What type of floor tile would go well with this type of shower tile?
We are getting closer to the full remodel of our main bathroom (not a master). The hardest part now is finding the tile and color scheme we like. The bathroom is 7'W x 10'L and the planned layout is shown below. We are using a standard white enameled cast iron alcove tub (the remaining space will be shelving).
We do know that we don't like a totally gray bathroom which seems to be very trendy these days. However, we like the idea of a clean grayish large format tile shower tile such as the ones pictured. I guess that would be concrete look.
The question is; we don't think we would want the floor to be the same tile, but most pictures I find with this type of tile has the entire bathroom done that way. What other types of tile for the bathroom floor would go with this shower tile? Would white marble work for the floor (or porcelain marble look)? Anything else?
While we haven't decided on a vanity yet, it will most likely be wood stained or natural, not painted.
Paint hasn't been decided either until we have tile nailed down. But my wife would love some sort of green, and wall paper at least on one wall.

PRO3 months agolast modified: 3 months agono to both the first one is extremely outdated.
2nd one is ok, but gray is really on the outs. if you want a modern/industrial vibe, you could go w/that tile.
why not look through some pictures and see what kind of bathroom style you like?
this one is nice. that's a porcelain floor tile
or this one? has a touch of gray
Terrazzo look tile (porcelain) comes in many colors. I love this 24x24 version. good for the floor too
or maybe you like this w/the xl floor tiles?

Comments (7)so the large beige-ish tile is going on the floor and that patterned tile is on the shower wall? can you post a pic of the room? does that large tile come in a 2x2 or 3x3 size? it should. use that. u said it looks busy, but I don't see how. it's a solid look tile. same premise they've done here. used a smaller tile in the same make as the floor introducing any other type of mosaic will look busier. if your large floor tile is a matte finish, it could be cut and used on the shower floor. maybe have it cut in thinner, rectangular strips. they've done it here in the shower...See MoreWhat color/style of floor tiles would go well with this vanity?
Comments (6)The bathroom's fully gutted. No walls, flooring or other material yet. That's what we're trying to decide now. I was thinking of going with simple white walls because the space is so small. We've only purchased this vanity and sink (a slightly longer version than the picture), a matching linen tower (the grey wood color) and bathroom hardware in chrome. We've also purchased a simple mirror with LED lighting all around....See MoreWhat color/type of wood floors would go with these 2 tile colors?
Comments (2)As Patricia points out, a white oak stained to a colour you like is a really good option. Traditionally bathrooms are allowed to be 'stand alone' design elements. Yes it is nice to be coordinated but it isn't entirely necessary. One thing I will caution you about re: carpet to hardwood is this: Carpets hide the WORST subfloors in the world. Builders LOVE working with carpet because it hides every 'builder's sin' you can think of. Because of the horrible subfloors you will need to prepare yourself for 'sticker shock'. Subfloor preparation costs will be a factor in your budget. I tell my clients to budget $2-$4 per square foot for subfloor costs when removing carpet and laying hardwood. What does that mean? It means you need to work BACKWARDS from your TOTAL money available for the job (the price you have to stick to once all the bills are paid and the furniture is put back). An example of this is: 1000sf of flooring = $12,000 budget. This sounds simple until you realize your subfloor prep is going to eat $2K - $4K of that. Labour for installation of the wood = $2-$4/sf (depending on what you purchase and what your location is re: economy). That means another $2500 - $4000 is going to 'work'. This leaves you with a maximum amount of $4000 for the wood itself. That means you have a product budget of $4/sf. This scenario is 'worst case scenario' but it does exist. Please make sure your flooring professional (not a GC) offers you a quote once the carpet has been removed (removal and disposal of carpet can be $1/sf....just saying). A subfloor quote is never accurate. It is always a 'range' like I've given you. I don't want to frighten you...but you will want to be aware of the hidden costs. If your flooring pro does NOT offer a quote for subfloor prep you will want to do one of two things: 1. Ask WHY there is no subfloor prep quoted (many are afraid to add this because they lose business when homeowners aren't aware of these added costs), or 2. Find another pro who will offer a more complete project quote. Labout...See More
3 months agoI think gray is best used on the floor, and I don't think anyone is going to suggest all gray. I have a bathroom with a white floor (secondary bath in the house we bought four years ago). We used it while we remodeled the primary bath and I hated the way every hair showed up on it. And I don't have long hair. If you decide to use a marble look on one of the surfaces I recommend a porcelain look alike as real marble is too delicate for a lot of people in a heavily used bathroom. I agree with Beth H. that you need to compile an Ideabook with pictures of bathrooms you like so you get a better idea of what you want. Here are some pictures of different ways you can go. I'm not really sure from your description what your style is.

Try the Terazio tile by Emser. sold on Wayfair or HomeDepot. comes in diff sizes and colors.
It's nice, simple. I'm using it for a bathroom in an air bnb I'm doing.
behind your tub do something like this black vertical tile (look at Bedrosians Makoto or Marin or sahara line) you can see the similar tile on the floor. w/a wood vanity? perfection
a bit more trasitional. I like the wood and the gold/black accents
tile somes in diff colors too
you could do a vanity like either of these
nice oak vanity w/marble top
a bit more boho style
or a white one. I like the darker top if you're doing all white
Or, this black printers style vanity w/the marble top is also very nice.

Todd, reread the comment above. I edited it to add some other pics. I found one w/the terrazzo floor and the black vertical behind tub. I'd do that!
this one!
if you want a diff shower tile, look at Kenridge Ribbon tile (Tilebar.com) in the black or the wood tone
they have it in gray, white and black, also in this chevron
the off white gray ribbon tile would be nice w/this other tile too
Home Depot carries this under Montgomery-IvyHill tileWayfair too
or, behind the tub you could do this cloe tile in blachttps://www.wayfair.com/home-improvement/pdp/bedrosians-cloe-25-x-8-ceramic-tile-bedr3793.html
I did a customers more transitional style room w/this charcoal porcelain tile and herringbone in the shower. super small room though. w/yours I'd do the 24x24 tile on the floor and walls
