I used to live in Sweden, having the same tiles in the bathroom and kitchen would be a no-no. Norm is white tiles (usually linoleum on the floor) in bathrooms and something else in the kitchen. Some kitchens only have tiles behind the sink area, like my mom's - the tiles are actually white but there's so few you don't think 'bathroom' when you see them. I never really thought of the tiles stuff but as much as I recall, I haven't come across a kitchen and bathroom with the same floor and/or complete wall tiles during the 14 years I lived there. I have probably come across linoleum being the same all through a house, usually older and not recently renovated. Eh, I think people are quite conscious about their houses and put a lot of thought when renovating. A friend of mine would probably rather die than have the same tiles in her two bathrooms.
Thanks, I'll try the magic light thing.
I don't think I've ever even seen a kitchen here with tiled floors.

Pfft. My mother had her lounge tiled (made for easier cleaning, as she has a long-haired dog). I thought it was odd when she told me what she was going to do but it's turned out looking lovely. What is this tile fascism?
witch:
You know, when I was slapping down the floor tiles in this pretend dollhouse I've built, it never ever occurred to me that the tiles would come up for discussion. It's really interesting to discover the strength of people's opinions over what should go where on a floor. I don't think we've established that there are trends by country but I'm guessing there may be accepted practices by socio-economic status.
See, if I could afford tiles in real life, I would happily buy a job lot and tile all the rooms with plumbing in the same style. This conversation has obviously saved me from a dreadful faux pas when I get rich.
Or am I wrong about the rich? Do the poor feel the same about their lino?

^Don't be silly. The rich use marble.

And people told me off for arguing about wood burning stoves!
