LVT that looks like porcelain tiles

last year

Hi all, I've been searching online but not having much luck. Looking for Luxury Vinyl Tile that is cut and laid to look like patterned porcelain tiles e.g. tiled bathroom floor. I can only seem to find LVT as wood effect planks.

Thanks Sarah L, as it happens I do have a sample from them already, but have to say I dislike the plastic texture (perhaps I'm expecting too much from lvt). I find the Internet infuriating...so I searched 'patterned lvt' and the ads that come up are for entirely different things. For instance this lovely floor from Victoria plumbing is in fact porcelain tiles and the vinyl next to it is from a roll not lvt at all.

I'll scroll past the ads and have a deeper dive into the other websites.

Happy to help ! I'm only a short swim away in England !! I think if you want a truly opulent cream for the kitchen cabinets - I'd suggest you get a colour match for the range ! It looks a very creamy cream ! Think it could be stunning ! Then have slightly lighter walls and tiles to keep the room feeling light and airy ! If you have walnut stain for your worktop on your island , I'd suggest using that on your exposed legs if you go for the dipped paint look on the table and chairs ! Are you having the classic CC shaped island ?!?

Hi, I would incline to tiling the whole space in one material. Now, with that you have lots of options in terms of material choices. If you have underfloor heating I would recommend to go for porcelain tiles - they come in wide range of colours, patterns, stone and wood imitations. Marble and wood imitating tiles are very popular and timeless such as calacatta white marble, creme marfil marble, granite, slate. Wood porcelain tiles range from blonde tones, light, dark browns to almost black, zebrano. Porcelain tiles technology has evolved so much over the last decade that an untrained eye can not distinguish the porcelain from the real thing. And if you have children it's so much more practical as well. Easy to clean and maintain. However, if you don't have the option of underfloor heating I would recommend wooden flooring. Again throughout. I wouldn't break the flow with different flooring types. If you have your living room in that open plan as well, I wouldn't worry too much about changing the flooring type just because of it. You can always use large rugs to define the area and function of that space, and make it more cosy. I just completed a project with porcelain tiles throughout. You can have a look at my profile. More images are on my website. I'm happy to help so please get in touch if you need more specific info. I offer lots of free information on my blog and via social media. I'm more than happy to point you in the right direction. Hope this helps. Karolina

Hi Louise, Lovely new kitchen, such a lovely bright space too. I would suggest going a couple of shades darker than the kitchen furniture colour so you get a contrast to the furniture and flooring. This will help keep it on a neutral palette so your other furniture and accessories are not competing with too many colours. Also as your room as so much natural light you can go for a slightly stronger wall colour and it will look superb. the photo below shows a very cool grey wall you could go for a warmer grey but it give you an idea of what you could do. Painting the walls can always be changed relatively easily, so if you want a change after a few years you can and it's a lot less costly than a new kitchen! Keep us up-to-date on what colour you choose and if you have any other questions please let us know.

I know what you mean about the plastic texture of LVT. I considered using it in my hallway, but ended up using laminate instead.

I'm glad it's not just me Sarah, I thought maybe I was being too picky. I wanted to 'Upgrade' to lvt for our open plan downstairs as I know it's waterproof properties make it 'ideal' for kitchens (we had laminate in previous house but did suffer when the washing machine leaked). But even the wood effect lvt, doesn't look or feel as realistic as laminate to me. We are moving washing machine into downstairs bathroom (which I think we'll end up using real tiles) then maybe laminate in kitchen and just cross fingers the dishwasher doesn't leak?! Lvt promises so much but I've struggled to fins samples that actually deliver.
