Basic and affordable bathroom floor

2 months ago

We're having tile installed in a bathroom. I am not one to care much about aesthetics and could use advice from someone with a better eye. I am not aiming for a dazzling upgrade. This is a home built in the 80s and has not had many updates. All I'm looking for is something that is fairly inexpensive and will not look too dated in a few years when it's up for sale. I will probably put a different counter and sink in the vanity. Here's what I'm considering for flooring. Thoughts?

Consider sheet linoleum. It's more waterproof than tile, as it doesn't contain any tile. It's warmer underfoot and softer /kinder to ankles and knees. It's less likely to break a dropped item.

I much prefer the sheet linoleum in my kitchen to the tile in my bathrooms.

Oh, yeah, and it's significantly cheaper. Faster to install too.

Who can say what will be dated in a few years. The first pic might work for flooring.
