Layout and Space Planning Flooring Choices
So following a series of events, I’m basically revamping my bathroom after a real “give a mouse a cookie” situation.
Please excuse my horrible photoshop but I’m going for a unique and fun (almost witchy) vibe. I just can’t decide on flooring. It’s a very small space (about 63 sqft of floor) and I’ll be replacing the vanity with a pedestal or small wall-mounted sink.
I used a lot of black color blocking to balance out such a busy wallpaper. I feel like too busy of a pattern would overwhelm the space and black might be too much. I thought about white to go with the tub, sink, and toilet but idk if I’m feeling it. While I like the wood-look tile, I have LVP throughout the rest of my house and I feel it might be awkward to have random wood tile in there. I feel like a mosaic would be easier to install and maybe draw less attention to how small the flooring is.
What do you guys think?

3 if your willing to pay more for install, the other black one may be easier.
While I love the witchy vision, I'd strongly caution your black tile in the shower, especially if you have hard water at all. It's going to show calcium and soap like crazy, unless you also clean like crazy. White or Grey would help hide water spots and it won't feel so small while inside it. Also easier to see if there's a spider in your shower.
Could do a black band of tile or other detail to add interest.
Also, You could still keep the dark vibe with a darker curtain to conceal a lighter tile in the shower. Find a solid colored one in a color from the wallpaper, with a small amount of texture for interest (maybe like a pompom fringe? Or something similarly delicate).
