I look this as my inspiration. True, mine is a lot bolder pairing.

paul, we all answered you on your other post. you don't believe us?? lol

I know you want very badly to combine these two. don't.

for one thing, that slab is thick. you need something thinner to put on the shower walls.

Like this. these are large, porcelain panels for the shower. much thinner.

and, trying to cut that black granite slab you have shown so that the pattern remains cohesive, very difficult. you'd need book-matched slabs so that the pattern is smooth:

And really, it's just way too busy and too expensive to do that. They do make XL porcelain tiles that you can use on your shower walls. (some as large as 60 X 120" )

see below for a few links.

If you wanted to use it for the vanity top, I still wouldn't pick that slab.

That pic above is a quartz or a marble that looks like pietro gray.

you could find a tile, a large tile, for the shower wall that looks like that. you want me to show you?

check out this black marble-look. It resembles a nero marquina marble w/o the hassle. nice for the walls.

now this is pretty w/a solid vanity countertop. this is real marquina marble. behind the vanity would look nice if you want more of a modern/dramatic effect.

you could do this for your vanity.top Silestone Eternal Charcoal, suede finish

Or, the honed Pental Serano quartz

Either of these on your vanity would look nice w/the terrazzo. for the shower walls, do those plain white subways I showed you in an earlier post.

Or, use these on the shower walls, terrazzo floor, the plain vanity top (like a white or black/white quartz. maybe a carrara) and the white oak vanity.

Lines collection. comes in other colors and sizes

look at some of the other XL tiles and see if you like anything. the porcelain tiles can be installed on your shower walls by a qualified tile expert. (you need FULL coverage on the backs of these tiles. FULL)

save that granite slab for an island top in a kitchen!

Those terrazzo tiles, once fully laid out, are going to be very busy. Trust me, and others on this one. You do not want another busy tile or countertop.

I showed you a ton of pictures on what to combine w/that tile. Stop searching for someone who is going to say, "oh yeah, that busy looking granite will be super w/that super busy modern terrazzo tile!"

I don't think these patterns work well together.

No if you want to use the slab just on your back wall of the shower, then do solid porcelain tiles on the other walls and on the floors

While I like colorful and wild and the pattern on that slab would be awesome, I agree it looks too busy together as you presented it above or in ilikefriday's post. In your previous post, the floor seemed to be mainly white with very small black dots. Something more subdued would really showcase the shower.

Beth, I've never discussed marble, granite paired with terrazzo except in my last post about my master bath and it got few responses. I was looking for you! You're referring to my rental bathroom post and even then I still wasn't discussing granite or marble. I think I got those 4 bathrooms all settled. Thanks for your help.

This is my master bath post...please have a look!

Thanks for the photoshop ILFridays. You need to start squeegeeing that glass! Good way to photoshop glass. I was stumped how to do it.

Clearly, if I want to use a busy slab... I need a simpler floor, right?

IMO not together ever. Yes if you want that marble on the shower walls then a very plain large format tile for the bathroom floor.

I think a really skilled designer with a proven track record in maximialist design could make these two look great together along with all the right ingredients for every other facet of the room. But for us mere mortals, it would easily go south.

It looks like the colors in the slab and terrazzo may also not work well together, could be my monitor.

Yes, too busy. Personally, I would focus on the tarazzo floor tile and find something to coordinate with that.

I love dramatic spaces. I suggest you keep the marble and find a different flooring material. I think that marble is fantastic.

I had a fire in the triplex I live in. I lost everything. Now, I have to restore 6 bathroom and 3 kitchens with insurance money. You and Beth have become confused. I had the rental bathrooms I was working on in a previous post... I think that's what you both are referring to. They are pretty plain tile design with terrazzo floors and I'm set with them. I never brought up using natural stone or granite with terrazzo ever. This is my master bathroom and I'm now trying to determine if the terrazzo will go with any natural patterned stone. Pretty simple.

As for my style... I have 42 followers and you have ZERO. Bless your little, mean, black heart dude. :P

Thanks ilikeF, I'll search for a more neutral floor.

@Paul f

I knew your screen name was familiar. I decided to look through your previous posts and recall commenting on a few. I remember your fabulous living room and outdoor space. You do have an impeccable eye for design. Please disregard my comment about the marble and terrezo. If anyone can pull that look off it is you. I am sure whatever you have in mind will be fabulous.

I also remember your paintings of two eyes. I think you said a friend gave them to you. I liked the look so much I now have an eye painting in my home. LOL I copied you / you inspired me.

