Could you add a floorplan?

i'd go as large as possible with the tile if thats the door thats frequently used. you know how much space you use, do you walk over to such and such a place to set down your bag, hang up your coat, before dealing with shoes, etc.

i like the transitioning ideas above but i think they arent for everyone.

you don't have to go w/hex,,,i was just showing you the pics on how to blend. you could do marble, or travertine, slate, porcelain,,

you already have plain white tile. you're redoing it?

but 12x12 is dated, and 12x24 is meh,,,that slate tile in the herringbone is nice. we know that's not dated since you find it in 18th century Europe. Hex has been around since mid century in home design, so, I don't think that's going anywhere. And mcm is on a comeback. just pick something you like that looks good. don't worry about the buyers in a few years. with the stuff I see in homes that get bought, some hex tiles aren't going to deter anyone!

I like your tile choice! It might get dated but it's a small amount of floor so it would be relatively easy (and fun?) to change in 10 years.
