What’s with the bathroom tiles in Germany?



Almost every time I searched for apartments or houses I have seen at least a couple of bathrooms using this type of tile.

To me at least this is just the absolute ugliest type of tile I've ever seen, why is it used so much in Germany?

I've seen it even in new apartments or houses. There are so many better looking tiles to choose from.

No hate at all or anything, just curious.

Thank you

  1. I always wondered why not the entire wall covered with the ceramic, I’m sure the humidity and steam will wreak havoc on this bare wall within two seasons.
    I mean if you’re going with soviet ceramic for cost, might as well finish the job at least…

  2. I don’t understand your post. Iv lived in the UK to NZ and I’m lucky if I had tiles. I think it’d literally what people could afford.

    You have seen nothing. Look for “Badezimmer 70er Jahre” to see true horrors in green, orange and brown.
