The tiles are constructed from [porcelain stoneware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexicon-tile) and have a simple, stark finish accented by a vague geometric outline. They come in a floor and wall option, both of which are carried in five neutral colors: Albar, taupe, pearl, gray, and dark. Due to the Carpenter tile collection's unique antibacterial element, it performs particularly well in environments that are required to be kept clean and sanitized like health clinics or schools. The [monochromatic color schemes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melange) naturally complement each other so tiles from the collection can be mixed and matched to suit different interior design schemes. The Carpenter tile collection comes in four measurements ranging from 30 by 60 cm to 60 by 120 cm.
