I have gloss tiles in my laundry. They tend to scratch if someone walks a stone in and are extra slippery if water is spilt. It depends on how gloss you are talking about. Matt tiles can look a bit flat but they don't show dirt, dust as much. I just went with a semi gloss in my bathroom. The really matt ones all looked like outdoor tile to me. It would also depend on the colour. I am using black so very matt tiles looks too grey.

If the vinyl is already a gloss black then stick to gloss, if it is a matt then semi-gloss is best

Gloss finished laminate benchtops do wear and scratch faster than matt benchtops. Most manufacturers do not recommend that you use gloss laminate for horizontal surfaces for this reason. Laminex Industries have a range called "Diamond Gloss" which has a limited range of colours and patterns that they claim are suitable for horizontal surfaces. http://www.laminex.com.au/uploads/brochures/Laminex%20Diamond%20Gloss%20Brochure.pdf They look good in the photos, but they still feel like a laminate to the touch, and they don't fool anybody due to the dark edging. If your budget limits you to a laminate benchtop it is better to go with a solid colour in a matt, otherwise the imitation stone just looks fake and cheap.

Hi there, tiles on the floor of a bedroom? It sounds a bit cold underfoot unless you are having underfloor heating installed, but then perhaps you are renovating in warmer climes than where I live! I would recommend going for a matte or satin finish in the bedroom as the gloss could look a little sterile.also If you have a connecting ensuite, you wouldnt want to run the risk of slipping on the floor if you have wet feet :o
