Three Super Cool Modern Tiles

Cool, modern tiles are a great way to add some instant pizazz to a modern bathroom (opens in new tab), hallway (opens in new tab), cloakroom (opens in new tab) or kitchen (opens in new tab). Sure, there are plenty of safe and stylish options, from scalloped fish scale tiles (opens in new tab) to timeless metro tiles (opens in new tab)andmodern encaustic tiles (opens in new tab). 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 (opens in new tab) to turtles (opens in new tab), and from snowdrops (opens in new tab) to strawberries (opens in new tab). Lovely for above the range cooker (opens in new tab), or to adorn the pantry or laundry room (sigh, we can dream), but the real head-turners are the bugs and beetles (opens in new tab). A little bit gothic, a little bit punk, but subtle enough to blend in to a monochrome bathroom (opens in new tab), funky cloakroom (opens in new tab) or above the stove in a white kitchen (opens in new tab).
