Nobody can possibly answer this question from a single picture of a tile laid atop a carpet. In no way is nearly 1400 sq feet of tile a DIY job. I assume you have a tile approval from the condo board......many don't allow for sound reasons. Over a large space, I think 12 x 24 is too short a vertical tile, and better for a shower wall.. And larger format are not DIY either.

Download the Tile Council of North America's handbook, please. There's a lot to this, particularly Large Format Tile.

I'd look for different tile. this peachy/taupe color is going to be a pain to match, especially if you want anything gray. Do a nicer porcelain tile.

this is a 12x24,,notice the 1/3 offset. this is how they will be laid.

if you want a 24x24, do something like this,,square set, almost no grout lines. this is a porcelain that looks like limestone.

a good quality, wood-look tile.

I didn't want to say that, but that's what I was thinking. I agree,,,not the best looking tile for a new condo. that's why I suggested something different. flooring will be there a long time. pick something that isn't already dated looking.

Condo is not new but would love to hear what type of tile you would recommend

sjboggs,,,i posted 3 of them, above. do you like any of those looks?

and here are 4 others

And yes it's in Florida over looking the Marina and most of the people are 60+ but I do want a more modern style, but something that is not a fad. I love all the advice, thanks

tilebar.com has a lot of great porcelain flooring choices. take a look over there and see if you find something you like. half of those pics I posted are theirs

oh I know that and thanks so much for the advice and liked the one picture with tile(GRAY) laid like a pattern

sj,,which one? the herringbone pattern? last pic w/the dark gray? That's a porcelain tile that mimics the look of basalt. you could do a light gray too

these are all nice, neutral choices and will stay in style for a very long time.

look at basalt tiles or porcelain basalt.
