The first thing you do is order nonskid porcelain tile. The design of porcelain tile is solid though out tile, and very hard, so chipping is less noticeable. I feel the most important part of doing it in the location you mentioned is installation. First make sure you have a very qualified installer and making sure your existing concrete floor is fairly level. A good installer can make the difference in job. Leaving hollow spots in installation, will cause cracks in tile. Use the recommended grout and cleaner and you will be a very happy homeowner. To check job yourself that it’s done properly on installation tap with you hand knuckles, so it has a solid sound, any hollow sounds have installer replace. Good luck
