The Understated Elegance of Stone
Nemo Tile and Stone is a surefire inclusion in keeping with this week’s “yabba dabba doo” theme of Flintstone aesthetics. Three of their new large-format tile collections—Madison, Bryce, and Blake—are based on the timeless appeal of stone.
Let’s start off with Madison, perhaps the most versatile of these new collections. Madison is porcelain tile that mimics the raw appeal of concrete without any heavy bags or messy mixer trucks.
Madison updates concrete’s standard gray tone to include 14 colors, ranging from neutrals to of-the-moment pastel hues in creams and blues, rose and wheat.
There are also decorative surfaces, patterns, textures, mosaics, and—wonderfully—matching grout.
Someone like Fred Flintstone, who once used Sure Grip Household Cement thinking it was hair oil, likely hadn’t the foggiest idea that matching grout might one day be a thing, but perhaps Wilma and Pebbles might appreciate this detail of a seamless aesthetic.
Madison also comes with options for anti-slip surfaces that meet all functional outdoor requirements, as seen here in this majestic gallery walk up.
StrideUp® is another innovative option for Madison. It combines slip-resistant technology and a uniquely soft surface, ideal for high-traffic pools and patios. In the image above, can’t your bare feet feel it?
Bryce is an interpretation of limestone, inviting peace and calm into any space. It’s available in four colors and in a mosaic chevron.
Bryce offers the intricate and organic texture of natural stone in a porcelain tile. There’s softness and a touch of luminous warmth, characteristics that speak directly to a minimalist’s heart.
Finally, Blake captures the essence of slate on a porcelain surface. Its color palette stretches across seven earthy tones and even includes études of green: Ice, Khaki, Ash, Cloud, Jade, Iron, and Dark.
Blake’s variety in sizing—from large format to mosaic picket, tessera, or triangles—and compatibility with indoor and outdoor spaces result in limitless design potential.
