Inspired by classic encaustic cement tile, this beautifully detailed porcelain tile features a sophisticated blend of gray, blue, and white tones arranged in a striking star and circle geometric pattern. The result is a designer tile that feels both artistic and structured, making it an ideal choice for homeowners and designers looking to create memorable interiors with lasting appeal.

Whether you are designing a statement bathroom floor, decorative shower wall, elegant kitchen backsplash, powder room, laundry room, or a welcoming entryway, Ocean Star delivers the handcrafted look of traditional patterned cement tile with the modern performance advantages of porcelain.

Coastal-Inspired Encaustic Style with Durable Porcelain Performance

Patterned tile remains one of the most popular ways to introduce character, movement, and architectural detail into a space. The Ocean Star design captures the timeless charm of old-world encaustic tile while incorporating a fresh color palette inspired by coastal waters, soft stone, and bright open spaces.

The combination of gray, blue, and white makes this tile incredibly versatile. It works beautifully in coastal homes, transitional interiors, spa-inspired bathrooms, farmhouse kitchens, and contemporary spaces that benefit from a softer decorative touch.

Unlike traditional encaustic cement tile, porcelain provides easier maintenance, excellent durability, and dependable everyday performance—making this tile a smart choice for stylish residential projects.
