I’m not going to tell you which one I have chosen for my floor, but you can guess! I mean really, how easy do you think it was choosing my bathroom tiles? It was hard I tell you.
One thing to consider with some of these tiles is that they can be used as a wall tile, in addition to a bathroom floor, which gives you more flexibility to use them in both areas.
Something else worth considering is whether or not you are using heat flooring in your bathroom. Looking back I wish I would have. You definitely will want to address this before you install your tile floor.
Which style of floor tile is your favorite?
Maybe you can be inspired by some of these incredible farmhouse bathroom floor tile ideas. They are all inexpensive, and reasonably priced, so if you are looking to change your flooring, these are really great options.
All those cement tiles that are so popular? Yup, I was able to track down some really cool ones! Another great option for farmhouse bathroom tiles are mosaics. The black and white tile mosaics are so classic and will stay stylish forever. They have stood the test of time.
I firmly believe that all of these will last and are a more “classical” style of tile that will last and will not go away with the next wave of trends.

Porcelain tile, ceramic tile, or natural stone tiles…
Whether you are choosing a stone tile, porcelain tile, or ceramic tile, remember that the type of tile you choose has advantages and disadvantages. Stone tile is gorgeous, but it is one that you really need to be careful as far as functionality goes. It can be a great choice for bathrooms but you definitely want to make sure and seal them, since natural stone tile can absorb and stain.
Porcelain tile is a very durable type of floor tile. In comparison to ceramic tile it is considered more durable because the tile is more dense and less porous which makes for a great option in a bathroom design. Ceramic tile is more porous than porcelain tile which makes it a bad choice for outdoor use but it can be used in bathrooms with no worries. While porcelain tile trends upwards, you will have no worries about what kind to choose because there are so many options.
Ceramic tile is less expensive than porcelain tiles so if you are looking for a more affordable option, ceramic tiles are the way to go. They come in an array of colors and designs. I think this becomes a personal preference and choice. Make sure to consider the amount of traffic and usage the room will get. For a high traffic area, a porcelain tile would be preferable.
Terracotta tiles are another option and they can be so gorgeous! Make sure to check installation instructions prior to choosing this tile. It is most popular in kitchens as well as entry ways or on patios.
Tile Designs….
You can also combine a couple of different floor tiles to create an interesting tile design. Using one tile as a border or creating a design with one in combination with another is a great way to add more interest to your bathroom floor. For myself, I did not consider this, because I wanted to keep mine classic and simple. I was worried I would grow tired of trendy tile design.
So what have we learned? There are so many tile options it can become overwhelming! But, I thought that if you were a lover of farmhouse style floor tile like I am, that I should provide you with some of my favorite floor tile options.
From shower floor tiles, wall tiles, glass tile, and even wood look tiles, there are tons of different options and I have found some of each category that are classic and timeless. One of the most classic in my opinion is subway tile. It seems to stand the test of time and come out looking amazing in any space. I used subway tile on my shower walls, and used smaller size white marble hexagon tiles on the shower floor. It gave the shower area a modern look. You want to stick with a porcelain shower tile for inside a shower. Try to find one that has slip resistance. This is why I chose to use a rougher marble tile with different textures to prevent slippage.

Choosing bathroom floor tiles….
With so many flooring options available online and in stores, you can practically get any tile you need for your floors and walls. I have really fallen in love with Mosaic tiles. I think they such an interesting bathroom flooring option. The smaller mosaic tiles would look lovely in either a small bathroom or a large bathroom. A herringbone pattern would make a big impact in a small powder room.
Large painted cement tiles are also a huge favorite bathroom tile of mine. I have seen these used in so many different installations including back splashes, flooring, and even on stair treads, so obviously it can be used for more than just the bathroom.
When choosing the right bathroom flooring for your space, make sure to take into consideration your own space. Make sure that the floor tile you choose will work functional and aesthetically. Using a larger floor tile with a lot of pattern can create quite a focal point in the space so make sure to consider that.
Whatever kind of flooring you choose for your bathroom, make sure that it is something you love! Do not choose based on what others think. You have to live in the space, make sure the floor tile you choose is really what you want. Price ranges for floor tiles can vary widely so also make sure to consider your budget. You can often find a similar floor tile for half the price. Do your homework or hire someone to do it for you. I would be glad to help if the need arises.
