Decorative tile, mmmm just thinking of the options can make one giddy, all the shapes, colors, options, tile designs, locations to use… The artistic quality of handcrafted or hand-painted tiles can enhance an interior just like adding a good piece of antique furniture. Regardless of a home’s decor or style decorative tile can elevate a space to something quite special.
One of my favorite suppliers of tile (samples shown above) is Avente Handpainted Tiles in Beverly Hills, California (don’t fret they ship anywhere.)
They also have a fantastic blog where every they share all the goods on tile, called Tile Talk . If you like tile be sure to bookmark it for their weekly posts. Being a tile lover they asked me to write a post on using tile from a designer’s perspective. If you like money and tile I wrote it just for you! Click here for my Tile Talk post.
As a reward for reading: Online orders get 10% off the cost of tile with coupon code DECORGIRL (use during checkout). There is no minimum order and the offer is good thru August 2011.

I love decorative tile! One of my dreams is to one day redesign my entire bathroom in tiles — I’m especially fond of the decorative tiles that are found in central Mexico.

Love these gorgeous tiles! The hummingbird is too sweet. Love that it’s a local American business!

My pleasure! If there is something great I like people to know about it and with soooo many tile options it helps to break down the process. Decorative tile can be used in many projects. It is one of those where even if on a budget you can get a lot of back for your buck!
