Need help deciding between 2 floor tiles
I'm remodeling my master bath and have recently changed my mind on the flooring tile I chose. I have these 2 new finalists but I'm not sure which one to go with. They're both wood-look tile. The rest of my house is transitional. I want a spa feel in the bathroom but really modern bathrooms I've seen don't make me feel relaxed. Do I go with the warm wood tone or the more modern dark color?
My vanity cabinets, doors and trim are all white. I have 2 towers on top of each side of the vanity. The walls are going to be Agreeable Gray by Sherwin Williams. The blue tile shown is on the whole wall above the quartz countertops. The shower tile is closest to the floor samples. It's muted gray with darker streaking (hard to see in the pictures). The small square tile is the shower floor. We'll have a curb on the frameless shower so the floor tiles won't go directly next to each other, but they will be close. The curb will be capped with the quartz. The shower will have a pony wall and shower tile will be mounted vertically & go all the way to the ceiling. I will be having minimal grout lines on all tile.
My concern is that the lighter floor tile will make the room more country or traditional. The darker floor could make it look more modern, but the rest of the main floor (except bedroom) has dark wood floors (real wood) so is that too much for 1 house? The bathroom has 1 window over the tub and is very dark. We're having to add in a lot of lights to brighten it up. Our goal this whole time has been to brighten the room. Will the dark floors hinder that? I would love to hear thoughts on this since I have to make a decision soon. Thanks!

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoyou have 4 different, very different, types of tiles. they don't work together. sorry. your tiles appear cream and your vanity is white. Do you have to have those tiles on the wall?
The wood look tile should be replaced with a simple porcelain if you want a spa feel.
these are all porcelain, except this first one, which is Basalt:
this bathroom is a little more cohesive w/their tile selection. similar to what you want
these come in other colors. i'm just showing you the format. although, I do like these charcoal tones on the floor w/your vanity.
these would be better on the shower flowr

di8416,,,yes basalt. basalt comes in many different looks and sizes. the one I used in my shower is very black and smooth. Honed:
some are gray and rougher texture. (make sure you apply a sealer to basalt before you grout!)
you can find the tiles everywhere, now. (Iceland uses this stone for everything)

black slate can also be used.
and they make porcelain tiles that look like it (main Street boutique black tile)
