Why not go diagonal above and below the center accent?

Neither. 3 tiles and 4 "patterns" looks busy to me.
Whatever you (she) choose, I'm sure it will come out as well as your kitchen did.

I prefer the staggered tiles to the square look. With the sguared pattern, there are vertical lines that don't match up with the lines below.

I have designed and built many showers, for what its worth
on the 45 looks great above and below, more work and more materials,
if not 45, brick lay looks best. both top and bottom, keep it simple

Yes, another plea for simplicity. Busy tile is dog meat tile. Chicago is a tile town; it's all I see. There's lots of ways to do it that are downright brilliant. Using gilded designer trimmers is not one of them.

little bit of drift - I am having(trying) a bath done right now. We have fired three tile layers, one plumber and two framers. The problem is we thought out of the box.
Not one tradesperson in this area had ever heard of a 1/4 radius on ceramic tile!!
It nearly caused a riot when I specified a 54" drop in tub!
They, every tile setter, refused to lay tile over wet set electric heating mats! That must be a three step process, contrary to mfg's specs!
Grout lines smaller than 3/64" will cause blindness!
etc...........
I made a decision to not do all the work on this project and have learned that was a poor decision. If I get some extra time I'll post some photos.
We wanted and demanded simple and got heart burn.

I would just like to say that I'm against people posting pointless posts to pad post numbers.

John,
If a future buyer doesn't like it, he or she can always change it. So what if others don't like it - they aren't the one's who're living there. It's your house and you're the one that's going to have to live with it and look at it every day. If you and your frau like one of those two designs, go for the one you like the most.
ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!
Mike

Yep,
Understood that; that's why I gave him mine for whichever column he wants to assign it to.

No offense taken at all. The opinions got me thinking and plans have changed. I can tell you this; for her and I to come to a conclusion that we both agree upon, it's a big thing.
Now, would I tell her I'm coming here to ask for opinions?.....hell no. I appreciate the support and opinions I get here but on my home front they remain incognito. Otherwise, she would nail me as being influenced by others every time we have a disagreement.
We're moving slowly forward.
