Default Tile on bathroom floors

what kind of tile would you suggest i use for a bathroom floor that would be
getting wet? (stepping out of a shower)... i only have about a 4ft X 4ft
area to do in each bathroom. i'd like something that isn't slippery of
course when someone steps out wet.

thank you

I'd suggest you just go with a smooth tile and use a rubber backed bath
mat. A smooth tile makes cleaning the floor much easier.

With a floor area that small it's no problem to land a foot on the mat
when stepping out of the shower.

HTH,

We went with a smooth (non-porous) tile that has a surface texture. It's
easy to clean, but isn't slippery at all, when wet.
