I need help choosing my bathroom floor tile color
Comments (12)Thanks, SJ. Yellow has never been one of my favorite colors and there is a lot of it on the wall. I was considering the multi-yellow though, but now that I've learned it's been discontinued, I think I will go with the light blue. Thanks for the mock ups, ilikefriday!...See MoreShould I request my bathroom floor tile be re-done.
Comments (11)The tile done in the second picture of my first post is actually 6 x 36 wood look porcelain tile ( a different company though). It is laid the same way as mine. It is was done by the main tiler and looks beautiful. It is 1/8 grout lines no lippage at all! I would post a picture of it but it is all covered up right now. I was harsh about the second guy helping him because he had already cut a lot of corners with other things. He wasted a lot of tile getting cuts wrong - which the other contractors themselves were complaining about and bringing some to my attention. Some really bad cuts I noticed he tried to pressure me in to accepting - when I almost caved another one came to me and confirmed it was not good. He basically tiled my kitchen and left the molding on the wall. On top of that all the cuts against the molding were jagged. Like one part would up against the molding and the farthest was .5 to an inch. When I asked what would happen with it he was just answered that it would all be filled in with grout. Dark grout that would make it stand out even more. EDIT :: Here is the link to her tile: https://www.lowes.com/pd/CERAMICAS-TESANY-Tahoe-Gray-Wood-Look-Porcelain-Floor-and-Wall-Tile-Common-6-in-x-36-in-Actual-5-82-in-x-35-29-in/1000379225 Maybe her tile - despite being larger, allows it. If that's the case, I can wrap this around my head and get over it. However, if hers is similar to mine and the good tiler is able to do it without lippage in that layout with smaller grout line - I would like to go for it. EDIT:: Is this another possible solution. When they relay it Would relaying it to overlap in thirds instead of 1/2 help. I am not to particular about that if it will help me get the smaller grout lines....See MoreShould I tear out tile in bathrooms and replace it with LVP?
Comments (19)@Karen The flooring is Provenza Moda Living, Road Trip. I have to deal with a lot of existing darker furnishings and this flooring seems to do the trick. Not too dark or too bleached or too gray. Hope that helps....See MoreWhat color paint should I go with for my new bathroom?
Comments (9)Stunning tile choices and lovely wood. (Agree I wouldn't want to clean those tiles, but luckily *I* won't have to, you will!) I agree to wait unit most of it is in place and then purchase large samples from Samplize and hold them up around the room. Jan nailed it - cozy, moody can be super chill. What you are putting together is a really high end look and you are not going to find good examples of it on Houzz. Look through inspiration pics onArchitectural Digest, 1st Dibs, and Galerie. Look at Farrow and Ball paint samples, even if you don't end up using that brand. They are good inspiration for nice saturated colors. I think a deep plum color would be beautiful in your space....See MoreEric
