Porcelain tile is easy-to-clean and water-resistant, making it ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. Plus, large-format tiles serve as a dramatic decor element, and can visually expand a room due to minimal grout lines.
Natural Bamboo

Bamboo is the trendiest green flooring option. To be sure, bamboo is not a tree, but a fast-growing grass that can be grown organically and harvested sustainably.
