CONTESSA DAMA MATTE 12X24

CONTESSA DAMA MATTE 12X24

## Quick Design Take
It has that pulled-from-a-magazine vibe, but it’s not trying too hard. From Emser’s Contessa line in the Dama selection, this porcelain field tile is sized 12X24 (Floor, Oblong). Emser describes Contessa as a classic marble-vein inspired glazed porcelain look offered in matte or glossy finishes for a timeless backdrop.

## Best Layout Options
Stacked installation reads modern and tailored—especially with a tone-matched grout. A third-offset pattern can add rhythm while avoiding that repeating “zipper” look. On floors, keep your main runs straight and your cuts balanced at the perimeter; that’s what makes an install look professional.

## Surface Notes
Matte finishes read relaxed and current, and they’re great when you want the room to feel calm instead of shiny. The colorway is versatile enough to act as a background, which is exactly what you want in a surface you’ll live with every day. For a calm, cohesive finish, choose a grout that blends with the tile; for more definition, go a shade deeper.

## Finish the Look
Keep it classic: shaker cabinets, simple stone counters, and a clean trim profile. Use lighting like a designer: warm LEDs, dimmers, and a couple of punchy fixtures make the tile feel richer.

## Coverage Details
Each carton contains 9 piece(s). Coverage is approximately 17.4375 per carton. Unit of measure: SF. Plan typical overage for cuts and waste—more if you’re running diagonals, borders, or a heavy pattern layout. It’s classic design logic: start with a strong neutral, then layer in the fun stuff.
