Agree with statements above. If you've still unsure about wood keep in mind they make tile that mimics wood as well. No need to worry about warping or cleaning mistakes and gives you the look you desire.

Wood for sure. We're coastal with wood. No problems so far. Antique, rustic, distressed or recycled works best for us. Nothing dark or shiny.
