Timeless Floor Tile Roundup
Picking tile can be daunting – especially if you have to do it for multiple bathrooms at once when building or renovating. We are often charged with creating schemes for multiple bathrooms on our projects. While we love the opportunity to pick a bold and custom tile, for a lot of people, simple, classic and not crazy expensive is the directive. Tile is not easy to replace, especially on floors, so I figured I would gather a selection of my favorite timeless choices all in one place – all available online. Of course, going to a local tile store or showroom is ideal, as seeing things in person cannot be beat, but sometimes the ease (and affordability) of buying online is great too!
This bathroom we did is a great mix of simple basketweave brought up a notch by a detailed border.

In this bathroom we used a larger format marble mosaic.
In the same house we chose a patterned porcelain floor tile for the powder room.
And nearby a faux brick tile for the laundry laid in a herringbone pattern with a stacked border.
In this primary we used a very simple elongated rectangle Carrara tile – a total classic.
In the kids bath we chose a smaller format marble mosaic in a parquet pattern.
In this beach house primary we paired a wood-look marble mosaic to the wood tone of the vanity.
In this kitchen we used a porcelain marble-look tile to create a checkerboard pattern. I would advise to buy porcelain marble-look tile ONLY in person. They can either looks super fake or pretty convincing and it’s impossible to tell the difference online!
