    In our current bathroom we have vinyl flooring and tiled walls. The guys who did it put skirting along the bottom of the wall. I didn't question it, but thinking back to previous houses, we've had vinyl floor meeting wall tiles with nothing in between. Neither way seemed wrong when you looked at it.

    In my bathroom there is silicone sealant where the tiles meet to vinyl floor. It looks fine and is lasting well

    I ran a bead of silicone sealant around the edge.

    If you get a sealant tool it's quite easy to do yourself and still get a good finish - for getting a good finish these things are truly excellent, forget using your finger.

    This sort of thing but kits with more tools, with different bead profiles available:
