Today I showcase three new patterns in our ever-popular Arabesque cement tile line which is part of our curated Spanish tiles honoring traditional tile-making techniques, patterns, and colors. What I like about the first two lines, is you''ll find both a large format appropriate for floors or large walls and a smaller, mini-format that scales down well for a backsplash, small entry or hearth.

'Metro, or subway, tiles often create a modern and industrial look in kitchens and bathrooms, however our crackle glaze Cactus tiles add antique charm to this sometimes harsh look. This style is referred to as ‘retro metro’ due to the combination of the metro brick-shaped tile and the vintage-style crackle glaze look to the tiles.

'I recently tore out and replaced an old school shower that had been leaking for a couple reasons. I remember working for a tile crew just out of high school and how they built these robust showers, countertops and backsplashes. First, a dump truck pulled up near the site and unloaded a couple yards of washed sand followed up by a truck loaded with a partial pallet of portland cement.

'If you have a small bathroom but rarely use your bath, then a wet room could be the perfect solution for you. Removing the tub and adding a level-access walk in shower will free up space in the room, whilst also making showering much more convenient. Wet rooms are also the perfect option for those with young children or mobility issues, as there is no issue manoeuvring in and out of the shower.

While a garden is often seen as more desirable, a rooftop terrace or balcony can offer a more manageable and luxurious space to escape to, add to that the privacy and panoramic views, and you have a space that most would be envious of.
