    Yes, nice. Was there a question?

    So, this was my first time posting and I couldn't figure out how to post a picture and a question and accidentally just posted the picture! Thanks for commenting!

    My question: I love this kitchen and want to replicate it in my remodel, but want to carry the hex tile floors from the bathrooms into the kitchen. Would this kitchen look good with large black hex tiles with black grout instead of the pictured Moroccan tiles with white grout?

    Are you considering arabesque pattern but calling it a hex?

    Here are a variety of arabesque tile colors. You can see that the tile finish, color and grout plays a big part in how successful an installation might be.

    No. I'm doing white subway tiles on the walls and black hex tiles on the floors in the bathrooms, but I'm not sure how it will look in the kitchen.

    (the shape on the pic is called "Lantern" I think )

    anyway..it will look good but if you want to see your hex you'll need a lighter grout. Not neccesarily white; just a shade or two lighter. If shape of tile is important to you you'll need a bit of difference between the tile and the grout. If you want a calmer look you can do same grout; then your shape becomes less important

    I like their look since lanterns bring a bit of a roundness..into geometry. Hexes will give less fluid look..still pretty, just different.

    It will be harder to keep clean, but everybody and his priorities. You know yours.

    Make sure it's not too slippery.

    “When not wiped down”—I think you forgot the word “hourly.” ;)

    The flooring in the kitchen has much MORE to do with the other flooring in your home in LIVING AREAS, that that kitchen is open to. What is that flooring?

    I'm sorry. I just saw your comment. The rest of the house is the original pine floor.

    Erica, do a medium or darker gray grout, rather than a black grout. it will give it just enough outline around the tile.

    this is the black tile (below) w/black grout. I would have like a gray better.

    here is a black slate w/gray grout. much better look



    and yes, it would be fine. they've done it in this kitchen w/the large lantern type in a white. I believe the size of these are in the 12"-14" range.

    these are Elite Tile Mar, 10"x11"


    and these are 8x9". (these also come in black and gray) SomerTile

    Erica, can you please tell me where the source of the first photo is from? I love this kitchen! Thanks

    That is a great resource, thanks for sharing.

    I guess it depends on what style you're going for, I think large hex tile looks fairly modern. Maybe a small hex in bath and large in kitchen for a contemporary twist, or perhaps consider rectangular tile in slate or porcelain, such as in examples above for a more traditional feel.

    In my bathroom reno, I began with wanting a dark tile, but for a couple reasons ended up with a dark Marmoleum. Having used it in my kitchen, I can recommend it, and they have beautiful colors.

    I agree with Beth, if I chose dark tile, I'd want to emphasize it with lighter grout.
