Need help choosing bathroom tile

3 years ago

Hi, I am changing the flooring throughout my house to light colored engineered wood. This LV will need to be taken out. Any suggestions on a tile floor that will go with this current vanity and shower tile? I don’t want to take all that out right now. Thanks!

    Look for a gray slate look tile. It looks like a small bathroom. Normally I would recommend 12 X 24" tiles for a floor, but if it is a small bathroom a smaller format tile might be a better idea.

    Sorry but that counter ans shower needs to be redone those tiles are really dated but since that is not in the budget right now IMO leave the whole space as is and when you ar ready to do this bathroom nice 12 x24 tile for the floors and the shower walls and a nice stone for the counter that works with the new floors.

    If and when you do redo this bath will you redo the flooring or is what you put in here now going to stay and dictate future design of this space?


    I know you are not asking for advice on this space but I noticed @kandrewspa pics, the third one down has a big white mirror that reminded me of your mirror. I think it would do wonders for this space to paint your mirror white and go with chrome knobs. Let the faucet and shower be the two pops of black. I think a deep slate color floor could then go well in there. With the amount of black you have in there now, lots of floors are going to seem like they clash.

    I like the current tile, but would change the knobs. I think the dark hex tile would be nice, but just about anything would work. Maybe pick something that works with your style.

    Whats wrong with the current floor? if you are eventually going to reno i’d wait. if your happy with it and have no plans to reno i guess it makes sense to do now. no reason to replace everything just because its "dated"!

    The tile is definitely dated and probably hard to keep clean, but it looks like a nice tile job and it looks so clean! I rather like it. Not everything has to be updated; it has a “vintage vibe.” I like the idea of the dark, slate colored floor but I also think you should wait to replace the flooring unless it’s bound to be ruined when you take up the old flooring in what appears to be an adjacent hallway. I wouldn’t pick something too expensive as it will be difficult to redo the bathroom at a later date without damaging the new flooring.

    Thanks everyone. I was thinking gray too. Just moved in and redoing tons of parts, so no budget for this room for a while. Appreciate all your comments.

    Engineered wood in a bathroom with shower and/or tub is a bad idea. The moisture causes the very thin wood veneer to swell and contract, causing the wood to splinter. I’m speaking from experience. We just replaced the engineered wood floors in both bathrooms with porcelain tile, because of the splintering, chipping, and cracking. Leave the bathroom until you can redo it all.

    Hi Teamaltese, The wood is going in hallway, not the bathroom.
