Bioessenze Faux Wood Porcelain Tiles by Lea Ceramiche

Porcelain isn't a material we'd typically associate with faux wood, but this winner convinced us otherwise. Long tile planks printed with a wood grain make a very tough floor that looks as if it were made of hardwood. Great for areas where water might make caring for real wood a headache—and where guests can get a good look.
