Many years ago, DH and I laid tile in the entry way of our home. If we could do it, you can too. We bought our tile from a local tile/floor store. We got instruction there too, if memory serves. I imagine YouTube has videos about how to do this.

I do advise you to stay away from light color grout.

It is fairly strenuous work.

I lije the idea of laying vinyl plank flooring in your kitchen.

To me this beautiful tile is not suitable for flooring, although I think one pic shows some tile on a floor. To get the look, you would need to use light color grout. Light color grout on a floor sounds like a nightmare cleaning issue to me.

For floors, use tile that has some texture, for safety, and plan on using a colored grout so you don't have to spend time scrubbing grout!

I also don't like mosaic tiles for flooring.

In my opinion, this beautiful tile may not be suitable for flooring. While it may look appealing in some pictures, using light-colored grout on the floor could pose cleaning challenges. For safety reasons its better to choose tiles with texture and opt for colored grout to minimize the need for scrubbing. Additionally I prefer not to use mosaic tiles for flooring.

Interesting point, Sophia G.
Were you searching for keyword tile of what? You've replied to a few posts that were last commented several years ago ( this one like 4, the other like 100 or more?)
Some points are always valid, but products sure do change along with tastes.
