Have you gone to a store that just does tiles? They will have the most options for you.

Is this for a shower floor or wall application?

Great apartment. I would agree with the previous comment about getting an interior designer on board, preferably one whom will pass on their trade discounts! I also agree with other comments re zoning, scale etc. I'd also decide what you want to do with the kitchen before looking at the rest of the room as it's a little awkward. I don't know if it would be possible to get a flue in the roof for a suspended log burner? Alternatively which I prefer (but would get a render done first!) is to have a double sided bioethanol fireplace finished in a polished plaster to add texture. I'm not sure what the 5 doors/panels are but could they be covered in a leather/shagreen leather again for texture and interest. You're lacking walls to add art so you could look at suspending double sided art from the ceiling (last pic just to give an idea!) or add sculptures on plinth/s or an art rug (if in budget Knots rugs do some fantastic ones). I'd also look at adding pendant lights. I'd also go for the same style blinds to what they have in place now. If you add lots of textures elsewhere then curtains aren't really needed and I'm not sure they'd enhance such a great feature. Perhaps look into solar window film to make the light more bearable and prevent fading? Does the balcony wrap around as potted plants would also add privacy?

Personally I think you have to do some research. Getting cheap tiles on the wall probably isn’t your goal it is probably getting the look right and on a budget. Find a look you like and then see how to replicate it cost effectively. Often I find this is best achieved by doing some legwork, you will probably find that you can get what you want from two independent suppliers and then it’s worth negotiating to see if you can get a better deal by buying it all from one place. Remember there are some cost efficiencies to using the same thing in more than one room as there is less wastage. But remember the goal should be to get it looking great- an example of this is that there are two apartments on my street with almost identical layouts, both have been renovated but the taste level and quality of finish is different. The better apartment quickly sold, the poorly finished one probably cost a couple of thousand less to renovate but remains on the market many months later, now for £40,000 less.

Shortly after moving into a new build our kitchen and utility tiles started to sound hollow when walking on them. When the tilers came to lift the tiles [each 200mm x 100mm] they came up in sheets of around 20 to 30 tiles at once. The concrete floor was clearly not prepared before the originals were laid and the tiles had simply not keyed onto the floor. The tilers cleaned and sealed the floor [not sure what with... but the whole job was done in one day, so nothing too time consuming] and the new tiles have now been down for nearly 29 years with no problems.

Daltile/American Olean make 1" hex porcelain tile in many colors. I don't know its thickness, but it is high quality tile that they have been making for many years.

I second the Daltile suggestion. They make 1" penny rounds, as well.
