What feels best under your toes after a shower?

By Stefanie Waldek and Hadley Mendelsohn

Bjorn Wallander

While your flooring choices are a little more straightforward in a living room or a bedroom (hardwood and carpet often reign supreme), you have quite a number of options to choose from when it comes to installing a new bathroom floor. But there are also more variables to consider (mostly due to the use-case of a bathroom). Tiles are the most common, given their design range and resistance to water, but there are tons of options within that category alone. And then there are the other bathroom floor favorites, like natural stone and concrete! Here, we break down 16 different types of bathroom flooring, as well as designer examples and ideas to help you think about maximizing your own with the best-looking and most durable options around.

Robert Peterson / Rustic White I

Vinyl

“I wanted a real accent wall that wasn’t all paint,” says Alison Victoria of the Phillip Jeffries grasscloth wallcovering hand painted with 24 karat gold in her Atlanta home. A solid bronze door frame from an old elevator elegantly frames it. When she moved into the loft, the existing concrete floors had a red-orange stain, so she laid vinyl plank flooring that resembles throughout the space.

Vinyl flooring works extremely well in bathrooms, as it’s waterproof, durable, and incredibly versatile—it can mimic hardwood and ceramic. It’s also a much more budget-friendly option than tilework, and it doesn’t get as cold or slippery. Vinyl comes in both sheets (which can be a little tricky to install in a small space like a bathroom) and tiles.

Concrete

On the durability scale, concrete flooring ranks highly especially when it comes to water resistance! In fact, water can’t damage concrete, making it an ideal choice for a bathroom floor, especially if your aesthetic skews more contemporary or industrial. As with tiles, concrete floors work well with radiant heating to keep your toes toasty. Leanne Ford spread it across the entire bathroom floor, creating a wet room.

Heidi Caillier

Ceramic Tiles

Ceramic tiles (particularly porcelain ones) are quite water-resistant and they tend to be more affordable than natural stone tiles. They’re incredibly versatile, too, given that they can come in essentially any shape or color. As with stone tiles, ceramic ones can get a bit cold and slippery. We're loving the tight pattern on these floor tiles in a Heidi Caillier-designer bathroom, especially when contrasted with mauve zellige walls.

Engineered Hardwood

Hardwood floor isn’t the best choice for bathrooms, as wood is very susceptible to water damage, expanding and contracting and therefore swelling and buckling in humid environments. But if you’re set on having a wood floor in your bathroom, opt for engineered hardwood, which places a thin layer of real wood over plywood for extra durability.

In this bathroom, "the details stop and make you pay attention," says its designer Jeffrey Dungan, but it's the quiet materials that really set the scene.

Shawn Henderson

5 of 16

Cork

You might not think that cork would work in a damp environment such as a bathroom, given its porous surface, and you’d be partially right. If you do decide to go with the eco-friendly material, you’ll need to finish it with a water-resistant coating to ensure a long lifespan. But the pros to a cork floor are comfort (it has a slight springiness) and sustainability (it’s a renewable resource). Plus, cork looks undeniably chic, as proven in this odwer room designed by Shawn Henderson.

Waterproof Stucco

This en suite bathroom is modern and sleek, yet there's also something romantic about it. “I wanted it to feel calm, quiet, and seamless,” says designer Lauren Liess of the cave-like concrete shower area coated in waterproof stucco. The nod to nature is indeed a classic characteristic of modernism. Coating the concrete in stucco gives it an extra layer of visual intrigue.

Tom Scheerer

7 of 16

Linoleum

Made primarily of linseed oil, tree resin, and wood flour, among other natural ingredients, linoleum is a worthy option for bathroom floors. The material has naturally occurring antimicrobial elements that help prevent the growth of mold and mildew, which are unfortunately all too common in bathrooms. In this bathroom designed by Tom Scheerer, linoleum floors in the mudroom and adjacent powder room prove a durable, easy-going material.

Cement Tiles

When you love the look of poured concrete floors but it isn't an option, try cement tiles instead. Large-format Cancos floor tiles and a concrete trough sink give this space by Elaine Santos a refreshing industrial feel. She warmed up slate floor tiles with a cozy faux sheepskin area rug for a balanced whole.

