I like 2

Thanks for the responses. I was hoping 3 would get some love! That one is my favorite followed by 1.

I vote 3. They look like my floors!

I like 2. Will have nice contrast with white walls!

They all go with white trim, ceiling and walls but how about your furniture? Do you have may wooden items? Dark, light, stained?

I initially thought 3 looked more authentic. What rugs and upholstery will you use?

Interestingly, your choices are all so dissimilar. If I were you, I would be on pinterest a lot, pinning rooms showing floors that you like, until you narrow down more what will work best for YOU and your taste, and the types of looks you can work with best given your existing furniture, rugs, and ideas. I would also work with a flooring store that permits you to take home samples.

I obsessed over choosing flooring, knowing that it was an enormous expense for us, and I am very picky, meaning that I needed to be really certain that I was going to LOVE the floor for a really, really long time. Maybe your situation is different. But again, I'd want to narrow it down to at least a category of wood "look".

In fact, the flooring store we chose to do our huge project was the family-owned store who was the most patient with me and all my questions.

I like 1 or 3. Don't like 2 at all

I like #2 - can you share the name of it? Thank you!

IMO they all look too rustic for me , maybe share a bit more about your style

I just purchased a 2700+ square foot home. I am completely starting over and only bringing the 5-piece sectional sofa pictured below for the den. I have no other furniture for the spaces mentioned in this post. I wanted to start with floors and paint and go from there. I want all clean, simple, and neutral. Here is a better picture of #1. The other floors are from Build Direct website so I have not seen them in person yet. I also shared a few other inspo pics below.

I posted the living room pic below earlier this week asking about this sofa. I imagine my spaces giving this vibe. I'd swap the ottoman for a coffee table.

Read a lot more about these before committing. Many people have been very unhappy - cold and fake looking.

Depends on the mood your trying to set. I like 3 it would have sort of a monochromatic feel but would use some dark furniture pieces to ground the room. I also like 2 it gives contrast and grounds.

Thanks everyone. I'll update this post once I have some actual samples in the space.

1. my choice without seeing your space.

2. very rustic looking to me. is your home rustic?

3. pretty but there is no variation. on this one I would make sure you've seen it in a large format. Try to find pictures of it in a room. I think it might wash out and make the grout lines very noticeable.

Jeanette, where do you live? If you live somewhere southern, I can understand going with tile, but if you live somewhere with winter, I'd strongly suggest that you consider hardwood for the living spaces, and a stone-look ceramic or real stone for the entryway. Tile is cold, unforgiving (on your feet or if you drop something) and will make things much more echo-y than wood will. My 2¢. ;)

I live in the South where winter is mild. We prefer tile because we have pets and a swimming pool. I don't mind rustic/farmhouse elements, but I am certainly not trying to create a rustic styled home. I think I'm leaning more towards #1. I found a couple of pictures of it installed and I like the way it looks.

Stay the heck away from Build Direct, or Floor and Decor, or Lumber Liquidators. Bottom of the barrel. You need to find a great local tile person and use his local recommended flooring store.

Choosing the correct installer is huge with large format porcelain. There are way way too many horror stories about it being done incorrectly due to lack of prep and lack of knowledge. Using cheepchinesecrapola is one sure way to have to redo the whole thing.

"I found a couple of pictures of it installed and I like the way it looks."

Make sure you discuss installation specifics with your installer prior to the installation. The way you see it depicted in a picture may not be the way he intends to install it.

Sophie is so right about that. My sister has horror stories...

Also, you cannot pick a wood-look tile from pictures! This stuff varies in quality enormously; it’s easy to make it look good in photos, but up close in person, some of it is very obviously fake. Usually, the cheaper it is, the more fake looking (as in, you can see the dots, because the image they used was too low res). I spent a lot of time looking at a lot of tile before our house build a couple of years ago and again with my sis on her reno last year. If you don’t have a good installer or recommendations for one, find a good tile store and they are likely to know who is good. And remember that the tile itself is a relatively small part of the budget - the installation is more costly. So don’t chintz out on lousy tile because it’s a dollar a foot cheaper.

And finally, I’d stay away from anything grey...I think it will date your house.

I've seen #1 in person and quite liked it. I would never purchase flooring without first being able to see it in person and also in the space. I don't live in the same state as the home so I am doing everything remotely until I get there. I have also been in touch with a local flooring company. This isn't a rush decision, I'm just starting and putting together ideas. I appreciate everyone's advice.

Jeannette, if you have access to a Pro Source, I would check with them. The tiles are excellent quality. They are open to the public but your installer has to pick up the tiles. I found them to be very knowledgeable and helpful.

Thoughts on tile in a herringbone pattern? Should it be isolated to an area or can it be run throughout an entire home?

Here's a picture of an entire floor in herringbone. Keep in mind it will increase both your material and labor costs due to extra waste and the extra labor it takes to lay it.

I would either do it everywhere or nowhere. I wouldn't do it in only one room or area.

With Lft a herringbone pattern is prone to excessive lippage so make sure your tiler knows how to compensate for this using a lippage system. I would do whole area in same pattern if going that way. With the size tile you are considering your pattern will not look quite like the example of herringbone layed with smaller pieces. It would be more like this carried through out rooms.

I like #3. Which one is that. I'm looking for something similar to that. Is it Porcelain tile? Would love to know type of tile. Thanks.

I'm curious which one you went with.