Make sure you PIN IT for later!
Which one is your favorite? Mine changes daily depending on my mood. These farmhouse bathroom floor tiles are all great options to add some farmhouse style to your home.
Have a great day!

Pinterest has been helping me keep a lot on my ideas in order, especially since I’ve been looking at so many different farmhouse style bathroom floor tile images. Find me 〈HERE〉 on Pinterest if you are interested in following along with my pinning adventures.
How to Choose Farmhouse Bathroom Floor Tiles.
Not only am I going to share the steps I took for choosing the perfect farmhouse bathroom floor tile, but also, I want to share all the gorgeous floor tile options I found along the way. You know, since I couldn’t buy them all for myself.
Affordable farmhouse bathroom floor tiles vs. High- end farmhouse bathroom floor tiles.
My very first order of action was setting a budget. As a whole I have been trying to keep the costs down during this renovation, opting for durable laminate flooring in the main office area and an affordable carpet in the break space. With that being said, the bathroom flooring should be no different.
As you can see in the image, the splurge farmhouse mosaic tile is $42.46 a square foot. Yes, It’s marble and it is stunning however, it is expensive. On the other hand, the save tile is only $8.76 a square foot. This tile is ceramic, which is why the price is significantly lower, but the look is very similar.
Sticking to a budget may seem like a challenging task but, in reality, it’s not. You can find so many gorgeous and affordable farmhouse style floor tiles in any price range.
What’s Your Bathroom Floor Tile Style?
We already know I’m all about the farmhouse style, however there are so many different tile style options to choose from. Modern farmhouse bathroom floor tiles to rustic farmhouse floor tiles, you are guaranteed to find a bathroom floor tile in the style you love.
SHOP THIS BATHROOM
Looking for a classic style floor tile that will stand the test of time? A gorgeous black and white floor tile will do the trick. Prefer more of a modern style? Possibly a sleek, clean lined gray floor tile will be perfect for you.
Mosaic tiles make for an excellent bathroom tile floor option. I find myself drawn to them because of the amount of styles and design options. I also have been loving the more graphic hand painted tiles. Both mosaic tiles and hand painted tiles would work beautifully in small and large bathrooms.
I personally tend to go for tiles that are more classic and timeless (hello white subway tile) for example, white floor tiles. White is one of the main characteristics of farmhouse style, in turn making it an ideal option for my farmhouse bathroom floor tiles.

Which Bathroom Floor Tile Material to Use?
Natural Stone Floor Tiles, Ceramic Floor Tiles, Porcelain Floor Tiles…
When thinking about what floor tile material I wanted to use in my bathroom design, I asked myself the following questions.
- What are you using this bathroom for?
- Is it your household’s main bathroom, or is it a half bathroom that rarely gets any use?
- How much maintenance is required?
Porcelain Floor Tile
This tile is the most durable. Porcelain is a type of ceramic tile, just harder and stronger than other ceramic tiles.
Some of the characteristics of porcelain tile that make it appealing for a high traffic bathroom are, it’s extremely resistant to water, scratches, stains, and cracks. These characteristics provide long-lasting durability, which makes it the perfect bathroom floor tile. Keep in mind though that porcelain is more expensive compared to ceramic tile.
Glazed or Unglazed?
Porcelain tile goes through the same process whether is glazed or unglazed. The only difference is the glazed porcelain tile has a layer of glass on it.
Glazed porcelain tile gives you more aesthetic options, however, it’s a bit less durable than unglazed porcelain. Unglazed porcelain tile has more of a natural look and is more suited for a shower floor or outdoor areas because of its slip resistance.
Ceramic Floor Tile
A highly popular choice in tile is ceramic. Why? High durability, low costs, low maintenance and the abundance of colors, patterns and shapes.
Ceramic tiles also are available in glazed and unglazed.
Glazed ceramic has a coating on the outside making it water resistant and practically maintenance free.
An example of an unglazed ceramic tiles would be terracotta. Terracotta, though it has a rustic charm to it, is not water resistant, prone to chips and is a soft material making it not an ideal choice for bathroom floor tile.
