In our new build, we are planning to install tiles in the hallway, kitchen, bathroom, guest toilet, and utility room.
Does it look odd to have the same floor tiles everywhere? Or would you tile each room individually?

Basically, avoid using too many different formats (not only for tiles!), but always keep in mind that dark tiles in the entrance area are a no-go (you can see every footprint – I didn’t want to deal with that).
Therefore, on the ground floor (entrance and guest bathroom), we have different floor tiles than on the upper floor (bathroom and utility room).

We have completely identical tiles on the ground floor, which were apparently laid seamlessly over the expansion joints in the screed and through the door thresholds. It looks very good! Ideally, we would have chosen visually matching outdoor tiles for the terrace—but unfortunately, they were no longer available when I wanted to order them.
We have different tiles:
- Kitchen, entrance, guest toilet floor, and flush tank in gray
- Bathroom floor with wood-like finish
- Bathroom and guest toilet walls in white
- Bathroom shower area in a different shade of gray
Be very careful when mixing tiles within a room: 60cm x 30cm (24 inches x 12 inches) is often not an exact size. However, unless you load the cart yourself at a hardware store, you will usually receive proper advice when purchasing. And you can always find a matching white tile.
