For the hallway, kitchen, utility room, and bathroom, we need to choose floor and wall tiles. For the floor, we have our eye on a tile that looks like raw, rusty shipbuilding steel with a dirty effect. It looks great when lit up in the store. Now we’re having doubts. Our entrance, kitchen, and utility room face north. The windows face north. The hallway only gets daylight through the glass in the front door. Won’t the tile make it too dark? Or are we just lacking confidence? Please share your thoughts.

Please upload the floor plan of the ground floor (for the windows, room sizes, and so on 😉 )

What is the name of the tile?

Best regards,

Could you possibly bring a sample to the shell stage? That really helped us a lot back then.

It’s purely a matter of personal taste. We find this trend towards anthracite or similar tiles to be terribly dark and gloomy 😉 no matter how much light shines on them, the floor remains a large dark spot.
But objectively speaking, I find this rust-colored tile quite interesting. If you like it… go for it!

Name unclear: metallic ceramic oxide, I believe. It is from Italy.
Floor plan: attached. Utility room, hallway, and kitchen are visible. The plan is not oriented to true north. South is at the top, north at the bottom.
