Bathroom vinyl tile colors

5 years ago

I have a 1980s cultured marble sink in light beige. The cabinets and mirror frame are espresso. What I would really like to do is put in light gray vinyl tile flooring but can't figure out how to make it go with the beige marble. What tone can I paint those cabinets that might tie in a gray floor with a beige countertop? The other problem I'm having is finding luxury vinyl tile in something other than faux wood. I just had my 1950 floors refinished. It seems clashy to have a faux wood on the bathroom floor and real wood in a different color outside the door. Or is it just me? Do people actually do this successfully? The sample on the floor is a beige that's still not light enough in that small space.

Because it is very trendy right now faux encaustic tile is available in LVP.

Not just you. It is clashy and not recommended by most Pros. I don't know which bathroom this is but MUST the floor be replaced? On my screen, the current tile is a better option than vinyl plank. Obviously, your budget determines your project scope and as much as I hate grout in a bathroom, I wouldn't be in a hurry to take out a tile floor if it's in good shape.

Look at Coretec. Many choices in LV tiles.

I like Rorah’s idea as well.

I am not a fan of wood or wood look for a bathroom.

That's cheap white tile. You're right that it would look better than faux wood nut it doesn't look good. Under it, is a layer of linoleum. Vinyl can float on top of that tile. I would rather remove it all. But then the door jams would all have to be repaired as there would be big gaps. Trying not to hyperventilate!

In a narrow Jack and Jill bathroom, wouldn't you need to keep the tile very plain and avoid looking too busy? Or can I get away with one of the trendy tiles?

Fwiw, a tile floor can be painted. Don't know your budget, your reno goals or the scope of your project but working with fixed elements in a house will often save you a good chunk of change, especially in a bathroom.

I hadn't thought of painting the tile until someone else mentioned it today. Thanks for the heads up!

Do you think a trendy pattern would age too quickly? In a narrow Jack and Jill, would it be too busy? The thing I most hate is that there are four doors! I would love to have pocket doors but the plumbing prevents that.

IMO get a new counter what you have is dated and a new one is probably not as expensive as you think. IMO the encaustic look vinyl would be fun in there too.

Although very trendy encaustic tile has been around for centuries so it is a classic in a sense. LVP or linoleum is also a great inexpensive and easy way to change your mind in the future without feeling economically wasteful.
