Need help re bathroom tile choice

Hello all,

 

My listing has a small shower room with a white tiled upstand around the shower tray (see photo). I need to have this upstand retiled with thicker porcelain tiles, as the (thin non-porcelain) white tiles keep getting hairline cracks. 

Anyway, my first thought was to tile in the same tiles as the floor, which are thick porcelain. 

But then I asked a friend for their opinion and she said it might be a tripping hazard, as in guests might not 'see' they'd have to step over to walk into the shower area. I can't see it myself, as guests would see the shower curtain hanging behind the upstand, and they'd also see the darker tiles where they'd join the wall, plus they'd see that the glass screen is raised up not floor level.

 

WDYT? Upstand to match the floor fine? or go with a lighter colour tile?

Ciao @Tara0 ,

 

personally I would stay with the same tiles as the floor, I think it would look nicer 😉
