    Default Porcelain tiles for a washroom?

    Anyone?

    I am doing things bass akwards, as usual. I decided to paint our washroom last Saturday. Now, I've decided it needs new flooring. Currently there is just the vinyl flooring from the builder in there. I found a lovely porcelain tile in a dark brown, almost wood like, that I really really want to put down in there.

    Is this a good tile for a full washroom- with a bathtub/shower?

    Also- our cabinets are white. The walls are now a beige color, but not a boring beige. LOL. Dark floors would look nice, right?? My husband isn't sold on the color of flooring I've picked out. But he is color blind, so I don't hold much stock in his opinion. But I would hate to order it and then not like it.

    We have 1 x 1' tiles in our baths...make sure it has some texture to it! Ours is clean white and it's just like ice skating!

    When I get around to it I'm going to put those in our bathroom, that vinyl in this 112 year old house is just wrong. If Rita will let me I want the hex ones in B&W like a lot of houses this age had when built.

    Do the things that make you think he's right

    Texture is important. that sounds nice. Any chance for a picture? Some contrast in color is always good.

    I put porcelain tiles in my kitchen/dining rooms and both bathrooms. I absolutely love them. I think with your coloring, the dark tiles will look nice, but keep in mind if your room is small, it won't help making it look bigger.

    Since my kitchen/dining area is so big, we laid our tiles diagonally, it looks great.

    Thanks.

    I will try to find a picture online. I took a pic with my phone, but it doesn't do it justice.

    I have slate grey porcelain tile (actually textured to look like slate) on my bathroom floor. Any neutral works well in flooring. You can use virtually any wall color with a neutral floor.

    Here is the picture of it from my phone. Why it came out sideways, I'm not sure?

    IS it the bottom one? I bet it will look nice. Good contract in colors.
