Flooring Design Dilemma entry

Looking for advice for concrete wall and flooring

Paulina Nikolova

Hi guys,

I need an advice for the wall in my entry. I really wanted to have a concrete wall with big gray tiles but in the last moment, I put small hexagonal tiles in black, white and grey (attached pic). Do you think the concrete wall would still fit or I'd rather use just some grey nuance paint? Or something else?

Thanks a lot!

I'm not sure what you're asking. You seem to already have a wall. Are you wondering about concrete tiles on the wall? If so, the answer is no, not with that floor.

If you were thinking of tiles like these...

...it would be way too much.

You might do a concrete wallpaper:

So those of you with stained concrete, would you have rather put down tile? Our builder is recommending we stain the floors of our walk out basement but I'm concerned when people walk in from the pool that there will be lots of slipping and sliding, plus I don't want the room to look unfinished.

Hi, Lazy Gardens -- this is my first House post so my question didn't get in! I have 4 bedrooms where I had a licensed asbestos remediator remove vinyl asbestos tiles. I have 13" cream-colored light gloss ceramic tiles in the rest of the house -- not ready to redo those now, but there's no way to match those tiles. Small Florida home, lots of light in the small bedrooms. I was hoping for terrazzo underneath, but no luck. Retile with 13" tiles like the rest of the house, or larger tiles that are more modern, or get this concrete ground and polished?

Why not any porcelain tile? Plenty of styles available and no sealing required.

The concrete WALL paper is GENIUS (as is Groveraxle)! I think that's probably the way to go.

Go with paint. That's the easiest and quickest. If you don't like that then try another idea. You could go with a gray or add completely different color like warm coral.
