These tiles in Yarraville are a more traditional take on a heritage style bathroom. Having decided on a claw foot bath, the owner chose cream-coloured subway tiles on the wall and glossy floor tiles in a patchwork design. Look closer and you can see these are 300×300 tiles which seem like 9 individual tiles. A good trick for those who want to have less grout to keep clean.
On the walls the cream-coloured tiles work well with the burgundy and the owner made a feature of the floor tiles inside the recessed shelves. They fitted the bath against the back wall underneath the shelves to compliment the floor. A balanced approach between contemporary and yesteryear.
Achieving a luxury look with modern products in a heritage style bathroom can be difficult. One wrong move and you can end up with tiles that clash and fittings that look tacky. If you have something like this planned, check out Olde English Tiles for inspiration and top quality products.
