What colour of floor tiles are easiest to keep clean?

[SASASI]

Rennovating a house to move into next year.

Current house is all beige / cream tiles or kearndean flooring. I admit I'm house proud but I see every spec on them. Not to mention re-painting the white grout 3/4 times a year!!

I want sthing easy to keep clean instead of wasting family time cleaning. Might get a cleaner once a month when I go back to work (off on maternity leave) but I will still be cleaning inbetween.

Bathrooms will be white suites & I'm planing on a cream kitchen with dark grey granite - or is a cream kitchen stupid with children?!

What do you all find is easy to keep clean in your homes?

We had granit look mid grey textured ceramic tiles in our last kitchen. You could never see anything on them, except tomato .

Worst ever was black and white chequerboard in a student house years ago.

Granite

My kitchen is cream, it's absolutely fine to keep clean - but needs not to be a shiny finish, they show every fingerprint. Don't know about floor tiles but if you go for wood/laminate then I can highly recommend the warm maple shade I've got. Worktop - dark granites can be unforgiving, we got a flecked quartz mix which doesn't show up the odd toast crumb,

I have dark green/grey metallic tiles with grey grout in my bathroom and green-ish with bits of brown and orange with grey grout in my kitchen.

I would not say they are easy to clean (I clean them on my hands and knees) but they are very forgiving if I have not been diligent at cleaning them.

We don't wear shoes in the house and have no pets, which helps too.

My bathroom tiles are beautiful. They were from Tau Ceramica.

I was thinking grey but DH says we'll end up with too much grey (my fav colour) will have to show him this thread!
Good call re not gloss kitchen, they aren't really my style anyway!

The grout is grey btw - do not have white grout with floor tiles!

We hv cream tiles with grey grout in our kitchen. A quick mop keeps it clean.

I made the mistake of cream grout in the bathroom. It looked grubby from day 1. Although that was due to the plumber not covering the newly tiled floor whilst drilling holes to fit the toilet.

Totally agree re white / cream grout - the hrs I've wasted painting it 3/4 times a yr is stupid & I just won't be doing it now we've a baby!

Another with grey granite kitchen floor tiles with grey grouting. We've been in the new house since 5th Sept and I keep forgetting to clean the floor and it really looks fine with a quick sweep. I'm very impressed! (also the tiles are super shiny and still don't seem to show too much - the black granite countertop is another issue though...)

Ours are a brown/cream/beige marble effect tile, we have grey grouting and they rarely look dirty unless someone spills tomato on them. I think they look good because no tile is the same so dirt doesn't interrupt the pattern. I have a dog, a toddler and our kitchen backs out onto a huge playing field so they do tend to have a lot of traffic.

I have had six houses and two had timber laminate, two had vinyl floor and two had ceramic tiles. Wood was the best choice by far in the living areas but make sure it is the hardest you can afford.
