You could also either replace the concrete with pavers or paint the concrete with stain of a color that blends well with with nature.. like a lighter gray or a brown.
