Cool, modern tiles are a great way to add some instant pizazz to a modern bathroom, hallway, cloakroom or kitchen. Sure, there are plenty of safe and stylish options, from scalloped fish scale tiles to timeless metro tilesandmodern encaustic tiles. But for out-there wow-factor? Spell out words or numbers with Rory Dobner's punk illustrations (time to upgrade your house number plate perhaps?) or walk on the wild side with Graffiti style tiles underfoot.
BEETLE JUICE
For hand-painted, illustrated tiles, Marlborough Tiles have everything from trout to turtles, and from snowdrops to strawberries. Lovely for above the range cooker, or to adorn the pantry or laundry room (sigh, we can dream), but the real head-turners are the bugs and beetles. A little bit gothic, a little bit punk, but subtle enough to blend in to a monochrome bathroom, funky cloakroom or above the stove in a white kitchen.
Beetle tile, 6.3 x 6.3 inches, £14.42 each from Marlborough Tiles
SPELL IT OUT
