I couldn’t help but laugh at your bathroom, well, not at your bathroom–it’s exactly like mine and I’ve been searching the web for different ideas! I would love to see yours finished and I’d love to show you mine. I have the original tile on the floor, tiny black & white squares (I think they’re called pinwheel) and I don’t like it at all! It is cold on the feet and unless I have rugs down it just about makes you dizzy if you stare at it long enough. I say go for the wood look vinyl, you’re not going to get much traffic in there anyhow so I wouldn’t worry to much about the wear & tear.

Use a sub floor while laying the floor tiles. A sub floor will prevent the tiles from cracking or loosening. Are you looking for gorgeous tiles? Visit us at Tiles Adelaide and get a wide array of tiles for your home.

You could go with the concrete tile but put in one of the below floor heaters. Nothing nicer than a warm floor under your feet when you go into the bathroom. Does cost a little more but worth it in the long run.

You will think I’m silly, but I love the fake hardwood. I have some tile in my bathroom (lovely) but I hate it, cold and I don’t like cleaning it. I picked out vinyl for my kitchen and it’s been there since 84, I still love it.
In fact we are going to remodel (someday) and I think I would like “a” in my kitchen. tee hee

I like the fake vinyl for the bathroom. One of my boy’s rooms has it and it looks nice and is easily maintained and warmer on the feet. It’s also cheaper and easier to install. You forgot to mention that ceramic tiles chip, crack and break.

not a! if it’s one continuous piece of vinyl you’re asking for trouble when you have to fix something due to water damage — because you will have to rip up the WHOLE floor. With tile you only need to replace part of the floor. [this is coming from my architect hubs]

I’d totally go with A. I’m not a huge fan of the look of wood in a bathroom, but seriously. . .. those stick on tiles will take like 10 minutes to install (I exaggerate, of course, but the ease is SOOOOOOOOO worth it).

I like A & B, probably B a little more. Stay away from white tiles! As others have said before me, it’s terrible to keep clean, think toothbrush scrubbing grout, very bad.

I really like the look of the fake wood vinyl- especially because it matches the rest of your house, and I think that’s cool. :) My second choice would be the concrete, because white floors are a pain in the butt- my parents have a white tile kitchen floor and it’s a pain to keep clean and it shows even the slightest amount of dirt.

I’m going for option B, I have to agree with the “why install fake wood?”, although the the fact that it’s warmer on the feet has it’s charm. Option B looks a lot like the tile we put in our bathroom, and it looks very nice with the blue tile that we have.
