Kitchen Tiles, 12" vs 16"

[Doug S.]

Hello All,

I am remodeling my condo in Chicago with the intention of renting it out in a couple of months. It is only 650 sq ft and the kitchen is about 70 sq ft.

My questions is, which size floor tiles should I use, 12 inch or 16 inch? I heard 12 inch may be a little outdated, but I am concerned that putting in 16 inch tiles won't look good since my kitchen is so small. Cost is the same for each size tile and the 12 inch tile definitely looks better than the 16 inch in terms of design (although they are both technically the 'same' style of tile).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am just worried about putting in tiling that is outdated.

Thanks!
