Geometric Pattern Bathroom Floor in Mid-City

A bathroom floor replacement in a Mid-City Craftsman bungalow, using a black and white geometric patterned porcelain tile. The homeowner was renovating the bathroom incrementally and wanted a floor that would anchor the space before the vanity and mirror were upgraded.

The geometric pattern has a repeating interlocking circle motif that requires very precise layout — any deviation from the center point compounds across the field and becomes visible at the perimeter. We snapped working lines from the exact center of the room and dry-laid the full floor before setting a single tile. The existing subfloor had a low spot near the toilet that required self-leveling compound before the cement board went down. The grout is a mid-grey that reads as a neutral between the black and white elements of the tile pattern.
