HERITAGE TILES
Tiles with culture are hot – think Victoriana and Spanish encaustic style
1 Renowned for its cool collaborations, Villeroy & Boch joined forces with fashion’s queen of print
Mary Katrantzou to come up with the Victorian collection of tiles. The range merges period motifs with contemporary elegance and the extra touches of gold on this design sparkle with opulence and sophistication. Pair with minimalist bathroom fixtures as these tiles deserve the spotlight. From £25 for a pack of four, Mary Katrantzou for Villeroy & Boch
2 Missing the Mediterranean? Bring a touch of it home with the Carmona collection by Bert & May. Referencing the antique tiles of southern Spain, the range is offered in two colourways: Verde and Marron (shown). With the patina and colours reflecting that of original reclaimed tiles, these beauties exude a charm and character we love. Use independently or team with single colour tiles for a more understated aesthetic. From £6.30 a tile excluding VAT, Bert & May
3 The Mediterranean theme continues with Lapicida’s Sineu tile in Sky. Handmade using trad techniques, the tile embraces imperfections to mimic the natural texture of old glazed terracotta ceramics. Part of the brand’s Mallorca collection, the tile’s rusticity is alluring and transports us to a simpler time.
£210sq m, Lapicida
4 It’ll feel like summer all year with the vibrant palette of the Cabana Porcelain Sicily tile by Ca’ Pietra. Paying tribute to the vivid patterns found in traditional Caribbean buildings, it’s sure to brighten any space. What’s more, the tile is versatile, too – it can be used outside to tile your patio for enjoying sundowners in style. £89.70sq m, Ca’ Pietra