Natural Stone Tile
Marble, granite, slate, and travertine are all examples of natural stone tile. It’s undeniable the elegance the look of natural stone gives a bathroom, however they do require more maintenance and are more expensive compared to ceramic and porcelain tile. Natural stone floor tiles would work in a bathroom that is not often used.
Stenciled Tile
Using a stencil to make it look as though you have a tiled floor is a fantastic and budget-friendly DIY. Some great resources for beautiful farmhouse floor tile stencils are Etsy, Amazon, and Cutting Edge Stencils.
Being that this bathroom is in our office and will see a significant amount of use, I decided to go for a durable porcelain tile. Any guesses to what style I choose?
Where to Buy Farmhouse Bathroom Floor Tile?
Finding a place to buy bathroom floor tiles is so easy. There are specific tile stores everywhere. These tile stores are great options for people who like to see and touch the tile in person.
For my online shoppers out there places like Amazon, Joss & Main, Wayfair and Overstock also carry a variety of floor tiles for your bathroom.
Lowes, Home Depot and Floor & Decor and three stores where you can both shop online and instore.
Needless to say, I did not have any issues finding a place to buy the perfect farmhouse bathroom floor tile.
Now that I have my farmhouse bathroom floor tile picked out, I can continue with the rest of the bathroom design. Choosing a paint color, a farmhouse vanity or pedestal sink, and all the other fun accessories to add the right amount of farmhouse charm.
Finding the right bathroom floor tile isn’t a hard task. Do some research, use the steps I took and you will be well on your way to finding the perfect bathroom floor tile.

Bathroom floor in a wooden house
Home / Bathroom floor
Published:
Repairing a bathroom in a wooden house can make even experienced professionals sweat a lot. After all, wood, due to its characteristics, extremely negatively tolerates high humidity. And if the dwelling is completely made of wood, then with a high degree of probability the floors will also be lined with this material. In this case, the device usually involves the use of wooden beams. nine0003
In a humid climate without good waterproofing, they will rot and dry out, causing the floor to sag more and more over time. In such conditions, even the most resistant flooring will lose its attractive appearance. At the same time, the repair will not be limited to cosmetic corrections - the work on laying the floors will have to be carried out again.
That is why it is extremely important at the planning stage to determine the scope of work for waterproofing a bathroom in a wooden house, the type of flooring that will be used, and also to find out all the nuances of the repair. nine0003

How to make the bathroom floor as waterproof as possible
The primary task at the first stage of renovation is to ensure complete waterproofing of the bathroom. In a wooden house, this is a very important issue, because moisture will significantly accelerate the wear of all supporting structures. And this applies not only to the floor, but also to walls and ceilings. nine0003
The first stage here is a thorough cleaning of the premises. Dust, dirt, small particles and other debris can interfere with the correct waterproofing process. Therefore, the bathroom should be as clean as the situation allows.
Cleanliness is also important for the next step, which is the priming process. For these purposes, a liquid composition or mixture is used, which must be dissolved in water in a ratio of 1: 1. Carrying out this procedure additionally degreases the surface, increasing the setting properties of waterproofing solutions. And this is a guarantee of the durability of the repair. nine0003
And the last step is to directly apply the moisture resistant coating. Waterproofing in this case can be carried out by various methods, among which:
- coating;
- paint;
- pasting.
The most common of them, and also the simplest one, is coating waterproofing. To carry out work in the bathroom, you only need the mixture itself (usually a mastic or a special solution) and a roller. Two layers are applied to them sequentially, with a break of 5-7 hours. This is enough for the floor to be sufficiently isolated from the effects of water. nine0003
Paint waterproofing in the bathroom is not a very rational solution. The fact is that the bitumen-polymer mastic used for applying to the floor will lose moisture resistance after 2-3 years. And this is not the longest period, because in a wooden house protection from moisture is constantly needed.
nine0002 The process will require the participation of high temperatures. Doing such waterproofing with your own hands is unlikely to succeed without relevant experience.Special tools will be required for the waterproofing adhesive, as the method involves the use of bitumen-polymer materials for flooring.
