Hello everyone,
We need to choose the tiles for our house, but the developer limits the number of different types.
We have already visited the showroom and seen and touched all the options in person.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to best combine different tiles in certain areas.
The bathrooms in specialist stores sometimes look great, but they are not very helpful because they are often too extravagant, impractical, expensive, etc.
Is there a catalog with common tile combinations somewhere, or where did you get your inspiration from?
Thanks and have a great weekend!

pffreestyler28 Jun 2019 08:11If porcelain stoneware tiles are among your top choices, I recommend trying to walk on them beforehand. We chose ours based solely on appearance, and when I first walked on them yesterday, I was extremely surprised by how uneven/bumpy they are (at least ours). I don’t find it unpleasant, but I wasn’t used to it and didn’t expect it, so at first I was taken aback.

With porcelain stoneware, you can also get perfectly smooth and flat tiles. Good advice to feel and walk on the tiles before deciding.

pffreestyler28 Jun 2019 09:03You see, I still have no idea. We had, of course, already felt it by hand beforehand, but I did not expect it to feel so much more extreme and different when walking on it. Therefore -> don’t rely on just your hands.

We chose our floor tiles partly based on how visible our hair, dust, and dirt would be on them. I do clean, but I don’t want to constantly see a messy floor after just fixing my hair. We did the same and I’m really happy about it!
We only have one surface where hair, dust, or sand show up—that’s the dark gray staircase. And that bothers me every single day! Even if I vacuumed just 30 minutes ago!
We have gray concrete-look tiles and warm gray wood-look tiles, both extremely resistant!
