What gives a courthouse or a government building it's air of authority and significance? Most often it is the use of stone for walkways and flooring. Even sandstone lasts and cleans more easily than rugs, carpets, floor tiles, or wood. Ceramic tile can approach these characteristics, but is harder to repair when surface damage occurs.
Here's another picture of a Bar we have on the site elsewhere. This one highlights the stone flooring.
This photo features a stone flooring scheme that matches color highlights in the countertop and backsplash.
This Kitchen treatment features a marble island countertop, stone flooring, and a coordinated stone backsplash with range hood.