In any case, even after applying the base waterproofing layer, it is recommended to additionally cover the floor with rubberized material - this will provide greater moisture resistance.
Indoor floor screed
As mentioned earlier, in a wooden house, the bathroom floor arrangement involves massive wooden beams as a supporting structure. If the room is located on the lower floor, then you can easily replace them with more durable steel floors. In this case, the use of a cement screed is justified. It, in turn, will allow the use of ceramic tiles or porcelain stoneware as flooring. These materials cannot be mounted on a wooden surface, since the mixtures for their fastening are not designed for this and can only come into contact with concrete or drywall. nine0003
If the bathroom is located on the upper floors, then replacing the beams and even more so making a cement screed is extremely risky. This significantly increases the load on the floors, which may, as a result, not withstand and collapse - and it’s good if the floor fails when there is no one in the house.
You need to be extremely careful about safety measures when laying the floor in the bathroom. When using a screed in a wooden house, it is desirable in any case to reduce the distance between the ceilings. Such a device will increase the level of maximum load that the beams can withstand. You also need to take care of increasing their cross section. Also, do not forget that the level of overlap must be made 8-10 cm lower than in the rest of the house. Otherwise, there is simply not enough height under the subfloor. nine0003
Unfortunately, there is no lighter alternative to cement screed. If safety standards prohibit creating an additional load on the floor in the bathroom, then there is a fairly wide range of materials that can be used for decoration.
Bathroom floors require careful preparation before finishing. What is important to remember, read in our publication.
How to optimally and ergonomically plan a bathroom, you can read in this article. nine0003
What materials are suitable for finishing the bathroom floor
Even at the stage of planning the floor of a bathroom in a wooden house, it is necessary to take care of the issue of choosing the type of flooring. In stores today, you can choose materials for every taste and wallet size. Both inexpensive solutions are available for those who seek to save money, as well as expensive ones, they are also the most durable. The choice is up to the buyer.
Meanwhile, the most popular types of flooring include:
- ceramic tiles;
- wood;
- laminate;
- linoleum.
The most common solution is ceramic or porcelain stoneware. This material resists moisture well, its service life can be 8 years or more, and the strength is much higher than that of analogues. However, its installation necessarily requires a cement screed, which increases the load on the floor, which in a wooden house is a separate problem and will require at least a change in the arrangement of floors. Therefore, such coverage is not suitable for everyone. nine0003
Wood is the second most popular bathroom flooring material. In addition, it is completely environmentally friendly. This will undoubtedly be relevant for the owners of a wooden house. And even though wood is not naturally water friendly, modern water-repellent coatings can achieve a stunning effect. Thanks to it, the boards will acquire sufficient waterproofing properties to last indoors for many years and not deteriorate. Of course, this material is inferior in terms of durability to ceramics and wood needs to be further processed, which requires additional effort and costs. However, it serves as an excellent, and most importantly, affordable alternative. nine0003
If there is no time to impregnate wooden boards, then a moisture-resistant laminate would be an interesting option. In a wooden house, it would be quite reasonable to use materials similar in structure. Laminate, thanks to the abundance of patterns imitating the structure of wood or parquet patterns, will organically fit into the interior of any room, including the bathroom. However, if installed incorrectly, moisture can get into the gaps between the slabs, causing the material to swell and the entire floor will need to be updated.
nine0050To save big, you can simply lay linoleum in the room. This material tolerates moisture well, is easy to install and, thanks to a wide range of colors, can be matched exactly to the design of the room.
However, as with laminate, careful sealing will be required. Leaking through the seams, water begins to accumulate under the linoleum and lead to its deterioration. This is especially true for those types that are made with a layer of insulation. It will cause the onset of rotting processes, the consequences of which will be an unpleasant smell and “floated” linoleum. nine0003
The device of a wooden house suggests a responsible attitude to the decoration of the bathroom. Floor coverings must be chosen carefully and soberly assessing the condition of the room. If the bathroom is located on the second floor and above, then it is better to invite a specialist who will evaluate the possibility of using a cement screed, reinforced floors and heavy finishing materials. High-quality waterproofing is also required so that repair efforts are not in vain.

