I have it, and LOVE it!! I put it in the kitchen, powder room, and front hall. I had moments of nervousness until the day I saw the whole house done (worrying it was too dark), but then I knew I had 100% made the right choice. We have dark woods and light carpet and walls throughout the house, and it looks really sharp... and we get compliments on it all the time! And a few people have even said "I put light tiles in my kitchen, and I wish I had done something like this instead".

JLB - would you happen to have any pictures of your kitchen?
We chose the same tile but I'm second guessing it now because we have
white cabinets and not sure if the tile appears more of a 'beige' color. Any pics would
Be helpful. Thanks :)

We have Rustica Moca in our current house and it's been great. It camouflages all kinds of dirt (which is both a good thing and bad). I wanted to branch out and put a different tile in our new house, mainly just for a change, but it looks like we'll likely be using Rustica Moca again...
I don't find it's too dark and I wouldn't say it looks beige in the least.

I have this tile in my house, too. I especially like it in the kitchen and the front foyer for the same reasons above: it hides dirt—good when you have unexpected company and don't have time to clean. But also bad because sometimes you miss coffee rings or something because you think it's part of the counter!

I find it bright enough—I have a bright chestnut colour of cabinets and black appliances; it holds its own against those colours.

So since lots of people have this tile, I need opinions!! So we chose white cabinets and we will be doing a white/greyish quartz countertop and the backsplash will be almost like a mirrored tile.

In the kitchen there will be lots of white and chrome, do you think this tile will match okay? Thanks everyone!!

From what you describe, I think it will look really nice. But I know what it's like to be stressed about the choices. Our 2nd DC appointment is next week and I'm second guessing all kinds of things, Especially the upstairs bathrooms.

I'll try to take some pics when I get home tonight, but here's a pic that might help a little (though you can't see too much of the tile in it, you can see how light it looks next to the back door, and how dark it looks away from the light on the other side.. and also how it looks against the dark cabinets and the light walls)

In person, it doesn't look very beige. It's kind of a nice mix of a bit of beiges and some greys, so it goes well with both warm and cool tones.

We have rustica mocha as well and put the tiles on an angle, and we love it. When we first chose that tile, I was so nervous and went back that night to see if it was too dark, too grey etc. But I'm so glad I chose it, I love it!

this is a picture the weekend we moved in this past summer.

For those of you who have picked Rustica Moca, what colour grout did you put with it? Did you upgrade it?

We upgraded it to desert. However, thee first time around I'm not sure what happened, as it was all uneven to the point the grout on one side of a tile was a different colour than the other side of the same tile. Warranty fixed it finally, and it worked out perfectly!

Yes it is Cartier, I believe its the Venezia in Wenge but I'm unsure what the counter is called, something like cement...

Is it concrete stone? I think that's what the one we have is called, and looks a lot like yours.

hi everybody,
we are also thinking about going with the rustica moca tiles, in our foyer, kitchen and breakfast area. we are going with maple espresso cabinets, aurora snow quartz and white backsplash. we have a dark hardwood in the living and great room. i wanted a suggestion would rustica moca look good or it would be too dark, we are confused. if some body has a clear picture , can you please post the picture. i have seen some pictures of rustica moca with dark cabinets and white countertop but all of them have light carpet in the connecting room, but as we are opting for dark hardwood in the connecting room, will everything become too dark, suggestions will be highly appreciated. thank you all.

Hi Nidisa,
We have a dark hardwood and Rustica Moca in our current house and will be doing the same in our new house. I don't think it looks too dark. I'll try to post a picture but no promises as I'm not very good at this stuff...
I think the choices you have picked sound very nice.

Does anyone know another tile besides Rustica Mocha. Every frickin house has this damn tile. Pick another tile! What is so good about this particular tile, I don't know???


You're welcome to start your own thread about your preferred tile colour etc. No one is forcing you to like this "damn tile" nor are they making you read about it in a thread dedicated to helping people figure out how that colour of tile will look with their personal choices of counter, cabinetry etc.
