If you have subway tiles in your bathroom. . .

What do you have on your floor?
esp. if you have white.
Same color? Tiny octagonal? B & W? Something other than tile?

I have had subay tiles in old apartments with very tiny floor tiles, but I don't really see those in bathrooms anymore & fear the millions of grout lines.

Big tiles seem too modern for suwbway tiles.

Any suggestions? Pictures?

I have 1 inch hex white tile with my white subway tile. In my marble bath I have subway tile with 6X6 squares. Check out my house album for pics.

This is my floor in the aqua bath...

This pattern and size in my marble bath but in carrera marble.

We have white carrera marble basketweave tile. There are pics of our bathroom in my album.

I have a large b/w octagon pattern.

My bath is very large so the smaller tiles wouldn't have worked.

Pics in my album.

I have white subway tiles and large charcoal floor tiles - pics in album

We had subway tiles in the house we just sold...we did white hex tiles on the floor with a few black tile flowers done into the floor, for a vintagey look.

Annienyc has longer, gray rectangular tiles laid in the sort of pattern you'd put a wood floor and it looks awesome, and a little more modern.

Ahhhhhhhhh! Soo many choices!

Thank you all for the pics.

I think the overall look I had in mind was a cross between what Laurabora posted & CurlyQ's aqua room, but I love the basket weave marble too.

I love gray.

I had the octagon tiles with black in an old rental, so I think I want something different, but they are so classic.

I want classic, but not dated, if that makes sense.
I have a very tiny bathroom.

CurlyQ--what kind of counter top do you have in that room?

tourist, we were also trying to go for a classic look, even if the aqua paint is a little bright! My counter tops in both bathrooms are polished carrera marble. Good luck!

Re: If you have subway tiles in your bathroom. . .

the possibilities are endless

we did subway tiels in master and guest bathroom

for master we used river rock on the shower floor and silver travertine on the floor of bathroom

for guest we used an iradecently blue green tile that has similar proportions to subway tile but larger - it goes with the glass tile stipe that we inlayed with the subway tile

We did the bathroom retro looking - so I have the small octogon tiles on the floor -

We begin our bathroom reno next week and we chose the hexagon floor tiles with the white carerra marble subway tiles for the shower wall.

I'll post pics as soon as it's in.

OMG - I want to see your whole house!!!! I love both bathrooms!!! Your TUB!!!

Everytime you post - I'm like "oooooooooh I wanna see, I wann see!"

Thank you for posting - they're both gorgeous! Is the carrera marble slippery?

CurlyQ-I think you did accomplish classic. All the permanent stuff is classic you can really put any paint & accessories you want.

Question for those of you with marble--is it really expensive? I thought it wasn't practical for a bathroom? I saw a Corian color-rain cloud that had a marble pattern and didn't look obviously like Corian to me

And for those of you with tiny tiles-- is it difficult to keep the grout clean?

I know the general look I want (classic, white, maybe gray accents), which narrows it down a lot, but there are still so many choices. My friend has white crackle subway tile & it is gorgeous. Crackle! I didn't even know that was an option.

The bathroom I want to re-do is in my album ( peach walls) & the white one is my old bathroom that is sort of my inspiration, but in better shape ( an with a normal toilet)
