Vinyl flooring in bathrooms is a very sensible option, since it is easy to wipe down and clean, particularly around the toilet basin, where it is preferable to carpet. It is also warmer and softer than stone tiles, where the grouting can crack if laid on a floor of wooden floorboards, due to minor movements. Stone mosaic tiles have been used on the wall of the shower cubicle, to tie in the colour-coordinated theme and interior design of the room.
