Am I crazy using a dark floor?

11 years ago

I am thinking of using a dark tile on the floor of our master bath remodel. The bottom tile would be the floor. The tile on the top would be the walk-in shower and the siltstone on the vanity top. The cabinets will be a creamy white with a gray glaze. Want to keep the look more of a glitter gregge and not brown. Opinions?

My concern is that it feels like a busy dark tile with a busy lighter tile & a busy counter. Although it's hard to tell from only one tile of the lighter one.

Start back with your favorite (one of the tiles of the counter). If it's busy, then the rest should be quieter, less pattern, less color variation.

Does that make sense?

I agree with Carol- you have 3 busy patterns going on, I would use a plain tile somewhere.

I would use the same dark tile for the floor + the shower. And the stiltstone for the vanity top..

Our main bathroom, recently renovated, has dark tile floors and I'm so glad I went with them as opposed to a lighter colour. As well as looking good (I think so anyway) for some reason it makes the room look larger. We also have one wall of our walk in shower..no glass..in the same dark tile. One thing I would mention, that in the shower recess, the dark floor tiles tend to show water scale/lime more prominently than the lighter wall tile. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the comments. The Quartz countertop is my favorite piece and I like the floor with it. I think the wall tile is my stumbling block or maybe I should just start over!
