Should floor tile match wall tile?
Comments (7)There is no real rule. You do want them to coordinate with one another in terms of relating to the overall look of the bathroom. But they can coordinate while being different materials (porcelain on the walls versus natural stone on the floor), different sizes (subways on the wall versus squares on the floor), and different patterns (running bond on the walls versus diagonal on the floor). The above is simply an example. Much of it can depend on the size of the room and the amount of tile to be used. Using the same tile everywhere in a large bathroom could look a bit too monochromatic and uninteresting. There would be no change in material or pattern to draw the eye from detail to detail as you look around the room. In modern or contemporary design that might be desirable; a slick, clean, uncluttered look. In a more traditional design it might simply be boring. Large format tile always lends itself well in modern styles. Mosaic can be implemented for a period look. Mosaic is busy given the many individual tiles, But it can be made to look "detailed and busy" by using a contrasting grout color. It can be made to look cleaner and slicker by using a grout color the same color as the tile. So there is no real right or wrong as a whole. Sometimes anything and everything can work, but often it's how it is implemented into the design. But you need a starting point. A design style, for example. Having an idea of what look you are trying to achieve will lead you through the selection process; tile material, tile color, tile size, layout pattern, grout color....See MoreDo you need to match wall tile grout to floor tile grout?
Comments (7)I just last Friday had both my walls and floors (I have the same large format tile on the walls as well as the floor) grouted with Mapei Warm Gray. It's gorgeous, I love it on the walls, but somehow I'm finding it a little to light for the floors, even though I like and wanted a uniform look. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with how the bathroom is turning out, but I think I'd have gone a little darker on the floors if I had it to do over....See MoreNeed some help to match my kitchen tile floor with my wood flooor
Comments (29)Gray flooring is very trendy - which means it will become the dreaded "dated". While light gray as a neutral will always be useful, the extreme over use of gray will turn on itself - just as over use of oak did. If this was a cheap laminate gray floor with a limited lifespan - no big deal (except the waste in the landfill) but you had better love this expensive floor 10 years from now when the HGTV crowd will say "yuck - look at all that gray" - just like they say "Yuck, look at all that oak" now. If you will love it, go ahead. I have my oak kitchen which I like just fine. However, a natural wood floor will add color and will go with just about any style thrown at it. It is best if one applies the trendy colors to easily changed surfaces - like paint for walls, decor, curtains, upholstery and even a backsplash if it is not a huge expense. Listen to SJ - she is a flooring expert. The gray, gray rooms just looked washed out - especially when all the new design pics I am seeing are showing color....See MoreNeed help matching floor tile to vanity!
Comments (5)If you're going to the expense of completely remodeling the bathrooms, especially replacing the shower, it seems like the expense of a single 36" vanity is small percentage of that cost. If you love the vanities, by all means, save them and re-install. If you don't love the vanities, I don't imagine the cost to replace the vanities is going to break the bank. Keep in mind that "changing tile" in a shower is not a simple matter of removing the tile and re-installing. It's fully gutting the shower to the studs and bare sub-floor and rebuilding a fully waterproof shower and then tiling over top. Most of your expense will be in labor. I would recommend going to a real tile store and bringing home a bunch of samples that you like. Then put them up against elements you're keeping until you find the look you want. I don't really understand the "farmhouse" look so I can't really make a recommendation on materials for you....See MoreRelated Professionals
