you can paint anything. durability is another matter. do the floors have a sealer on them? you might want to try a masonry paint, rather than a regular paint. they also have special paint for tiles. but saltillo is a natural material, not a ceramic (i'm guess they are since you don't have a pic), so use appropriate flooring paint.

Thanks Beth, it's a Spanish style home in the Caribbean. The floors do not have a sealer on them. I want to make the place more modern so considering making the floors a white or washed white then a sealer my be the direction. I need to research images of while tile floors,

Best,

Richie

Don't ruin your floors unless you can afford to 100% pay to have them demolished and replaced. Terra cotta floors are a classic and do not need to be remuddled and ruined. They are perfect for many kinds of decor, including modern.

You have a classic floor that works with any style do no ruin them
