I'm with Linelle. And how exactly are you going to wipe it up before stepping (or slipping) on it? I don't think this flooring is a smart choice for you, especially if you don't like the look of a bathmat. Is this for a master or a guest bath? Are you really going to want to warn guests, "Be careful, my bathroom floor is a deathtrap when wet" or worse yet, risk an injury? I would say if you LOVE something it's worth having something high maintenance even if it requires extra care that you're willing to do(like marble counters) but never if it's a legit safety issue. Can you use it as your shower walls instead, so you can still use it in your space, then use the penny tile from the photo as an accent?

Yes it's okay to mix matte and polished tile but I'd skip the mosaic tile

As others have posted, it is the COF that determines whether a tile is safe for floors in bathrooms and polished or unpolished is not the determinant. In my personal experience it is the size of the tile that makes it safe because it is the grout that enables my feet to adhere firmly to the floor and not slide when my feet or the floor is wet - or even damp. When I used a bathroom that had large tiles with relatively little grout (12" x 12") the surface felt like ice and I had to be extremely careful about where I placed my feet lest I suffer a potentially dangerous falls, I have marble tiles in my bathroom (same ones as used in the shower) but they are small and so have lots of grout. I didn't want to rely on mats to cover every surface of a floor where I might potentially step because I liked the way the floors look without rugs or mats and I don't want to clean around a mat. FWIW, I lay down a towel outside of the shower so that I don't drip excessively when I step out but the towel goes into the hamper when I am done. And don't forget grab bars when you are building the shower - they are as critical to safety as a COF tile or grout.

Hello everyone, I am remodelling my bathroom and I am going for a modern sleek look. My plan for tiles are as follows: 11.6" x 23.5" matte white for stand-up shower walls 11.6" x 23.5" matte black for standup shower floor 23.5" x 23.5" matte black for washroom floor white paint for bathroom walls With all matte black hardware (faucets, shower heads, etc) and a rose wood floating vanity. Is there anything I am missing or I should know before starting this project? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
