This is the answer to the question Where do I start when choosing tiles for my house?
Revision 1
I know that initial desperation. Here are a few thoughts on the subject:
1. dark tile often visually "narrows" a space.
2. pay attention to slip resistance in the bathroom.
3. tiles whose color and base are very similar are less noticeable in the event of a defect.
4. very small and very large tiles are more expensive to install.
5. rectangular formats can visually stretch or compress rooms.
6. high abrasion is less important in the bathroom, but important in the entry area.
7. tile looks different in artificial light than in sunlight.
8. also pay attention to the type of laying (gluing) – especially if there are expansion joints in the room to be tiled.
9. in the bathroom is not necessary to tile all the walls and even more so the ceilings.
10. trust the impulse of his building instinct.
11. get ideas from magazines and picture searches on the internet. Vote on what you like and why.
12. many of the tiles have repeating patterns. Think about whether and how much it annoys you.
