Most of my bathroom is tiled... the floor, the whole walls in the shower, and the walls up to about 4' high elsewhere. Above that is either cabinets or wallpaper. Lots of bathrooms here are only tiled to a certain height outside of the shower or are totally untiled outside of the shower.

Many are tiled, some are linoluem, some are laminate, etc. I've even seen some with carpet! Gasp!
(speaking only of the floor here)

Tiling is very expensive, plastic shower surround and a gallon of semi-gloss is not. That pretty much sums up the bathroom choice in the U.S.
I tiled my bathroom floor, and all walls approx. 4' up. I spent about $1000 on tile and supplies for a 5'x10' bathroom. The single white wall tiles weren't too bad, but the 4" decorative tiles were $5 each!
A plastic shower surround and a gallon of paint would have set me back about $120.

As far as walls go, I would say most home bathrooms I've seen are not tiled.

That's what I noticed when we were over last time. I also remember my uncle and aunt had one of those baths that also have a backwall etc. integrated. You don't see those here.
Indeed, my house would have also been tiled until a certain height normally. Above that it would be "spray" stuff, don't know the word, sort of chalk like stuff, speckle like. I payed a bit extra to get tiles up to the ceiling. It's not expensive tiles though, pretty simple. When you build 100 houses at one time, the tiles get pretty cheap ;)
