Dear forum,
Our quote includes tiles in the above size at 30 euros per square meter (approximately $30 per square yard) including installation. Our general contractor has also openly mentioned that many homeowners choose a larger format. This would be significantly more expensive due to the need for a second worker, more difficult installation, and increased material usage. I find myself wavering daily between "there's no need to follow every trend" and "maybe I'll regret the smaller formats for the next 40 years."
My parents-in-law recently installed a bathroom with this size of tile, which we like very much. We have planned to use the tiles for the hallways, entrance area, kitchen, and bathrooms. Using different tiles is not an option for us.
Could you please share your experiences and feedback?

Why do you say outdated?A) Because the topic is ... versus current trends, and these small tiles do reflect a trend, but one from the distant past. It’s not a trend from this millennium. No criticism, no resentment. Just a fact.B) I could also say old-fashioned or unfashionable. Synonyms for outdated. And again, this is not a criticism but a fact.
And in the end, as I also mentioned, it’s a matter of personal taste.

I want to bring my thread back up. Today we visited “our” tile showroom informally to get a first impression without any pressure to decide.
Thanks especially to this thread, we are now reviewing the dimensions and sizes of the rooms again to decide which measurements make the most sense.
Here I have a question. Our entrance area is listed as 2.51m x 7.30m (8 ft 3 in x 24 ft) in the construction specifications. I am wondering if 2.51m (8 ft 3 in) for 2x 120cm (2x 4 ft) or 4x 60cm (4x 2 ft) tiles is just small enough or already too wide.
Can someone help me with this?Hi,Our entrance area is 2.05 x 6 m (6 ft 9 in x 19 ft 8 in).
We have 1x1.5 m (3 ft 3 in x 4 ft 11 in) tiles.
This is how it looks...

This is how it looks...You can clearly see the central grout line, which stands out very prominently. And at the edges, there are narrow tile cuts...M

Thanks for the photos! However, our width is 2.50 meters (8.2 feet), not 2.05 meters.
