What type of bathroom floor do you have?

[cupcakes]

We discovered a leaking pipe under our bath last night and subsequently had a plumber round this morning. In light of this we have now finally had the incentive to replace the old carpet that's been there since we moved in.
Don't think we want carpet again. The room is pale yellow with the bath and units clad in white tongue and groove.
So what do you have and what do you think would look good?

We have tiles on the floor in the bathroom. Infact they are the same tiles that are used on the walls too - in a very pale beige colour.

Definitely wouldn't get carpet for bathroom.

We have Karndean in light oak - rest of bathroom is white.

Limestone tiles in one (cold in winter, if I had done them would have put underfloor heating in for sure)

Oak in the other, lovely.

we ripped out the carpet when we moved in and replaced it with large off white rough surfaced tiles. Better grip for slippery kids

I have a beech laminate flooring effect lino, the rest of the bath is white.

Wooden floor in mine

we have tiffany-blue tongue-and-groove, white walls and pale grey lino on the floor (not squares, a big expanse). i like it very much, warm, easy to clean, great colour, but if we were doing it again i'd go for a more mottled variant for practical reasons: more forgiving of marks left by splashes of viakal etc.

I love the idea of a wooden floor - how do you seal it? Or have you not found moisture and splashes a problem?

bakedpotato - yours sounds lovely. We had lino in our past house but I didn't really like the patterns available. Grey sounds good though.

KARNDEAN

Wooden floor is varnished - done before I moved here. It does have attractive hair dye stains on it however (and those are mine)

Those of you with tiles - are they very cold and do the children slip over when wet?

Plain blue carpet - though might change it for laminate when we decorate the vile place later this year.
Quite like carpet though - find hard surfaces a bit cold on the tootsies.

large white tiles with tiny green ones in between for a diamond effect. V nice.

About to get our bathroom done with Marmoleum , which is a modern take on lino, available in pretty much any colour and design option you like. It's an all-natural product, wipe-clean and warm and soft underfoot.

We're going for a bluey-grey mottled colour.

What is Karndean? Is it posh lino?

No, our tiles don't feel cold and they aren't slippy either. They have more of a matt finish than a shiny one - so maybe it is the fnish that determines if slippy or not???

Must be. I like the sound of lou33's 'rough' tiles!

just about to do ours we decided on a wooden floor quite darl white suite stone tiles Had tiles in last house I loved them but dp and ds thought they were too cold

meant quite dark!

laminate in the minimal splash zone (our ensuite) and karndean in the very wet splash zone (kids bathroom)

we got teh rough feeling type so they didn't slip. esp important with ds2, and my dodgy knee.

Frogs is the Marmoleum expensive as we'd like to re-do bathroom & ensuite to replace grubby'ish carpet 'cos we're putting house up for sale. Don't want to spend too much as we've other things to do & we'll only get the benefit for a few months (fingers crossed).
