Natilie, If it is NOT going to be stepped on - that is a wall tile.
There are matte sprays out there that you could test. Mike Gordon

Does anyone know if there is anything you can do, or anything you can paint
on, to make glossy ceramic tile matte?

You might try a hydrofluoric etch cream. Be very careful not to get any on
your skin. Wear rubber gloves.

Sandblast it, or apply one of the various
acids sold to glass-etching hobbyists.
