Hello,
we are still looking for the right tiles for our hallway and, like many others, are torn between light and dark options.
Our entrance area is about 10 sqm (107.6 sq ft): 2.40 m x 4 m (7.9 ft x 13.1 ft). The adjacent guest toilet, which is 3 sqm (32.3 sq ft), should have the same tiles as the hallway.
Our current favorite is the tile "Gardenia Orchidea Brickyard Bianco" (just search under "Shopping," links are not allowed here) in either 80 x 80 cm (31.5 x 31.5 inches) or 40 x 80 cm (15.7 x 31.5 inches). It is a very light, matte, cream-colored tile with some texture.
Alternatively, we are considering a dark floor (slate, gray, anthracite, also textured and matte).
The (concrete) staircase will probably be covered with wooden steps, likely ash wood, which is also rather light in color. We are concerned that everything might end up looking too bright if we choose light tiles.
Next to the hallway is the dining room with medium brown wood-look tiles.
Maybe you have some advice or opinions regarding color, size, and maintenance?

Uniform flooring is fine, but somehow we can’t bring ourselves to have the same material in the living room as in the guest bathroom and hallway. The living room should feel cozy, so we want a wood-look floor, while the guest bathroom and hallway should be simple. Having a wood-look floor in the hallway as well feels like too much.
I’m attaching our floor plan and how we have planned it (the guest bathroom uses the same tiles as the hallway).

We are considering installing patterned cement tiles in the entrance area and bathroom. You have to like them though (and sort out the many awful patterns and poor printing)Are you sure? Can they be sealed? I thought they were porous and therefore quite sensitive.
You can impregnate the classic (real) ones, but if I understand correctly, the currently offered products are often not really made of cement. This would need to be investigated further; so far, as I said, it is just a consideration. It is simply a completely different approach in terms of appearance compared to "as large-format as possible."
