Decorum
Designed and produced in Cornwall, Decorum Tiles offers a range of hand-painted and patterned kitchen and bathroom tiles. We love the brand’s Cornish take on Delft tiles, which includes local landmarks and wildlife, and the English Garden panel – a 60-tile wall mural perfect for a bathroom. If you want something completely bespoke, the studio’s team of artists will work alongside you to create custom designs suitable for any room, all tailored to your requirements. Each artist has their own style and specialisation, so you can find the perfect painter for your project.

Marlborough Tiles
A leading tile artisan producer since the 1930s, Marlborough Tiles continues to make elegant hand- painted and richly glazed designs. From floor tiles to wall tiles, for the kitchen and the bathroom, the range is full of subtle, sophisticated colours. We love the collaboration with Sims Hilditch. Each wall tile is painted by hand onto raw glaze using the classic Majolica technique, then individually signed by the artist behind it.

Bert & May
With a raw but refined aesthetic, tile company Bert & May was set up by Lee Thornley in Andalusia in 2004. Four years later, he opened a boutique hotel in Cadiz, showcasing his talent for sourcing reclaimed materials. Everything took on a new life a decade ago when Lee met Juanma – the owner of a small family business specialising in artisan encaustic tiles and traditional handmade
techniques. Since then, Bert & May has evolved into a specialist supplier of handmade artisan tiles.
