We have a new addition and we are going to be finishing a bathroom, and we know we want 12″ tiles on the floor and either subway or 6 inch tiles half way up the walls.
Here is where it gets difficult. We were going with a earthy looking ceramic glazed tile. But when we went to our tile store they were having a killer sale on their marble tile.
What is the upkeep difference between the two? These are going to be in the shower as well.
Any advice you can give a first time DIY’r (who will probably hire a pro)

Marble will need a sealer applied before use and periodically after wards. Installation is a little more involved, but if your going to hire that part they should know what to do and give care recommendations for the type of stone. Other than the resealing get the look you prefer, as your the one that needs to be happy with it when it is all done.
Personally, I think the subway tile is way over done these days and the stone will have a more high end look.
