I wanted to replace the ceramic tile in my bathrooms, dining room and kitchen with travertine marble.
Someone told me that travertine would be a bad choice since it can stain easily.
I don’t want a ceramic tile that looks cheap. I want something that looks really nice.
Can I find a ceramic tile that looks good, maybe even resembles natural stone?
What is the best flooring for my house? What do you suggest?

Sheet linoleum . I put in kitchen, breadkfast room, downstairs.. it looks like slate, even has a depression in it to simulate the group line BUT no grout to try to keep clean. Armstrong makes good stuff, but I'm sure there are many other manufacturers out there. The secret is getting an installer who knows what they are doing it is worth the price

you should consider porcelin tile rather than ceramic. One is much more recommended for floors than the other and I am fairly certain it is pocelin over ceramic. Where Ceramic is good for counters and bath tiles. Marble is risky because it does stain and doesn't do well if anything like vinegar or wine is spilled on it, it can etch the stone. You can definitley find good tiles that will look good as well as consider designs and accent pieces to improve the appearance - good luck.

Are you disabled? Have you ever been to a store that sells tile? They have plenty that look like natural stone. I would recommend ceramic. Find a local store and go shop. You can view hundreds of different types... even the websites show them.

A person would need to see your decor to answer that. What kind of cabinets do you have, appliances etc.

Stamped Concrete.
I know what you're thinking, but check into it. You might be surprised what they can do.
Good luck!
