Tell me about your bathroom floor

We have laminate which I hate.

I can thoroughly recommend Karndean though - we have it in our kitchen in tile effect and it's fabulous. So easy to clean and pretty much bombproof.

Pale grey studded rubber. I love it, but probs too modern for you.

My bathroom is tiny, though reasonably modern. It has light-grey rectangular tiles on the wall with white grout, and square mid-grey tiles on the floor with dark grout. I really like it actually (it's obv not our choice, as in rented), and the mid-grey floor doesn't make it feel any smaller, I don't think so anyway. tiles may not be that practical with small children, though they aren't slippery when wet, but the colour is fine. Plus it really, really doesn't show the dirt half as much as the other bathroom with white floor tiles. That one's a nightmare for looking grubby.

I have the tiniest (no window) bathroom in the world so wanted to keep it as light and as bright as possible and went with white tiles and a white marmoleum floor.

The marmoleum is lovely, the white was a mistake. Shows up every speck of dust and hair.

Tile effect Karndean, in a light stone colour. I've not had to clean it for aaages ?

We have slate with underfloor heating. I think it looks ok.

Snap! Karndean is fabulous.

Mine is kind of a mid-cream large ceramic floor tile. It's really cold underfoot and I'm sure you'd crack your head open on it if you slipped. Not recommended ?

Another mid cream ish largeish ceramic tile..but we have underfloor heating, which is worth every every penny. One thing I have noticed with this is that the grouting, which is cream too, is permanently darkened/dirty looking where people have been in and out of the bathroom with their shoes on, I could/will attack it with a toothbrush and some sort of enviro-f*ck soon, but I wish I'd gone for darker grout.

We have lino in our rented house, and its horribly cheap looking (probably because it was ?

My parents have amtico in theirs, which I think is great.

We have carpet, sorry ?

Our friends have fab big massive cream stone floor tiles all through their house and they are stunning.

We have just put in strand woven mulberry flooring which was easy to fit (T&G) and I'm really pleased with it.

Thanks everyone, that's really helpful. Haven't heard of Karndean before- shall have a look. Also hadn't considered underfloor heating- is it hugely expensive?

SGL, I really like the shape of your sink etc. Did you buy them yourselves and, if so, where from?

Depends - there are two types iirc. One that links in with your central heating system and uses hot water, and one that is electric. There are advantages/disadvantages to both. Adding to central heating can be a pita but then if you're taking out the radiator not neccessarily a big deal. It usually needs more depth though, so you might not be able to add it on top of existing floorboards without then needing a step up into bathroom. The electric one is very thin, so no extra depth needed, but you do need to get it wired in to fusebox which might mean redecorating. Electric can be expensive to run.

Karndean is actually vinyl iirc

we have tiles. off white, theyre warm underfoot despite not having underfloor heating.

My sister has the most fabulous vinyl tiles from Harvey Maria - she has a very traditional Victorian bathroom and it looks great.

They do free samples by post - she got loads and this was the one she went for. I love them and am going to shamelessly copy her as they look so nice.
