Bathroom flooring

I am planning a bathroom renovation.

But I need some help choosing bathroom flooring. Hate tiles, cant afford underfloor heating. LVT flooring seems limited to wooden floor style which I have elsewhere in my house but i want something different for my bathroom.

What are my other options? Dare I say it like a lino-esque type flooring. I dont want plain as I have plain and dark now (tiles) and I hate it with a vengeance as it shows up every drip and splash.

We have LVT which looks like tiles. It doesn't have to be a wood replica.

I've got marble effect LVT in my ensuite.
There are lots and lots of different effects.
Not a great picture!

Sheet vinyl is great, it's not cold like tiles and also unlike tiles, lvt etc there are no joins for grim to get into and nothing can warp.

I bought a really thick one - 6mm and it's very pleasant underfoot and another benefit is, it was cheaper and if I get bored of it, it's easy to order a new piece and fit it myself.

My friends parents had "statement lino" in their bathroom and I loved it.

I say go for it
After our fucking awful kitchen Lvt I will never touch the stuff again

Look into marmoleum. It is made from sawdust and plant oils and can be sanded if it gets damaged. It is lovely and warm underfoot.
We also had lvt in black and white square tiles for a bathroom once, laid like a checkerboard which was lovely.
