Flooring Design Dilemma

Where can I find this tile?

I saw this tile at an open house and feel in love with it. It has both brown and gray hues and has a very interesting sheen. Not sure if it’s considered a stone or wood look. It’s not a high gloss but when I kneel down and touch it it has a little texture and you can see almost droplets of a shiny finish. I am considering asking the realtor to ask the builder but honestly I’m not interested in buying the house so kinda feel bad. Besides it’s a sad situation where the buyers backed out of a custom home and the builder is now left with it to sell someone else’s dream home. Pictures attached are from the listing website and the “ unprofessional” ones I took.

On my monitor they look like 2 different tile colors they are just wood look tiles so go to a tile store and see what is available. I personally dislike them or any tile all through the house unless you live in the tropics and those don’t even try to look like actual wood floor.

Thanks for the info - These tiles would only be used in our kitchen and connected laundry room. Not throughout the entire house. Have engineered hardwood in all areas except wet rooms and kitchen.

Sorry. I didn’t mean the design is simple. I meant the tile is simple. Solid colored rhombus. Where can I find the tile?

The tile pro I have used could do that work, but it's true that it would be very expensive and take a lot of math and planning to pull it off. You need someone who is certified by the national tile organizations (can't remember the names), but they need to go beyond that with passion and experience. Someone who enjoys challenging themselves. It would be so cool to see something like that come together, but it'll cost you a pretty penny. Depending on where you are located you might have to entice someone from far away. Hopefully you are in a sophisticated city center or an artistic area.

Those are more wood look, but they're VERY busy so IMO not a good look at all. If you already have wood in your home I'd say absolutely do not install this tile or any wood look. Faux wood and real wood do not mix well together.
