The A-Z List: British Tile Brands
Baked Tile Company
What could improve bathtime more than transforming the backdrop to your roll top (or shower cubicle) into a work of art? At the top of our decorating wish list is this tropical stone mural from the Baked Tile Company – which has a broad range of options from distressed-effects, bolds colours and botanical murals to traditional Mediterranean and Tuscan designs.
Balineum
There’s something for everyone in Balineum’s exquisite collection. Whether it’s designs inspired by seaports of the Mediterranean, ethereal mottled or tortoiseshell glazes or marbled swirls on cement, inspired by the Florentine tradition of marbleising paper. The only difficulty is narrowing down one choice.
Bert & May
Chic, patterned, eye catching, the tiles of York-based interiors brand Bert & May have something of a cult status around them. (And it’s not hard to see why.) The brand specialises in handmade, artisan encaustic and reclaimed tiles – with designs spanning abstract stripes and colourful stars, geometric murals, Art Deco capsules and heritage-inspired classic glazed.
Ca’ Pietra
Family-owned British brand Ca’ Pietra has spent the last three decades designing and curating the most beautiful tile collections.

Founded in 1872, its instantly-recognisable designs remain popular today, and it takes bespoke artistic commissions if you have something special in mind.

Mandarin Stone’s collection of porcelain and ceramic tiles can take you from a more pared back minimalist look to something a little more unique. The family-run business, which has over 30 years of expertise in tile-making, has 16 showrooms in the UK where you can see its beautiful wares in person.
Marlborough Tiles
Founded over 85 years ago in Marlborough, Wiltshire, Marlborough Tiles has an impressive pedigree; its designs were even once collected by Queen Mary, Grandmother to Elizabeth II and some now feature in the V&A. Especially beautiful are its etching and hand painted tiles in washed-out palettes with delicate designs of flowers, farm creatures and motifs from nature and the seaside.
