There's something magical about decorative stone pebble tile for your home. Pebbles are tactile; your hands and feet yearn to feel them. You tend to associate them with places... exotic beaches, crystal-clear river beds, waterfalls...
And, when you bring pebbles inside, they carry the magic in, transforming a backsplash, a shower floor, or a decorative wall feature into a story to be shared with those who use the space.
For that reason, we're excited about the Toemi pebble collection available at Floor Decor Design Center.
Before going into detail about the Toemi collection, here's an overview of pebble mosaics you'll find when browsing through our tile products.
These come mesh-mounted in 12" sheets for easy installation. All can be used for wall installations such as backsplashes and features such as what you see in the shower installation image below.
We recommend flat pebbles for floor installations.
In the Quick Ship category, you can choose from 13 different flat pebble color options: Bali Black, Galaxy, Pastel Green, Grey & White, Jupiter, Merak, Quartz, Sedona Red, Red & White, Desert Sandstone, Snow White, Terracotta, and Yellow Marble.
Then, there are moon mosaics in 10 colors: Bali Black Moon, Coral Green, Grey Marble, Quartz, Sunset, Porcelain White, Aberdeen Grey, Sedona Red, Desert Sandstone, and Merak. They are round, moon-shaped flat pebbles.
Sliced pebble mosaics come in 10 colors: Black, Grey & Black, Black & White, Green, Green & White, Sliced Grey, Grey & White, Maui Turtle, Autumn, and Tan.
You'll also find round pebbles in 5 colors: Black, Breccia, Brown Mix, Cream, and White.
Check out how these products are described:
