What goes with Moroccan floor tiles?

[Chuckle17]

Other than white metro tiles, which is all I'm seeing in pictures online.

It's for a new bathroom. The floor is black and white Moroccan tiles. I like metro tiles but wouldn't ordinarily choose them in white. I have been searching online for ideas but am coming up with nothing.

I'd say any simple white tile- doesn't have to be rectangular but if you introduce another pattern I think you're going to lose the impact.

I have beigey grey (greige?!) flush metro tiles. Just so happened to match one of the colours in the Moroccan floor tiles we have. Am very pleased with it.

I think you have to go fairly neutral with a statement floor.

pic of floor?

Agree with neutral and plain - you need the floor to be the focus. We have plain white shower board (rather than tile) and white sanitary wear so the floor really stands out. I love that patterned tiles are back in.

The floor is going to be these tiles:

We are also having the vanity unit and tall cupboard from this pic, but no bath just a walk in shower.

Would metro tiles this colour be too much?

[justdontevenfuckingstart]

Yes totally (is it all BCT?) don't put a riven tile with a honed. They clash in this case.

[Chuckle17]

BCT?

Definitely a white tile. Maybe quite large ones or some unusual shape maybe like white hexgon (either the tiny mosaic ones or bigger ones) or I saw some nice rhombus shaped ones the other day. If you don't want white grout then use a very light grey instead. Not dark grey as it'll become too grid-like next to that floor.

[Chuckle17]

Maybe it would look better if the floor tiles were grey rather than black?

[VeuveVera]

Either of these?

The last set of tiles are too busy (also the stone ones look impossible to keep clean. The grey and white tile gives off a softer vibe that could work with the colored metro.

[wowfudge]

Actually I think the soft green would work and stop it looking too clinical. I do think that you need a simple, clean tile with straight edges and nothing with a rustic finish.

[TheGirlOnTheLanding]

Personally, although the green tile is gorgeous, I think it's too much with the Moroccan tiles. I found something similar on Pinterest (it's a larger tile rather than subway but green with a patterned floor). If white is too clinical, grey or black (or a combination) would also work (see second pic) but for me the plainer the walls the more the tiles can wow you.

[Chuckle17]

Thanks everyone!

So do you all think the grey floor tiles nicer than the black?

[TheGirlOnTheLanding]

I like both so would pick based on what I preferred for the walls - dramatic black and white if going with white or black for the walls, softer grey if I preferred grey walls.

[watchingitallagain]

I like them both but forced to choose I'd pick the grey I think.

[Chuckle17]

Just seen the grey ones in my local cafe Nero 😂

We have jazzy grey floor tiles like that and plain ones on the walls. Will post pics later

[notbobmarley]

We have the burnt orange version of the floor tiles same grey units and white metro on the walls. All looks lovely together.

[notbobmarley]

Also if you have a bit of wall that needs painting you could introduce colour there. A bit less commitment

[Chuckle17]

Ooh yes please do post pics!

[YorkshireTea86]

I'd go for the grey ones and then a pale grey flat metro tile.
