Builders "buy" the job- the tile contractor is the one doing the buying. And the more he buys, the bigger the discount (on materials). They still have to have the "right bid" to get the work!
Regardless of who actually does the buying, the reason and the end result are the same.
If I walked into a house and saw all that the same, my first thought would be "Must have gotten a deal on that tile.". But you are the one who is living with it, so do it how you like it.
I used different materials in each room as I remodeled them but they are all pretty much the same color. Corian in the kitchen, quartz in the hall bath, cultured marble in the master bath and tile in the laundry room.
We are currently in the middle of buying a home and none of the tiles match inour potential new home. The kicthen is different from the master bathroom which is different from the guest bathroom and thatis also different from the jack n jill bathroom n i like it that way.
If everything looks the same thhen imo it would be too boring.
Oh gosh no, not unless you're absolutely in love with it, and even then I'd change up the backsplash. I think the fun in it is making each space a little bit different. Unless you were using bright green in one space, purple in another etc. your flow would be just fine.(some people can even pull that off by using another common color!) Each room can feel a little bit different.
I think this trend started basically from new builds. Builders buy in bulk and use the same materials as much as possible, so the idea started that baths and kitchens need to match. I prefer each room to have its own personality. What it really boils down to is what you prefer.
Agreed. I see absolutely 0 reason to match them myself.
My kitchen and three bathrooms have completely different types of countertops, tile, materials (slate/porcelain/marble/granite/quartz) metal finishes, cabinet woods, colors and design themes and yes, they are all beautiful and interesting and go perfectly well with my vintage home's original, inspiring architecture
A new house built by a builder has this. If you are redoing the spaces, it really is your choice. We re did our baths at separate times. One of the baths had totally different cabinets, and the second had similar cabinets to the remodeled kitchen. The sinks were cultured marble, so obviously they were not made of the same material as the kitchen countertops.
I'd try to make the surfaces functional to you, and aesthetically pleasing as well. I don't think there is a wrong or right.
No. I have dark granite in the kitchen, and light cultured marble in the bathrooms. Bathroom cabinets are white, kitchen cabinets are dark.
I wanted my bathrooms to be light and airy. The kitchen materials would have been way too dark.
