You need a mosaic of some sort, 2 inch is common as it makes it easier to PITCH the shower for drainage. Do not try to marry marble with porcelain, they will never "match" and the real thing will make the porcelain wall mimic look cheap.

Thank you Jan. I would love a hex, I'm just finding white which doesn't match my tile unfortunately. It looks really white in the picture but it's on the creamy side of white not stark so those white hexagons look really bright next to it. Thanks for sharing I'm not giving up :) Just wish some of these companies would do accent pieces and mosiacs for those that don't want all marble.

How about pebbles? It's great for drainage and some of my clients really like how it feels on the feet.

I wouldn't try matching the cream/off white. I would get a tiny hexagon that matches the veins in the callucutta.

Do it all over the shower. Or do the same tile you have for your wall accent on the floor. Otherwise, you are over decorating the shower.

Sophie Wheeler disagree. I stare at my shower floor basically the entire time I'm showering and am very glad that we picked a beautiful tile.

Also, we have full glass shower doors and no tub. It's impossible to not see the floor when you want in the room.

When we did our shower I opted for the mosaic that matched the trim on the walls for the floor. I hate marble floors in showers and bathrooms....you're going to be older one day and wet marble can be very slippery......smaller tiles equal better traction. It's not always about pretty, especially if you plan to age in place.

love my kohler cast iron shower pan!! Assorted colors and never leaks.

Overland: I have seen those, not my style but know they work for many! Thanks for the idea and your response!

Sophie: I am an overthinker but w/the flooring I really have a strong preference for whatever reason. I see it everyday multiple times a day and prefer something fun to look at. Not giving up quite yet but do have the option of matching 2x2's Thanks for your response.

binakay: Thanks for your response! Looking around to see what I can find that isn't starkly different. I had hoped it would blend w/walls not be a contrast to them. We'll see. Thanks again!

JudyG: I would prefer this love the picture! That is true marble which I'm guessing isn't prone to breaking. Ive been told no larger than 4 x 4 for shower floor with porcelain. ??

Greenwoodframed: I feel the same way and am also doing no tub :) Did you find a porcelain you liked? Or did you use marble?

Linda: Thank you, I'm not wanting to use marble on shower floor although I love the look but I know me and the maintenance would be too much Yes, always thinking of the aging thing too.

Odin08075: Thank you for your response, will look into that, never heard of it.

Is there a honed/matte version of the same porcelain tile? If so, I'd use that instead of the glossy, then have your tile guy cut the porcelain into 2 x 6's for the shower floor. (The glossy would be too slippery.) From there you could do either an offset or herringbone pattern. If not, a matte 3" ceramic/porcelain hex would be great.

Yes Sabrina Alfin Interiors there is, great idea! Love the herringbone pattern idea! I'd love a hex I just cannot find one for the life of me that matches.

We ended up doing a black marble 2" hex on our master shower floor and a white a cararra 1" hex in our guest shower. Very happy with both!

Shower pans are so much easier than buggering about with a tiled floor I have never had a problem with one yet !

Which ever mosaic product you choose needs to have room for sanded grout in the grout joints. The sanded grout creates traction. The mosaics you have pictured do not have large enough grout joints, you will end up slipping in the shower and could break a bone.
Matching stone color to man made products is very difficult. It may look better to contrast the wet floor to the walls.

Given that you have what appears to be a tile accent showing on the wall behind your photo posted not knowing how large it is or what the rest of the room looks like you might go with a simple mosaic that isn't so busy. We have hex on our floor no slipping yet it is ceramic.

This would look nice in the bath you have. Again, can't see the whole room so?

I can never understand using tile vs a pan on a standard size shower. The biggest complaint in any shower install is the pan. Kohler cast is a install once and never think about it again install.

Especially if you are using white tiles they are a no brainer for me. Look at the amount of posts on here about every other day coomplaining of staining, standing water, dirty grout, mold, failed install, etc, etc. If your installer can't install a cast pan tear up your contract. You will only find out if that tiles floor is good after the first shower. Good luck getting that corrected.

I used glass tiles in a hexagon pattern. Easier to maintain than a natural stone. I do know there are also lots of custom glass options out there as well.

Thank you for your responses shower pan wouldn't work as it's not a standard size shower.

Leemiller: you used glass hexagon in a shower floor?

Porter, that background is the tile stores shower. Our bathroom is currently gutted so not much to see

Has anyone seen this installed on a shower floor? It’s 2x2 square tiled mosaic set in alternating directions to create a basketweave “look” but I’m dying to know how it looks installed and what it’s truly called.

And yes, I’m looking for a variation from standard 2x2 or hex pattern

Ninety percent of what you want in that look, will be marble. which must be sealed. Porcelains, and truly easy care? Most will be 2 x2

Marble.............also mosaic. All mosaic will be on sheets/mesh. There are tons.

Go in person to a dedicated tile brick and mortar.

This thread is 4 years old.....

Yes, Kathy, but there was a new inquiry 10 hours ago.

@safemommy what about a black and white octagon and dot?

Or a black and white basketweave?

Another version of octagon and dot:

pebble porcelain:

penny rounds:

mini arabesques:

white on white octagon and dot:

triangles!

Thank you, I’m matching the wall and floor tile so need to stay with the same pattern/color/manufacturer. I’m going with the basketweave I posted above thanks all!

Nice! glad you've made your decision. It's going to look great.

Check with your local tile resource. The manufacturer should have an option of a coordinating small tile to use shower floor. Where I live building code does not allow for large scale tile on floor because of the flexibility required to achieve the slope for drainage. Our porcelain mosaic is non-slip. Also used it for the shower niche boxes and ceiling.
