Outdoor Or textured tiles certainly can be used inside provided it’s the right setting or area, for instance a laundry or smaller bathroom and en-suite... you just need the right cleaning equipment such as a sponge mop rather than a soft mop head and a good quality stone and tile cleaner. AquaKleen is a great brand. You’ll achieve a much more natural stone feel underfoot much like a natural stone ... with little to no slip or shine. Many people do use them and suppliers can shy away from recommending however they are completely fine to use indoors with the right equipment to clean.

Interesting range of comments - Is it that there is a general shift towards an industrial trend? Topic is far too close for comfort, as I have a bathroom being tiled in a couple of days, have had tiles for a couple of months now, so doubt does set in!! A while back I probably thought I would go towards a traditional look, but looks like I have moved towards the industrial - which the family are fully supportive of - young adults and husband. Our home is . . . transitional, though I hesitate labelling it. Also these images make me wonder if a cool grey is a more traditional look and a warm grey more representative of an industrial look or modern look? These are my tiles: Left pale grey/white for ensuite floor and walls, with white cabinetry work, centre mid grey for family bathroom & laundry floor, with white cabinetry work, right mid grey to darker grey for a large open plan area of kitchen/dinning/small sitting area. They all feature flecks of whites, greys, taupes, even tans and blue greys.

Yes, I was hoping that they would post photo on here, as they have a lot of beautiful bathrooms on this site, but it is a recent one, so they havent posted yet and I think they will be closed over this period, when a lot of sales are on...I have sold my car yesterday and so now have the funds to finally get my bathroom reno progressed...yay!

I'd say a charcoal -- you don't want anything too white or grey IMO , or it will be overpowering in an underwhelming way , and most other tones either clash or will look cold , or both .
