All About Stylish Slate Tile
If you want to create a timeless space that’s truly one of a kind, slate tiles may be just the material for your next project. The Tile Shop offers a wide selection of slate tiles in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes, so you can find the perfect combination of this time-tested material and your own personal style.
A Beautiful Range of Colors
Although the label “slate” is frequently used to describe medium or dark shades of gray, usually with blue undertones, the namesake stone can be found in a range of naturally occurring colors. In our collection of slate tiles, you’ll find lighter shades, like cream and beige; mid tones of brown, dark green and even red; and deep shades like charcoal and black.

A Variety of Shapes for Interest and Movement
In mid-century home design, it was common to see freeform slate pieces, arranged so that they generally fit together, used as floor or wall coverings. But if that classic no-pattern pattern is the only way you’ve seen slate tile used, you’re in for a pleasant surprise.
Our selection includes a wide variety of shapes ranging from square to subway to hexagon, as well as many mosaic styles. You’ll also find slate mosaic tiles, including brick-look, starburst designs and the customer-favorite Versailles (a best-selling arrangement of squares and rectangles available in multiple sizes and colors).
Where Can You Use Slate Tiles
The short answer is, (nearly) anywhere with floors or walls! Here are just a few of our favorite places to install slate tile:
Bathroom
While it's suited to floors or walls, slate bathroom tile has long been a favorite for bathroom floors in particular, thanks to the underfoot traction its natural texture provides.
Entryway/Mudroom
Slate is durable enough to hold up to snow, mud and rain, and as a natural material, it creates a beautiful transition between the inside and outside of your home.
Outdoor Spaces
Depending on your climate zone and specific features of your outdoor space, outdoor slate tile might be an option for your backyard patio, garden path and more.