@ilikefriday

Awww, thank you. I remember you! You were always very helpful with my decorating. These 6 bathrooms and 3 kitchens are killing me. It's like doing 3 houses at once. It is very stressful. I do like eyes!

rtpaige,,

I don’t have a black heart (whatever that vaguely rascist meaning is), just a sense of humor.

just here to comment on the black heart comment. why are you sticking racism into that? You must be a young, liberal person. the term "black heart" has been around for eons. Nothing remotely racist about it. It just means a person void of feeling/caring, lack of humor, etc. basically (there are more adjectives to describe it, but you get the idea)

So tired of the word 'black' pertaining only to race. (or people that look for racist violations in every damn thing around them) You should be mindful of your underhanded accusations.

Nooo, my kids told me last time I used the black heart emoji that is was a BLM thing now. 🤷🏻‍♀️because I’m old.

rtpaige03, your comment was condescending and unhelpful, I poked you back with a joke and a smile. That's all. Happy holidays.

Paul, sorry if I was confused about the rentals. I just thought you were trying to combine that same two mediums in this dilemma too.

I do like the terrazzo, but think if you want to use it w/a vibrant slab, then choose a sedate terrazzo.

what if you used something like this white one?

And if that isn't diverse enough, try the black or gray one ;)

Gabbro is nice (gabbro is a type of black granite) or some of the other more solid choices.

this is a quartz.

better for the shower than real marble (unless you want to baby it)

this would be nice w/either the black or the white terrazzo

Porcelain slabs

Panda porcelain

or pair it w/a recycled glass vanity top.

That shower is going to be like a shot of espresso every morning! :))

Paul, I just had so much fun looking up wild stone bathroom inspiration pics for you. I hope some of these convince you to not go plain Jane with your floors but find something exciting and patterned to go with them, even if it is not the current terrazzo. I'm living vicariously through your daring choices.

Really depends on your tolerance for risk and multiple patterns. Here's a bathroom from a recent designer show house that uses a lot of color and pattern and I think it looks great!

That said, much depends on what you want your bathroom to feel like when you use it. Do you want it to have more energy or less energy? Most people like their bathrooms to be calm sanctuaries, in which case two busy patterns may not be the best choice.

sabrina, you just know that no one uses that shower! mother of pearl, onyx and marble? You'd need to clean and wipe it down after every use! love the colors though.

@Beth H. : I was showing them more for pattern play than practicality. Agree 100%.

oh I know that sabrina. I was just playing around. I don't have a problem w/any of the patterns together.

I'm sure if you have a mother of pearl shower, you probably have someone wiping it down for you afterwards too! That bathroom feels chaotic to me. But I think there are some others with big pattern combos that can feel calm.

Thanks for all the feedback and pics! I've been out for the last couple day at tile stores. I've had to focus on my rental baths for a bit first then I will revive this when I can concentrate. I've seen some great stuff. Unfortunately, lots of it have a lead time of 12-20 weeks.

Long lead times is the way of the world these days! Don't settle on a lesser choice just because you have to wait a few more weeks to get the perfect choice.

I hope I can. There is some cool stuff out there!

Here's a Houzz photo with a Terrazzo floor -- similar to your ideas above. I like that the wall tile is a solid color and picks up from one of the colors in the floor.

I'm still mulling a slab in my primary bath. There are some amazing slabs out there that might make an interesting feature wall. The first is Quartzite, the second is Dolomite and the third is Onyx.

Just saw this slab shower w/zellige tile on CleTile

that first quartzite pic you have would look pretty w/any of these color tiles

do the slab on the one back wall, and the tile on the sides.

If you do a slab, that is the star. Nothing else. Pick a tile like Beth suggested for the side walls of the shower and then paint the walls the same color as the tile.

I just put the slab in place. I know I'd need a new floor and wall tile but it looks pretty cool, no?

I think it looks really awesome.

I like that. looks great w/the wood too

I'd pick the solid white terrazzo. nothing too busy

No herringbone on the tile. Stop trying to compete with your star which is the stone, Do the tile straight and simple.

Ok... no competing! Well, almost.

Looks good! I like the blue stone a bit better. But, I'd use the soft gold/brushed brass fixtures. compliments the warm veining in the stone a lot better than the nickel or chrome.

the black capiz shell is also really nice

Agree with Beth. Blue stone in a stacked layout.

Very nice... jute wrapped.
