Bathroom floor tile? Wood like plank or something else

[Anonymous]

I agree that wood tile may go out of style fairly soon and you could get tired of the look.
Here is an inexpensive but attractive tile that you may like. It has a bit of a strie to it, but it's subtle. Consider the 12x24 tiles. You need to see it in person to appreciate it.

We are at a complete loss! Any ideas?

Why are you listening to that PP. Almost every single thing you do to your house is a passing fad in like 5 years. Pick the tile you like.

I wholeheartedly disagree. You can make choices that will not go out of style in 5 years.

I agree.

Avocado green appliances? Dated.

Plain white or plain black appliances?

While not current or the next thing in kitchens, they are functional and fine and will not scream circa (insert two year span).

There is a biy difference between flash in the pan trendy (wood look tiles) and not necessarily the next big thing but perfectly serviceable and not dated (plain subway tile) or classic and timeless (real wood).

Subway tile is the trendiest of the trendies.

For a bathroom floor, I would use plank or large format rectangular tile. Avoid squares and you'll be fine. And personally, I love wood look tile. I expect some of it to be in style for many years to come.

Subway tile has been around since before the art deco era of design and its use has spanned decades for the better half of last century. It might be a popular trend now but it is also classic and pretty darn close to timeless.

and barn doors have been around since humans began erecting structures...

I like the wood tile but this one is actually pretty nice if one doesn't want the wood tile.

+1 OP, they're both nice. I don't think they'll be that dated in a few years.

I like tiles that are painted to look like marble (or marble if you can swing it). I love the look. I would also suggest getting the biggest tile you can (and to avoid little, mosaic-like or penny tile). In my experience, the less grout you have, the easier the maintenance and cleaning. I also used epoxy grout - amazing stuff and virtually stain free.

This is a toss up. Larger tiles are significantly more likely to crack over time. And marble is so 1990 to me. It reminds me of gold drawer pulls and hunter green trim.

I like the wood like plank tiles. Not sure about using it for a small bathroom. I guess I'm thinking if you are using it because you like the look of hardwoods but need to use tile, wouldn't it look better in a larger area like a kitchen, living room, dining room etc? Also I wouldn't expect to see hardwoods in a bathroom but I think if I did, I picture sunlit, old fashion room wth a claw foot tub and radiator.

What about a tile with a linen pattern to it if you are going for a modern look