Floor in the bathroom of a country house: 100 photo ideas, selection rules
Contents:
- Key requirements for the floor in the bathroom
- Preparing for the arrangement of the floor in the bathroom
- Screed and finishing the floor in the bathroom
- Floors in the bathroom of a wooden house
Living in a country house it is impossible to imagine comfortable conditions without some rooms, one of which is the bathroom. The approach to warming and finishing the bathroom in an apartment is significantly different from that required by a country house. First of all, this concerns the arrangement of the floor and surface finishes. How to properly arrange the floors in the bathroom of a country house so that the room is reliable and comfortable? About this in our material.
Bathroom floor key requirements
In order to competently perform repair work, you need to understand the issue, understanding all the subtleties and nuances. When arranging the floor in the bathroom of a country house, you need to determine what requirements the coating must meet. Key Points:
- High-quality thermal insulation.
- Competent arrangement of the waterproofing layer.
- The right choice of finishing materials.
- Floor resistance to mechanical and physical stress, wear resistance. nine0020
- Competent laying of communication systems.
The bathroom in the apartment does not require high-quality floor insulation, as the rooms are heated from below, which ensures comfortable conditions in the room. As for a country house, the situation here is completely different and one cannot do without additional floor insulation. This problem is especially acute in housing where there is no basement. An equally important point in arranging the floor in the bathroom is the creation of a durable waterproofing coating. nine0003
As you know, the bathroom is a room with sudden changes in temperature and high levels of humidity, as a result of which condensation forms on the walls and on the floor. With proper arrangement, excess moisture should evaporate and be removed with air masses, if this does not happen, then water will be absorbed into the underground, having a detrimental effect on the surface. High-quality waterproofing that protects the surface from moisture will help eliminate this possibility.
When it comes to finishing, there are no special restrictions, and the homeowner can use any materials that suit the interior design, style of the room, as well as materials that meet the financial capabilities of the owner of a country house. At the same time, it is important that the material is safe during operation, has an attractive appearance and good resistance to moisture. If there is a "warm floor" system in the bathroom, then this must be taken into account when designing the room, which will determine the height of the screed. nine0003
Preparing for the floor in the bathroom
Before starting the repair work, you need to go through preparatory procedures, which include a number of actions. Of course, it is easier to go through this stage in a new building, because when repairing an old bathroom, it is necessary not only to prepare the base, but also to free the floor surface, after which the old coating is dismantled.
After removing the old finish, carefully inspect the floor to make sure that the concrete slab (or any other base) is not damaged. If they are, then they need to be eliminated. To do this, use tile adhesive or cement-sand mortar, providing the necessary strength. The next stage of preparation is priming the floor with compositions based on acrylic resins. Also, the surface is treated with antifungal compounds that protect the floor from mold and the formation of other microorganisms. nine0003
Next, you need to waterproof the floor in the bathroom of a country house, using roll material (a modern variation of roofing material based on fiberglass), mastic or membrane film. Particular attention is paid to the junction of the wall and floor, processing the corners with special tapes. Waterproofing membranes can be used both on the basis of PVC and artificial rubber products.
Bathroom floor screed and finish
The final stage of the rough finish of the floor in the bathroom of a country house - pouring the screed. It is necessary to determine the height of the floor and screed in advance so that it is convenient to move around in the room. If an additional layer of insulation or a "warm floor" system is used, then this must be taken into account in advance. You can increase the strength of the screed using internal reinforcement with rods or a lattice.
Suitable for bathroom flooring:
- Tile is a durable and wear-resistant material that has an attractive appearance and a wide range, both in design and color.
- Water-resistant laminate and parquet - materials that are pleasant to the touch and externally, with increased resistance to water. In addition, wood-based materials are treated with a special antiseptic that protects them from mold and fungi.
- Linoleum is inexpensive and easy to clean. When buying, you should give preference to non-slip models with a rough surface. nine0020
- Self-leveling floor - has excellent waterproofing properties, allows you to use the "warm floor" system. Also, such a floor has a unique pattern, solutions in 3D format are especially attractive.
- Cork is a warm and natural material that is resistant to moisture, odors and micro-organisms.
