Generally larger tile are used for the floor (8" to 16" wide tile) . Any floor in a house can be tile but usually its the bathroom and the kitchen.

Smaller tile such as mosaic, 1", 2", 4", and 6 " are used for walls (especially around a shower). Kitchen and bathroom counters can be tiled also.

Very large tiles up to 24" wide are sometime used for outdoor patios and living room floors, often made of cut stone.

This is a general rule of thumb. Any size tile can be used anywhere in the house and often is where you would least expect it.
