Tiles in your own house

[Peter]

What sort of tiles would you/have you put down in your own house?

Moving somewhere new in a week or two and keen to tile the hall kitchen and sunroom straight away as there's tired laminate throughout. Just can't decide on what to go with. I had thought about honed crema marfil limestone/marble or 800x800 porcelain, the good lady wife would like polished marble. Head is wrecked on which to pick. Probably about 40m in total so not a huge area. Any ideas for something fairly special?

Surprisingly hard to pick in your own house. Last house was just done with whatever the supplier had end of line but would like to do this one properly.

Ive been thinking of doing my bathroom in polished marble or just trav. Marble would look nice down. Just a shame your not getting paid for fitting quality tiles

I think we should have a ''lets see the tillers bathrooms'' threads... would be good to see if those bad cuts you 'would never have in your house' are actually really there haha

Did mine about 18 months ago, well pleased with it. Took 3 weeks in total but it was good to go back to work and earn some filthy lucre.

Did my shower room last year, its nice but after going to see the large format tiles at Rays last week I wish I could have used them.

I used 1mx0.5m semi-polished porcelain om my walls and floor, same tile. Glad I waited cos we'd been looking round for ages trying to find what we wanted.
