We are demo-ing because the pink tiles are plastic and falling off. There is mold growing behind the tiles. I ordered pink tiles for the tub surround and we are keeping the pink tub! My husband dislikes terrazzo and I dislike black. This is a painted stencil floor. Knowing that, what floor would you choose for a pink bathroom?

- โMaybe honor the hex pattern and do an updated, larger format in white?โ
- โYou could do polished concrete. But heat the floors:)โ
- โWhite subway with the pink. Or get new white hexagons. Keep it simple. Please keep the sink too. Super cute.โ
- โIโd just recreate the existing floor. You should be able to through Daltileโฆor do it yourself. Keep the vanity/counter if you can. Iโd leave the walls drywall and paint pink or wallpaper. Iโve also thought of cheap white 4ร4 and then a border of the pink, wallpaper or paint the top 1/2. Good luck! Iโm with you on the black and white. I wouldnโt be apposed to terrazzo.โ
- โI think you could use a complementary color and it would look just as cool!! You said you donโt like black; what about charcoal grey, mint green, or navy blue?.โ
- โMatching the pink could be tough. I might just go with white small hex. clean and simple and in the spirit of what was there originally.ย โ
- โWhat about slate? You can pick up the pinks from the tub with it, it avoids black, and isnโt terrazzo? My sisters 1963 home had it in the master bath and foyer so it is period correct.โ
- โCork. We love it in our bathroom. Comes in various colours Warm. Doesnโt show the dirt or hairs! Been absolutely perfect and we chose it to keep with the mid century era.โ
