Daily Delight: Wild Tile Floor
I’m not what you’d call a minimalist. In fact, I subscribe to the whole “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing” philosophy when it comes to design. Which is why this Danish home’s funky floor is so appealing to me.

This festival of zig zag and highlighter colors feels like a giant Missoni print translated from textile into tile. The real genius is that everything else is kept simple, so the floor gets to glow against dramatic black cabinets and stark white walls. What do you think? Do you love a bright, bold statement like this on floors? Or does it feel too Saturday Night Fever-ish for you?
I love it! If it was on the walls, it would drive me crazy. But I love the chevron with those bold colors on the floor!
It's AWFUL!!! You have unusual taste. Can't say I agree with anything I've seen of yours on this site.
I love the color, too. It would only work for me if it was used the way it is in the photo – with plain, white walls and black cabinetry. No other (color) distractions. Is there a pattern? Or is it random? I can't tell.
That floor would certainly wake you up in the morning! How coincidental that a couple of weeks ago I found this interesting bathroom using multi-colored woodgrain porcelain floor tiles on a wall behind the bath tub:

I like the fact that they used the same tile in a neutral grey for the floor, and that surrounding surfaces are grey or silvery or white in color, to let this wall really stand out!
Whoa, neat find! I can't believe those tiles are porcelain. It reminds me of this chest I spotted the other day. The black contrast gives it a Lichtenstein-feeling.
That chest is amazing — it almost looks like the same designer came up with both the chest and the floor tiles!
That's pretty awesome, providing it's kept to a small room!
This design is great! Zigzags and stripes are great choices for any residential or commercial area!! For anyone interested, here's a link to an article about stripes and some sample pics: http://www.pnpcraftsmen.com/blog-0/bid/66709/Get-…
I would love this flooring in my bathroom. It's so much fun! It may not work in every space, but it surely has a place.
I love love love these tiles. Love. Did I mention I love it?
We're design sisters from different misters, Marianne.
i LOVE the floor! so fun & funky. perfect for a powder room!!
Looks fabulous in a photo — but — I think I would get tired of this really, really quick. It would be an expensive regret.
I love it. It's the most amazing floor I've ever seen! But it MUST be used in the minimalist manner pictured. Thank you for featuring it.
I love it! It really looks like a close up of an Art Deco stained glass window!
like the design-color is a little bold for me
Love it! The angles the pattern makes reflect the angle of the mirror/ceiling – makes it work even better.
Where can you buy these tiles?
