Tile Style: Redefining Modern Floor Tile

If the idea of installing tile in your living spaces makes you think of stark, cold, and uninviting surfaces when instead your ideal space is rich and elegant, take a look at this collection of MSI floor tile products and prepare for a pleasant surprise.

Today’s tile flooring options have patterns inspired by nature – or, in the case of TekTile, fabrics. Contemporary designs using utilitarian, durable, easy-maintenance tiles can be just as friendly and inviting as carpet – and a whole lot easier to keep clean. 

Gray Oak Marble

When is a polished hardwood floor ideal for frequently-wet locations such as kitchens and bathrooms? When it’s really marble that features a linear soft-gray pattern with all the character and warmth of natural wood. Gray Oak Marble, available in 12” x 24” and 6” x 24” planks, may be used in many creative ways in your home. 

Calacatta Porcelain with Arctic White Quartz

The dramatic patterning of Calacatta Porcelain is anything but stark and plain. Featuring veins of gray and brown on a white background, it’s stunning when used in a random pattern, but even more appealing when placed to strategically maximize its diagonal linear nature. Ideal for tile flooring, you might want to carry this porcelain tile through on other surfaces as well such as shower surrounds, countertops, and backsplashes.  

Arctic White Quartz is plain white, with no veins, pattern, or other variegation. Available in slabs, with a bright polished finish, you’d think this was the definition of stark and plain contemporary surfacing – but the truth is, sometimes pure white is exactly what you need. It has an elegance that’s hard to resist. The white quartz countertop shown here is especially fetching when paired with a complementary product such as Calacatta Porcelain. 

Bianco

They are available in 24” x 24” squares, perfect for creating a crisp, cheerful look as flooring in kitchens like the one shown here.
