Looking for ideas for bathroom floor tile in small 50's tract home

Jeanette S on Jul 16, 2014Since you already have a green tile bathroom surround, I would stick with a white tile. It seems you have a pretty large area so I would use large tiles. You can lay out a few to see if you like it diagonal or straight. I know you are supposed to start in the center of the room, but I would check out squareness and see if I could do the cuts around the vanity instead of on the tub side.Helpful Reply

Beth Turner Van Rhee on Jul 17, 2014I have seen the porcelain or ceramic tile that is so popular now - the stuff that looks like wood flooring - in a light grey color. I am assuming that it is supposed to look like weathered wood, like on a dock, maybe? I saw it in a newly built house in NY that had paint color similar to the tile on your walls. It was a bathroom as well, and it looked very good! The long thin lines may keep you from ending up with a "tile overload" look! Good luck!Helpful Reply

Lorna Jean on Jul 17, 2014I recently found cork - it isn't a tile but so much better easy to clean up and can use in both kitchen and bathroom areas! Pricing is about the same as tiling without the glue and grouting!Helpful Reply

Liliana Wells on Jul 17, 2014My flooring of choice has always been tile if the sub-floor is concrete. I have seen some tiles at Home depot that have a mottled finish with squiggly green lines. They are not very noticeable unless you get very close; but they would tie in with your green wall and vanity tiles. Make sure your floor tiles are not smooth, otherwise you might slip when wet. Post again when you are finished with your project. We would love to see your new bathroom.Helpful Reply

Sue P. on Jul 17, 2014In our kitchen, we used porcelain tile that looks like planks of weathered wood. I tell about it in my blog post at http://lasthomebeforeheaven.com/weathered-timber-kitchen-floor/. We got it at Lowe's and it comes in other colors as well. We love it. I've linked a photo.

Debra Grieve on Aug 12, 2014Do you know what is under the vinyl? If it is plywood or wood and in good condition, you could sand it down and fill any gaps/cracks, and then stain or paint the floor. Make sure there is a matte finish so it will not be slippery. That would save money and labor IF the vinyl comes off well with it's glue! Of course you can add thin plywood over the top of what is there and start from there.Helpful Reply
