I purchased this slate in Santa Rosa, and I was told it's from India. It's gotten many compliments, it's one of the most affordable stone flooring and it's 0 maintenance.

Love this kitchen! How about these? https://www.houzz.com/discussions/what-kind-of-tile-flooring-is-this-tha-dsvw-vd~83683 I like the rectangle shape. This tile floor that has a slate look is also attrective: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/are-these-tile-floors-and-if-so-what-are-dsvw-vd~77150 I would like wood. How about oak floor stained to match the cabinets? Or a white wash stain?

Is that your installed tile or just a pix? Have you chosen your wall paint? What color are your cabinets? Upholstery on your dining chairs, style of furniture? I am looking at the grout in your photo. It make each tile stand out and looks very contemporary to me.

Thank you Ironwood Builders. I did not want to appear unappreciative of Studio M's advice, but the one thing i hate on a floor are wood effect tiles.The person i was buying the kitchen off thought that a contrast to Maple eg. terracotta,slate or any darker tile would be effective with Maple.Sorry for the misinformation.

Tiling for tiny bathroom

Hi! What was your final decision? I am also working on my tiny WC and came to the following conclusions (after 2 months spent in tile shops, looking through houzz and pinterest photos). The tiles in small spaces: 1. Should reflect. The space should not be matt and absorb the light. The glazed tile reflects the objects like a mirror and creates depth. 2. Should not be oversized. When you like the big tiles on the photo you posted - just adore them at the picture. they will not go to a tine space. Compare the size of the bathroom and the size of the tile. Try to imagine the pattern. 3. Don't be mislead by professional designs and photos (like the ones you posted and you like). Most of them are the bathrooms which are really huge in size. So the tiles that are on the picture will not go for your project. You want a small SPA oasis? Forget about concrete and metal look and all the things like that. I took a sample of concrete tile in my bath... really you feel uncomfortable, when you step on the concrete barefoot, Though I have floor heating , I wouldn't go barefoot. Its concrete!:))) Concrete is good for a big loft or industrial design, I think. 5. For a SPA - look I would opt either for the mosaic (which is classical for SPA, but be careful with that. May be monochromatic or achromatic) or wood optic tiles combined with warm white tones. 6. Much color in small bathrooms is not a good option. It is better to add it with accessories. Moreover you can change the look just by replacing your turqoise towels by grey ones. You can add dynamics only by choosing not a typical size of the white tile and making an interesting pattern. For example, for my tiny WC i have 25x75 cm tiles and will put them in a brick wall style. What I have chosen for my tiny WC is a wood optic (very light) tile for the floor and white tiles for the walls. They will cover the wall by 120 cm. The rest of the wall will be covered with wallpaper (navy blue or dark gray). Or may be just painted. Wish you good luck!
