Bathroom tile inspiration

3 years ago

We had our hearts set on using Ted Bakers Stepped Up pastel tiles, but sadly they have been discontinued. I found these quite similar ones from a delightful independent designer based in Belgium / Portugal. But lead times might just be too long for us. Has anyone seen any other ones with a similar feel?

An alternative would be using simple metro tiles but white interspersed with candy colours so it looks almost a bit confetti like. Has anyone done something along those lines?

Carolina - Popham, oh my oh my beautiful stuff! Thanks for sharing. ☺️

But we did go to Claybrook and Milagros shops in East London today and we absolutely love Milagros tiles. I think we're pretty much decided on them and will just check a few samples we purchased at home in various lights.

We're going to go for a random pattern of these designs. Even my husband was instantly in love with these. 😀

Unfortunately lead times for everything relating to construction industry materials are long due to lack of production for 3 months and staff still off on furlough. Whatever you choose if it isn’t on the shop shelf I’ll bet you’ll struggle to get it.

thanks Daisy, yes I'm realising that this is the case. Ideally we'll find something that is ready to ship. But this has so far been the most difficult exercise. finding tiles we really love.

I think you will be fine with that choice in a small bathroom and I'm sure it's actually relatively common. Here is one example I found on houzz and it's a combination with have in our small carriage house bath as well. For floor we did white hexagons with a repeating black pattern. http://houzz.com/photos/740269

Got the bath for free. Builder literally moved the wall frame to accommodate it. Concerned it looks ridiculous as its a tight squeeze so any ideas of what I can do to make this bath look ok in the room. I'm going to paint the tub a different colour. Don't say get rid of the bath cos it's not an option!!!

Hi Anna,

these are absolutely gorgeous. I have spent hours looking for tiles for our new house and never seen anything like this sadly.

In terms of metro tiles,

Topps Tiles have them in Blush and Mint in stock. They are a gloss finish though. Would you prefer a matt tile?

Tiles Direct also have a few different colours, they are described as Gloss but they look more like a semi-gloss finish. You can see their the tiles and the colours here.

Thank you Nicola, Elisa's tiles really are quite special and I would love to support an independent designer too. She's an absolute pleasure to deal with to boot.

I failed to mention in my post that these are for the floor. I think the metro tiles you refer to are suitable for walls only.

What did you end up with in your bathroom? for both floor and walls?

Milagros has some gorgeous handmade tiles - these are similar colours to the ones you posted: https://www.milagros.co.uk/product/dandy-star-ii/

Ahh, sorry! I shouldn't have just assumed. Yes, don't think the bevelled tiles would work on the floor.

I still haven't decided on tiles, it is honestly the hardest thing for me to choose, but I love looking around for tiles!

I came across Porcelain Superstore on my searches, and they have lovely tiles but too many colourful ones unfortunately. I just had a quick look on there for coloured floor tiles and they have these ones - Palm Springs Hexagons

Tiles Direct do have them too and they also have plain ones you could mix & match. Tiles Direct Lily Pad Probably not helpful if you don't like hexagons!

These ones are a bit thinner & longer than a traditional metro tile, but they're flat and suitable for floors in a mint, pink and white. Stromboli Range

oh my goodness, Sarah, I'm in love with these tiles from Milagros. They are beautiful! I think I will call them tomorrow to check their lead times. Thank you for pointing me to them.

Nicola - you know, I've not been into hexagonal tiles, but tonight I tasked my husband with looking at some tile inspiration and he picked out some hexagonal ones. Not so keen on the ones with the stripes, but I love the colours of the plain ones. If they were arranged in a randomised pattern they could be so fun. And they are so cheap!

I never thought that the tiles would be the hardest thing to choose! 🙈 Why is that?! Hope you find something you love soon.

Wumi, yes I have. I do love their shift tilt range (think that's what it was called). But they were not quite right and expensive. I'm ok to spend a bit more but then it needs to be a perfect match.

We're going to visit Milagros and Claybrook shops tomorrow. Let's see. I'm very excited and hopeful.

There's also this tile manufacturer with droolworthy tiles: https://www.pophamdesign.com/home They are an American company, tiles are made in Morocco (I believe), but they do ship all over the world.
