There’s a moment after everything’s been installed, cleaned, and styled, when a room finally feels finished with all the details, the gallery wall with your memories, and you know, the floor. And most of the time, it comes down to the surface underfoot.
Tempest Matte delivers a deep, stone-like black in a 12x24 porcelain tile format that feels grounded but not heavy. There’s no gloss, no faux texture, no performance tricks. Just a quiet, mineral-black matte with enough grip to hold up outdoors, and enough presence to stand on its own indoors. This is an outdoor tile for those who are done with "safe" gray, who want something moody and speaks the design language that you are speaking, right?
Tempest works in the kinds of spaces that don’t need decoration. Industrial kitchens with brick backsplashes and your sketches on the table. Indoor or outdoor living rooms. Back patios that double as dining areas. Bathrooms where natural light makes the black floor feel like charcoal paper. The 12x24 porcelain tile format lays out easily and looks finished even with simple patterns. It'll be the best accessory you've ever had!
Unlike black marble or slate, this tile doesn’t chip, stain, or age badly. It resists moisture, heat, spills, and shifting weather. It's one of the few porcelain floor tiles that work just as well under wet boots as it does under bare feet. It won’t compete with your materials. It lets the designer furniture, light, and space do the talking.
