Try Terrazzo

This bathroom introduces terrazzo flooring, a traditional material that's reemerged as modern. Designer Sarah Sherman Samuel created a geometric pattern on the floor that would pair well with the green tiles, and its gold grout matches the surrounding fixtures.

Quartz countertops, especially in a lighter finish, do double-duty to modernize a bathroom and provide a low-maintenance surface. Quartz is easy to clean and resists scratching and staining—in other words, the material is perfect for areas that get a lot of traffic, like the bathroom.