Atelier ND

9 of 16

Ceramic Floor Tiles

A more affordable option than natural stone tiles, ceramic tiles (particularly porcelain ones) are quite water-resistant. They’re incredibly versatile, too, given that they can come in essentially any shape or color. As with stone tiles, ceramic ones can get a bit cold and slippery. A wavy contrasting floor tile, carried up the side of a built-in tub, unifies several surfaces in this bathroom by Atelier ND at actor Carice van Houten's Amsterdam home. A bright red towel warmer takes up barely any square footage adds serves more than one function: storage, and coziness.

Stone Tile

Given their natural resistance to water, natural stone tiles like marble or granite are an excellent flooring choice for a saturation-prone space like a bathroom. But the material is quite expensive, and it does get cold and slippery! Radiant heating and well-placed floor mats can solve those problems, though. In the bathroom designed by Sheldon Hart features black and white tiles comprised of reclaimd marble.

Heidi Caillier

11 of 16

Penny Tiles or Glass Mosaic

Heidi Caillier opted for a muted navy blue tone of penny tiles for the floor in this bathroom. Penny tiles can be ceramic or glass. Though you might be more familiar with glass mosaic tiles in your shower or as a backsplash in your kitchen, you can actually use them as flooring in your bathroom. Just keep in mind that they can get scratched and become dull if dirt or debris scuffs them, so keep your floors clean!

Painted Wood

In this monochromatic green bathroom designed by Leanne Ford, the existing wood floors are painted in a diamond pattern mimicking the look fo classic floor tiles. The sage and cream color scheme plays right into the eclectic style of the space and looks fresh, unique, and personal, but also laidback.

Scraggly Stone

Scraggly stone flooring works well in other rustic spaces, like farmhouse bathrooms. Exposed wood beams, unique craftsman-style windows, and, a farmhouse island make this bathroom feel like something out of a fairy tale. But it's the floors that really create the right foundation.

Romanek Design Studio

Zellige Tiles

Zellige tiles are a great option for anyone who likes the varied, imperfect loo of homemmade clay tiles. This bathroom is the peffect example. This light-filled bathroom by Romanek Design Studio reflects the beauty of the surrounding environment, from the wood-paneled sloped ceiling to the green zellige tiles. Aside from being calming and stylish, the wall-to-wall green tile floor means that basically everything in the room will hold up well when wet.

Wood and Stone Tile

Think outside of the box and use two types of flooring materials! Studio DB used marble hexagonal tiles to protect the hardwood floors in this open concept master bathroom. And while they serve a functional purpose, the partial coverage and angular shapes also make a unique and modern style statement.

Carpeting

Metallic surfaces are a welcome surprise in this farmhouse modern bathroom designed by McLaren.Excel. The swanky custom gold details, industrial matte and concrete materials, and warm wood paneling blends monastic calm with bold design. The thin carpeting connects it to the primary bedroom beyond, and also provides a soft landing for cold feet.

Bathroom floor: 6 finishes

Porcelain tile, quartz vinyl, natural stone and other finishes that are great for finishing the floor in the bathroom.

Shutter Stock

Tiles, laminate, stone, cork, linoleum - today there are many options for flooring. Some of them are better than others for rooms with high humidity and other special characteristics. In this article, we will consider the options for decorating the floor in the bathroom with all the pros and cons of each material.

Which finish should I choose for my bathroom floor? Listed ideas in the video

What floor to make in the bathroom

Selection criteria
Best options
— Tile
– Porcelain stoneware
— Quartzvinyl
— Natural stone
— Moisture resistant laminate
— Self-leveling floor

To understand which flooring to choose for the bathroom, you need to focus on a few key characteristics: Moisture resistance. Since the bathroom is a wet area with high humidity, the floor material should not be afraid of water and any contact with it. Otherwise, the coating may deteriorate, and a fungus can start on or under it. nine0029

  • Durability. This property is important for any finishing material, but especially for the floor in the bathroom. Choose a coating that is guaranteed to last at least a decade so that you do not have to make complex repairs soon.
  • Ease of cleaning. The bathroom requires frequent cleaning, so the floor should be easy to clean and calmly endure regular exposure to various household chemicals.
  • Security. It is important to minimize the risk of slipping after bathing, so the surface should be slightly ribbed or embossed. nine0029

    Pexels

    Let's take a look at a few popular finishes that are best suited for this area.

    Tile

    Ceramic tiles are the classic choice for all wet areas, in particular the bathroom. This material has many advantages and only a few disadvantages.

    Pros
    • Moisture resistance - ceramics are not afraid of direct contact with water, air humidity and steam. She can veneer any part of the bathroom, including a bath or shower. nine0029
    • Durability - on average, tiles serve quietly for 10-15 years, and with proper installation and careful handling, even more. The main thing is to regularly wash the surface, and if mold suddenly appears, get rid of it quickly.
    • Versatility - this applies both to the design of the material itself (there are details of different shapes, sizes, colors, with and without patterns), and the ability to fit it into the interior. The tile will look appropriate in absolutely any style.
    • Easy care - since ceramic is not afraid of water or household chemicals, it is very easy to care for it. For regular cleaning, you only need a rag and any suitable cleaning agent. nine0029
    • Environmental friendliness - ceramic cladding does not contain any harmful or toxic elements, so it is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic and safe for children.
    Cons
    • The main disadvantage of ceramics is its coldness. Stepping on such a surface with bare feet is not very pleasant, especially when you get out of the shower or bath. There are two solutions. More complex - to make a warm floor in the bathroom. The second, simpler and more economical, is to simply lay a bath rug. nine0029
    • Most types of tiles require grouting. They, in turn, become unusable faster than the cladding itself, so they need to be looked after and, if necessary, renew the grout after a while.
    • Another drawback is the relatively difficult installation. In general, you can deal with it on your own, but for reliability, masters are usually called. Also, if the tile has a complex shape or does not fit in size, it will need to be cut.

    Porcelain stoneware

    This material is considered the "big brother" of ordinary tiles and is also very popular for decorating the floor in the bathroom (photo below). The advantages and disadvantages of porcelain stoneware are almost identical to classical ceramics, so it makes no sense to list them separately.

    But there are a few nuances that are important to consider:

    • Porcelain stoneware is characterized by a large format: 45x45 cm, 60x60 cm and more. There are slabs with a side of more than a meter, up to 3 m. Despite the stereotype that only small details should be in a small space, in fact this is one of the main trends of 2023 in bathroom design. nine0029
    • Porcelain stoneware can be laid as standard as tiles, but seamless models are also available. This solves the problem with floor care, but keep in mind that such varieties cost more.
    • The visual variety of this material is slightly less than that of a tile. The design of the slabs mainly imitates various textures: concrete, wood, marble, and other types of stone. The result is a discreet, but noble and visually expensive finish.

    nine0012 Quartz vinyl

    PVC tile (and quartz vinyl is its most popular variety) is very relevant today. This is a modern multi-layer material that has absorbed all the best from traditional tiles, but due to the changed composition, it also eliminates the main disadvantages of ceramics. The composition of quartz vinyl is based on quartz sand, which gives it strength, and a polymer that provides elasticity. The plates consist of five layers, therefore, both in structure and visually, the coating is more like a laminate than a tile. nine0003

    Pluses
    • Wear resistance — due to the complex composition and multi-layering of the quartz vinyl plate, it lasts a long time, is not afraid of sunlight, exposure to chemicals (including aggressive ones), and temperature changes.
    • Moisture resistance - like all types of tiles, the material perfectly tolerates contact with water and high humidity.
    • Unpretentiousness - you can clean PVC tiles in any way: vacuum, wipe with a damp cloth or napkin with a product, walk with a mop. And thanks to the antistatic effect, dust is practically not collected at the joints, which makes cleaning even easier. nine0029
    • Warmth is the main advantage of the material over other similar ones. Unlike tiles or porcelain stoneware, quartz vinyl, like a wooden floor, is tactilely pleasant, it does not require additional heating or a soft coating.
    • Design - visually, PVC tiles look like high-quality laminate, parquet or stone. This allows you to create the atmosphere of a living room in the bathroom and fill the space with natural textures.
    Cons
    • Under this coating, it is necessary to carefully prepare the base so that there are no irregularities, otherwise they will be visible through the plates.
    • Since quartz vinyl is sufficiently elastic, it can eventually sag under the legs of heavy furniture or equipment.
    • Not all types of underfloor heating are suitable for PVC tiles: for example, you cannot use a film one, since the infrared heating can be too strong and thereby damage the plates.

    Natural stone

    Like any natural material, stone is always an expensive pleasure. But if you are looking for premium interior coverage, this is one of the best options.

    Pros
    • Appearance — of course, natural stone looks noble and expensive. It immediately transforms even a small neutral space.
    • Durability - such a floor will last for decades, it is not afraid of mechanical and chemical influences, it is not afraid of high temperature, steam and contact with water. nine0029
    • Safety - for example, unpolished marble does not slip at all when exposed to water.
    Cons
    • The cost is the main and practically the only drawback of the stone.
    • Weight - stone slabs are quite heavy, this must be taken into account, especially if you are decorating a bathroom in a private house.
    • Care - so that the coating does not lose its natural beauty, it must be periodically treated with special compounds and kept clean. nine0029

    ShutterStock

    Moisture Resistant Laminate

    Laminate is definitely not the most obvious option when it comes to deciding which floor to choose for your bathroom. It is believed that this material is suitable exclusively for residential areas, since in itself it really does not like moisture. However, laminate flooring has grades, and some of them are suitable for the hallway, kitchen or bathroom (for example, 33 and 34). Consider the pros and cons of the moisture resistant version of this coating. nine0003

    Advantages
    • Installation is simple: you can actually handle the process of laying the plates yourself, without involving a specialist.
    • This is a fairly inexpensive material that is suitable for budget repairs.
    • Laminate is warm, it is pleasant to walk on it with bare feet even without additional heating.
    • Imitation of wood texture makes the interior more comfortable, the main thing is to choose a coating with a high-quality pattern.
    Cons
    • After all, laminate does not like frequent and direct contact with water, so it is better to lay it in a storage area or, for example, in a separate toilet. And for the shower choose more traditional materials.
    • It is the moisture-resistant coating option that will not be as cheap as the standard one.
    • Most likely, in the bathroom will not last as long as ceramics, quartz vinyl or natural stone.

    nine0012 Self-leveling coating

    Self-leveling floor is a rather unusual finishing option, which is used much less often than tiles or porcelain stoneware, but in fact it is also well suited for a bathroom. Unlike all other finishing materials, this one is not laid out from its component parts, but completely covers the entire floor. The process is similar to concrete pouring, but a self-levelling compound is used, and such a finish is already considered a fine finish.

    Pros
    • Fast work - on average, after pouring the mixture, you can walk on such a floor in a few hours. This is convenient, since you do not need to wait 1-2 days for further work. nine0029
    • Good waterproofing - if the installation is carried out correctly and all seams are well processed, the probability of flooding the neighbors is reduced to zero.
    • Hygienic - Self-leveling floor will definitely not become a haven for mold or fungus, besides, it is easy to wash and clean.
    • Moisture resistance - the material is not afraid of water and temperature changes, which makes it perfect for a bathroom.
    Cons
    • Complicated assembly and dismantling - before pouring the mixture, the surface will need to be carefully prepared. And if later you decide to make repairs and replace the finish, then it will be extremely difficult to remove the frozen mass from the screed. nine0029
    • Coldness - like tiles, self-leveling floor is not very pleasant for walking barefoot. Therefore, you will need heating or a soft mat.
    • High cost - all the work together plus the mixture itself will be quite expensive.

    The bathroom needs to be kept as functional as possible and to make the most of a small space. At the same time, it is important not to forget about the interior. We offer ten useful and effective bathroom decor ideas

    Our day begins and ends in the bathroom, where we spend a lot of time. Making the bathroom not only comfortable, but also beautiful is not an easy task, although it is doable. We have collected interesting tips and solutions, from the simplest to the more complex.

