Octagon and dot floor tiles in 13 color combinations

OCTAGON FLOOR TILES are great for pre-war homes — 1920s, 1930s, 1940s — and then some colorways came around again in the 1970s. This tile style can work, I think, for either a vintage style bathroom or kitchen floor, and that dot gives you a nice flourish of color to play with.

Nemo Tile has the largest selection that I’ve seen yet of colors for the main tile and the dot. Looks like they have a glossy and satin white, a glossy and satin black, and for that 70s house, shades of beige and shades of gray. What a hoot, I love ’em. For dots: white, black, navy, cobalt, red, burgundy, green and the 70s beige and gray. Nemo Tile octagon ceramic floor tile.

      We do not sell anything on this site. You need to click on the links within the stories to the companies profiled. For tile research also see our category Bathroom Help / Tile

      Why don’t you give them a call. Sounds like it’s discontinued, but perhaps they have some left.
