Old House Black and White Tile Bathroom Floor?
Comments (2)try to look up chloe ..American Olean makes them. less expensive choice is dal-tile. You will find it on the home depot website. scroll all the way down and click to just for contractors and look up the tile. anybody can buy it at that price. I did a job for someone using the dal tile black and white floor. The wall was done with 3x6 bright white subway tiles from us ceramic at 14 cents a tile. also purchased at home depot....See MoreOld House Black and White Tile Bathroom Floor?
Comments (11)Suzieque ~ I have a little more time this morning to answer your questions. The tile type is mosaic, it comes in sheets that are connected. The challenge is lining it up just right o that you cannot tell that they came connected in sheets (no 'seams'). Our sheets were mounted on mesh. Another type is connected by rubberish 'dots'. The mesh worked well for us to gently pry out the white tiles we wished to replace with black. However, I believe the tile with the dots is easier to lay properly because there is no chance that excess mesh at the edges will bump into the next sheet as you place them into the thinset. To eliminate this possibility, I spent some time trimming the excess mesh from the edges of my sheets. You can buy hexagon tile already in a couple of patterns from daltile. You can also buy octogan and dot tile fairly easily at most tile stores, where you can have a choice of various dot colors. Its not difficult to create your own pattern, but be ready to be very careful and meticulous in your planning. As I said, I trimmed every mesh sheet, laid them out dry-fit on the bathroom floor, laid the black flowers on top and figured out exactly where they would go marking with a pencil. Then removed each of the white 'flower' tiles and placed the black 'flower' (which I had cut out still connected with mesh holding the 'flower' together) They are not glued, until the whole sheet is placed into the thinset. Since our bathroom was narrow, I was able to make four piles of tile sheets (with the black flowers in place) which were in the order of which they would be laid with the furthest row by the window on top. The jagged edges around the room were covered up by wall base tiles, door trim, or the radiators. By the shower pan litle 1/2 tiles were put in place (these can be bought separately, but a good tile setter can cut these). Lastly, I bought our tile online from American Universal tile. It comes in several sizes and finishes and many colors. We chose 1" matte finish. Send for samples first in the various sizes and finishes. You could also be able to order the daltile or american olean from tile stores.

Comments (17)If you want to keep it really simple, consider going with the hotel model. Most hotels, regardless of decor, use white towels, etc. Definitely rule of thumb for spas, as well. You could also use a shower curtain, which would give you the option of covering the tile, to whatever extent you like. https://nearsay.com/c/622336/74285/3-ways-to-make-your-glass-shower-doors-more-private This would allow you a lot of decor choices, with curtain color, style, etc. You could also just use a very simple white shower curtain, as shown above. You do not have to ’match‘ the black in the apartment, but if you would like to pay homage to the black trim and detail, which is very nice by the way, you could of course still use black in rugs and other accessories. As one idea, I think something like this could be elegant. As far as bolder colors, etc.: You would need to be able to see the space as a neutral backdrop - which it essentially is - and you then bring in the other color(s) as accent(s). Since I personally see the space and it’s connection color-wise to the shore nature palette, I would probably choose to accent with colors like the light blues and or gold and or coral/pink - along those lines. Below, as one example: You notice the gold wall + pink and blue incorporated into towel arrangement. So for example, you could mix it up and do gold towels with the black rug, or gold and white, or gold and light blue, etc., etc. the sky is the limit. And it goes beyond shore type color palette; it really depends on what you see and what you like. I just think the shore palette works well with the color scheme and elements in your space, and I tend to defer to nature in many of my design considerations. But outside of that box, there are any number of ways you could go. A deep plum/eggplant color could be striking, for example. There are really many possibilities. Hope some of this is helpful....See MoreFori
