THE EXOTIC TOUCH WITH VINTAGE TILES

Nowadays it’s called vintage, but have always been classic, antique or aged. With one name or another, they always provide a friendly and traditional touch where they are placed. The design of before is completely different as the current design. They are not only based on natural elements such as flowers, leaves, plant elements and geometric figures with more saturated colors. Their forms are completely different, smaller and with an exotic touch that make the space personal.

Tiles until the 70 were made of other material, and that affected their appearance, size and decoration. The nail had not yet evolved to the level that we have nowadays, so they were simpler and their use was much less elaborated. Instead of printing screens, operators (usually female) passed a brush leaving the painting that afterwards would settle the final drawing.

So these tiles have an uneven appearance that today businesses seeks to imitate industrially. The small size of these tiles make them ideal for small spaces, such as the kitchens of some cottages (one of the most suitable places for this kind of decoration).

The good news is that cannot only be found with square shape. If there is a Moorish style tile, it can be found with other shapes, such as hexagonal or with cut corners, that complements with other smaller pieces that cover this space.

Placing these tiles is some usually done the same way as if they were modern tiles, but dome designers advocate leaving some imperfection in placement to give a greater sense of antiquity. Obviously, not leaving big uneven, but giving a more ancient feeling and way of placing.

In out catalog you can find models of this style to get the personal design that you are looking for, so you can choose the one that best suits what you want.
