The trend is not new, but it is coming full force in 2017. Hardwood flooring is one of the most beautiful and beloved flooring options out there, but it is not the best choice for a bathroom, that needs a waterproof flooring. To get the wood look and feel but still have a durable option that withstands the daily rigors and that can last for decades while still looking good, wood-like tile is the best choice.
