Tiling Advice in a Sloping Ceiling Bathroom

[Tryingit]

Hi.

Excuse my terrible drawing skills! We are having a bathroom fitted in a room with a sloping ceiling, the tiles on the low wall will not be full height. Where this wall meets the sloping walls our fitter has recommended to leave a cut off corner with no tiles on those walls (Option 2 on the attached). We're not sure if we like the idea of this.

Option 1 would be just to fully tile those side walls but would it look strange transitioning from a not fully tiled wall to a fully tiled wall?

Can anyone provide any advice/opinions?

Thanks in advance

I'd go option 1 out of your options.
Out of curiosity, why are you leaving and area under the window, not tiled? is there going to be a boxed in area/shelf.

Personally think I'd run the tiles on all the 'green' plasterboard.

Thanks for your reply.
We've been told the line where the wall meets the ceiling won't be completely straight so they said it would be better to make it a slight curve which means we won't be able to get a neat finish if the tiles went up to the slope.

Sounds like an excuse to me.
I'm sure the plasterer can make it straight.
Just get a spirit level out and draw a line close to the joint all the way along, to see how much the run out is, if you are using large tiles? might not be noticeable anyway.

They will be 600mm wide tiles. Would the edges need to be mitred (sorry not sure if that's the correct term)? Thanks, I will check out the levels tomorrow

Tile up to the ceiling on all walls.

Tile everywhere that's green on the pics. What the tiler is suggesting is just an excuse. I suspect that when he priced he didn't look too closely and now can't be bothered to spend the extra time in cutting tiles accurately.
