Staff Picks of the Week
Browse through the tiles we’ve been obsessing over this week and become inspired for your next project.
Our staff picks this week feature a collection we have been obsessing over! The new Flauti collection features random mesh mounting causing light to reflect in different ways, creating the effect of movement. It’s such a beautifully designed porcelain mosaic with so many design possibilities. This week we’ve paired it together with elegant marble and glass.
Blues and whites flow so well together. It’s a timeless combination that you can never go wrong with. The lovely blue tone of Flauti Steel pairs perfectly with AK Next Diagonal Ombre w/ Shadow Terrazzo & Brass. They’re a match made in heaven. Pair those together with Ak Carrara marble tile and AK Arctic White Twill glass mosaic and you’ve got a stunning design that will elevate any space.
FLAUTI
Micro-structure and random mesh mounting causes light to reflect in different ways, producing the effect of movement in this glazed, porcelain tile.
Flauti is wonderful for both indoor and outdoor spaces, residential and commercial. This porcelain mosaic tile calls inspiration from mid-century Italian tradition.
With six color options and two finishes, the possibilities are endless.
This classic marble is a favorite among the design community. With it’s timeless coloring, AK Carrara is a great option for any space, commercial and residential.
This stunning marble is available in a vast variety of design options, both field tiles and mosaics. With so many different options, there’s suitable options for all your design needs.
AK NEXT
Terrazzo is a design classic. When paired with brass and marble, the result is a stunningly beautiful tile. AK Next can be arranged to create stripes, bursts, rectangles or squares. Versions of the mosaic contain metal accents that can be used in a field to create a dramatic look, or as insets to add pops of shine.
This tile is guaranteed to be an eye-catching statement in any space.

Wilson Tile
As its name suggests, this tile’s beautiful designs draw influence from countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. The contrast of the simple blue cabinets draws your eye to the colorful backsplash.
Tiara Midori Interiors
An elongated hex ceramic tile is a great way to add a little something extra to the traditional look of a subway tile. Our Crayons tiles have a glossy finish and subtle undulation that provide a little extra depth as well. We love how this statement wall adds some interest to the space while still allowing the patterned mirror to pop.
Johnston Style
Wood floors are such a timeless look. However, real hardwood can be a hassle to maintain. Our porcelain wood-like tiles are an excellent alternative. High durability and low maintenance make porcelain a great choice for bathrooms. We love the transition from vertical slats to wood mosaics using our King Wood collection.
Introducing Fuoritono
A new elegant and creative porcelain tile featuring soft structure and intense shading. Fuoritono's rhombo and brick formats, coupled with the available color palette, grants an endless innovative freedom.
