Advice about floor tile for this bathroom remodel

Hi, I'm remodeling my first of three bathrooms. I'm using emerald green 8 x 3 hand painted ceramic subway tile seen here:


I've chosen this midcentury vanity:



round mirror/medicine cabinet:


pendant lights next to mirror:



and finally, for showerhead and faucets:


So my question is: we are doing a black/white checkered pattern (diagonal) on the floor. We have looked at 12 x 12 marble, which is high gloss, some variation (a little speckled in the black and veins in the white). I am thinking that a better choice may be encaustic tile in solid black and white (probably would be 8 x 8 which could be even better because it's a very small bathroom. Given the tiles, vanity, fixtures, etc - would you go with a high gloss marble or a flat cement for the floor?

Also, the pendant lights are also available in white. The shower head and sink faucet are white and chrome and so I thought white pendant lights would be too matching. I decided to add a touch of black with the pendants which will hang in front of the green tiles. Do you think this is the right way to go?

Thanks in advance for any opinions and/or suggestions.

Amy
