Marble is a stone too and there aren't any rules towards mixing stones apart from that they look properly collectively. Please do not get a high gloss finish on a lavatory ground. It's a broken neck ready to appear.
With that said, few things are extra superb in a lavatory than natural stone floors. Since you are stressed approximately patterns and shades, visit a reputable tile or natural stone showroom and look at what is to be had. Then communicate to a fashion designer.
And for the affection of God already, sufficient with the resale worries. That's so 2007.

Help! Is stone-look laminate in a kitchen tacky? I even have old tile that might be a real ache to do away with and am told I may want to go with the flow a laminate over it? The relaxation of the residence has one hundred yr antique wood flooring so I do not want to put wood laminate down (too obviously fake). What do you believe you studied?
Madam, you've already provided me with the answer for your query. Yes, stone-appearance laminate is tacky tacky cheesy. Especially while paired with 100-yr-vintage wooden flooring. Despite the pain concerned, dispose of the old ground properly and have a new ground mounted that fits the first-class of the flooring in the course of your property. The road to hell isn't always paved with top intentions, it's paved with brief cuts.
