Flooring ‘N Tiles

I hear this a lot: “We’re looking for Toscana floor tiles.” It is interesting inasmuch as there is no real set “Toscano Tile” outside of numerous tiles bearing that brand name. Yet, there is something very relevant in the question. We often hear of the “Tuscany kitchen”, for example. It implies a warm, sunny place, rife with light from the sun and with your more muted earth tones with perhaps some riotously-colored ceramic tiles mixed in. It is a truism in the industry that Tuscany offers a blend of fashion and of uniqueness, a reminiscent sense of place and time.

Yes, the brand, Toscano, is highly popular. Many firms manufacture and sell tiles with just that designation. It helps to bear in mind that almost all reflect the aforementioned properties to a “T”. Earth-toned, they can be of a terracotta sensibility, even polished, or they can be somewhat crudely-arranged earth-colored tans and browns with mottled tops and uneven edges. Both work and both have described exactly what people were looking for upon finding out the selections in that name.

Tuscany is famous for many things, but few more than the farmhouse-style of kitchens and ante-rooms. Toscano floor tiles almost always reflect these qualities and almost always satisfy. There are few ways to go wrong with a selection of a homey and warm-looking set of tiles like toscano floor tiles.