    Top 5 Bathroom Finishes

    Found a solution to the problem of the gap between the bathtub and the wall

    nine0002 An interesting washbasin design is the most obvious way to make a bathroom interior stylish and cozy. When choosing a sink, try to move away from the template and pay attention to unusual options. It can be either round, resembling a bowl, or square, strict geometric shape.

    Think about non-standard solutions in the choice of material - it does not have to be the usual ceramics, metal sinks for high-tech interiors and even crystal for art deco style are no less practical. A lot depends on the placement of the sink - it can be built into a marble countertop or, for example, placed on a wooden cabinet with drawers and niches. nine0003

    With the help of mirrors, even the most modest space can shine in a new light without major repairs. We offer some simple solutions: hang two mirrors symmetrically above the sink at once, or choose two mirrors of different sizes.

    This is very convenient when two people use the bath at the same time. Much depends on the frame - the tree will give coziness and a feeling of closeness to nature, and the mirror mosaic will look elegant and give beautiful highlights when the lamps are on. nine0003

    We often pay too little attention to lighting in the bathroom. As a rule, only one boring ceiling lamp is used as a light source, or at best several standard lamps in the ceiling.

    In fact, you can play with the lighting in the bathroom, just like in other rooms of the apartment or house. If space allows, you can even fit a crystal chandelier into the interior! And fans of minimalism are advised to pay attention to hanging ceiling lamps-cylinders, which are most conveniently placed next to the mirror. nine0003

    Our opinion:

    — Subdued light in the bathroom looks great only in the photo, but in practice it is better to make the lighting quite bright, otherwise the presence of a mirror will simply lose its meaning. But the ideal option is a dimmer switch that controls the intensity of light. So you can take a bath with minimal light, and brighten the light when you need to apply makeup in front of the mirror.

    Another simple and inexpensive option is to think about the position of the towels and the design of the holders. Agree, the usual hooks are already tired. Towels can be placed on a narrow open rack that can fit into even the smallest bathroom. Or equip special hanging baskets in which you can store other necessary things. nine0003

    If you want to optimize the space as much as possible, even the hooks can be made original, for example, placed on a wooden panel, reminiscent of an entrance hall.

    When planning a bathroom renovation, keep in mind that it is the tiles that will form the basis for your interior. To make the space bright and cheerful, choose the appropriate materials. Ornaments and patterns are in fashion now, as well as tiles that look like mosaics and tiles. Tiles of a small size will look great, and there is no need to be afraid of bold color schemes. Still, the bathroom is the first room in the house from which our day begins, and it simply has to cheer you up! nine0003

    Our opinion:

    — For some, the option of bright tiles on the walls may seem too radical. If you are afraid that the pattern will quickly get bored, focus on the floor. Here you can definitely give free rein to your imagination - the combination of plain walls and a floor with an ornament in the bathroom looks fresh.

    If you decide to replace the bathtub with a shower, get creative with the process. Instead of installing a standard cabin, save space by enclosing the shower with floor-to-ceiling glass, as shown in the photo. This decision will make the bathroom visually larger. Glass can also be replaced with hinged doors, and wooden beams can be laid on the floor over the tiles - it is more pleasant and warmer to stand on them. nine0003

    A niche is not only a stylish element of decor, but also an opportunity to maximize the use of storage space. Make small niches in the wall and highlight them with tiles of a different color. Niches are also very functional inside the shower cabin - they can be made of the same tiles as the walls, and inside them it is convenient to store shower cosmetics. Even if the walls in your bathroom are not too wide, a niche can be made shallow, it will still become a noticeable accent in the interior.

    Various flower pots can transform the look of your bathroom. One has only to add a little greenery to the interior, as it will already seem “alive” and environmentally friendly. If the bathroom has a window, you can place plants in pots, but if the room is dark (as is the case in most Russian apartments), use dried flower arrangements or even artificial options - the main thing is that they should be as natural as possible.
