Hello everyone,
we are currently choosing tiles for our bathroom and generally like tiles with a wood look very much. However, we want to install a real wood floor outside the bathroom and are now wondering if the transition from the tiles to the wood flooring can look good. We definitely won’t be able to match the exact color tone of the tiles with the wood floor, and are concerned that the transition might look awkward rather than intentional because the wood colors might clash.
Has anyone had experience with this and can tell us if it still looks good or if the transition isn’t very noticeable?
Thank you!

The accent tiles will be installed in the master bathroom and the kids’ bathroom (we chose a herringbone pattern using the wall tiles there) on the wall where the washbasin is mounted, extending from the countertop up to the ceiling. I would have liked to use them in the shower as well, but since they are not visible when entering either bathroom, that would have been a waste.
For the bathroom furniture, we chose a white double washbasin by Villeroy & Boch for the master bathroom, and a dark blue washbasin by Sanipa for the kids’ bathroom. At first, I also wanted a wooden one (preferably oak), but I didn’t like the available finishes at all. Plus, dealing with a carpenter and the resulting loss of warranty from the plumber was too complicated, so I gave up on that idea. A friend of mine has incorporated some wooden elements in freely available furniture (towel cabinets), a shelf for toothbrush cups, and a wooden board above the bathtub for candles, which I really liked as well.
Regarding the choice of tiles: This would have been the case for us too, but before the sample appointment, we had visited a supplier (AUER – I’m not sure if it’s only available in the Munich area) and then asked our tiler if he could order the tiles from there as well. He actually has his own but very small showroom and said that this was not a problem since it’s a wholesaler, and it doesn’t matter where they order the tiles from. So maybe it’s worth asking again here. Something that also worked for us, as we were specifically looking for this type of accent tile, was ordering sample tiles from catalogs (which was even free for us).

When our two children take a bath, the entire bathroom ends up flooded, no hardwood flooring in the world can withstand that.You have no idea how much hardwood flooring can actually handle 😉

Outside the shower, it’s not a problem at all—but it does require more maintenance.And if you want it to be perfect, you can have plank flooring installed like boat decking (with sealant).
