Have you checked the wet COF for each of these? Please don't select one that is low - that's the coefficient of friction and you want something that isn't going to be slick when there are water drops and splashes on it.

Also consider the color of grout you would need with each of these - kitchens are messier places and do you really want to be cursing under your breath at having chosen a white/light grout?

Can you photograph the options laid adjacent to the floors they will butt up against? That should also be taken into account, not just how they look against your cabinets and wall color.

Hi Michelle - I actually don’t have the samples anymore but here is a pic of both floors. And thank you for the advice!!! I dont want slippery and I def don’t want white grout but it is white in the powder room and it might look better matched - it is a nightmare!!

Hi Amariet! The kitchen is dolomite. I was told it was quartzite but I have that in my bathroom and the kitchen is way softer. I have dinged it up a bit due to washing pots/pans and I left a few strawberries on the counter and it etched. The good thing is that it’s not noticeable at all and both can be fixed because it’s natural stone. I bought the cutting board off Amazon bc it had a lip that covers the edge - I hit it a few times loading the dishwasher! Even though it is a bit high maintenance (unlike the quartzite in the bathroom that can take about anything you give it), I would do it again in a heartbeat. The depth and beauty of the stone just amazes me - photos don’t do it justice. I’ll post some pics.

Bathroom - quartzite - much more durable

Kitchen install day - dolomite

Can you show those samples against the grey oak floor In the living room?

Hi Rantontoo - unfortunately I returned the samples. Not very smart of me!! Sorry! If you have any ideas of what you think would look good, I’d love to hear! :) I was even thinking maybe a dark slate...but I do like lighter colors. I found a marble on I love but it’s a stretched hex, I’ve been trying to post a pic but Houzz site is not cooperating tonight! I appreciate your input so much, thank you!!

Ok-edit, got the pic to load. too busy? I love both tiles, not sure together though.
