Frequently Asked Questions About Decorating a Bathroom
How High Should Tile be on a Bathroom Walls?
Ideally, wall tile that goes up to the ceiling is the perfect options.

You don’t have to go with this exact number, instead, you can adjust based on the size of tile that you will use, as long as they are above 70 inch. For example, if you are planning to use 8 x 16 tiles and lay it horizontally, than by arrange 9 tiles on the wall you can get 72 inches height that is above the minimum 70 inches.
