Why are you so anti- home Depot? It's not like the tiles are labeled with where they're from so everyone will see. Tiles are tiles. If they have the ones you liek, but them.

Are you worried about quality or that they may not be in style?
No clue on quality but they look just fine to me. I like the second one you showed best.

When I redid my living room floor I brought my tiles at Lowes.
They still look great after 5 years.

Im worried about the quality of Home Depot tiles. It will be a very expensive job.

Look at the mil-how thick the tile will be
9 mil is junk, most tile stores will sell you 12 mil-see what Home Depot has

You need a really really good take setter to do the herringbone pattern you want as it is hard to execute well and a medicare tile setter will have an abominable result.
Herringbone is beautiful pattern. I love it done in wood as well.
There are lots of looks beyond fake marble - FWIW.
Terrazzo tile is making a comeback and I used terrazzo tile as part of the design of my balcony.
You might think about whether you want a stark white floor as it is completely unforgiving in terms of the least bit of schmootz.

I researched tile installers well.

Yes I've seen very dirty white tiles in very fancy kitchens. Thats why I love parquet pattern. It has a grain. It has more pattern in it than the marble look that you see in every kitchen and in every store these days.

the labor for any design other than straight/staggered is much more time consuming and requires more cutting of the tiles.
check how much more it will cost you before you decide on the design

I don't understand this response
Parquet is a pattern which is typically geometric.
The tiles themselves aren't parquet - they are fake marble or white or a color or pattern.
Pure white wouldn't be effective in a herringbone or parquet pattern because the beauty of the design of herringbone or parquet is that the grain or pattern provides part of the design.
The first picture looks like wood tiles. There are tiles that look like wood which some people opt for because they have the advantage of tile maintenance but have more of the look of wood.

I have tiles from home depot in a high traffic hallway its been ten years and they are doing fine. Its in the installation. I have tiles from an expensive tile shop that are nice and thick but have hairline cracks and chipped edges from poor installation. Please use a person who can install well.

I think you mean Chevron (zig zag) design is geometric. To me, Parquet only means tiles with a wood grain.

I wouldn’t recommend white, even a look with graining, because it will most likely only look good with white grout, and that’s just asking for black grout after a few weeks.

That makes sense. White grout is the worst to maintain.
But all those white marble look tiles that everone sells and buys, what color grout do they use?
Cant the grout thats used on parquet tiles, be the same color as the grain, and not white, the background of the tile?

If you buy tiles from Home Depot and have someone else install you won't have a warranty. Because Home Depot can blame the installation and the installer can blame Home Depot. Can the local stores order in what you want?
