vinyl tiles for bathroom - good idea? or painted wood?

My bathroom has wooden flooring, but covered in about a million layers of orange varnish. it is vile. Something needs to happen, but I am (a) broke, and (b) DIY-challenged.

What would be a stylish solution that would be quick, cheap, suitable for messy children? I'm thinking maybe vinyl tiles, perhaps in a plain colour or a classic white with black diamond pattern? Are vinyl tiles terribly naff? Is it expensive to get them fitted? Can you put them straight on a wooden floor or does it need some kind of underlay?

What would be my alternatives? I briefly considered sanding back and painting or revarnishing, but is wood really a good idea in a bathroom?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks Jacaqueen. I rather like the idea of a pale grey floor...
