ON THE TILES

The new name to know in tiles, Otto, 0203 488 3205, ottotiles.co.uk, handcrafts traditional tiles in Istanbul using ancient techniques. If you have a design in mind, they can make bespoke patterns, colours and shapes, or you can choose from an array of ready-made patterns in ceramic, terrazzo and cement. We love (pictured, from top) Cross Stripe Pink, St Tropez, Smooth Pinky Stripes, and Hex60 Blue, from £4.80 a tile.
