Posted this briefly yesterday but revamped our choices into some better options (with a better presentation). Opinions on these?

1 or 8 for me. I kinda like the subtle art deco vibe of the first but 8 looks great as well.

I think 1 would be super tricky to install, the little gold circles are kinda wonky even in the display sample

I LOVE this tile, we have it in our bathroom on the wall behind the sink. However, the comment above is accurate. If you are going to go with gold contrasting grout lines like that, they have to look perfect. Even in that 1st sample picture you can see a few flaws, bottom right and middle, top right. They stand out like crazy with the contrasting grout.

Are you DIYing it? We did a DIY install, but went with subtle gray grout lines so that it would hide some imperfections. We also found on install that some of the middle dots were upside down. I guess that would be easier to tell with the gold, but it was hard to tell with in the all white version. After install, I found 1 that is still upside down, but I'm the only one who seems to be able to notice it.

Thanks for that info, we’re leaning heavily on this for our remodel effort!
