This porcelain tile on a kitchen floor?

| I can see a wall (though good luck finding a tile layer who is good enough to make everything line up properly) but no way on a floor. It will just look messy. |

| I think it's a beautiful tile, but quite busy for a floor. I'm getting french country kind of vibes. I think the rest of the kitchen would have to be quite bland to balance it out. |

| It reminds me of the vinyl sheet that was original to our house built in 1986. 😬 |

Maybe! But I’m not sure about the logistics/practicality of tile that big on a floor. And honestly, I don’t think it will look good. The repeat is just going to feel like weird giant wallpaper tile.
I think you could maybe find or have Talavera style floor tiles made in a similar palette? That could give you a painterly feel without being like look, we can inkjet print anything onto porcelain now. |

| That seems like more of a bathroom wall than a kitchen floor. |

Thanks all. I Knew it was radical.
Hard to make these decisions in a vacuum. |

You can make it a kitchen backsplash. |

OP what drew you to it? Is it the palette? Is it the water color vibe? Is it that it’s gigantic? Is it that you like the unexpectedness of having painted flowers on the floor tile? If you figure out what you loved about it, we can help you think of other ways to get that thing. |

| Isn’t it also too slick for a floor? You want a matte tile so you won’t fall and hurt yourself. |
