Old English Tiles for Your Modern Ideas from Designer Ceramics

Old English tiles are making a comeback through modernised Victorian and Edwardian designs. The glamour of these great English eras have inspired designers to incorporate various style elements into their modern designs.

Designer Ceramics, producers of Old English tiles in Australia, have mastered the art for more than 50 years. Here are some ways on how old English tiles from Designer Ceramics can be used in modern commercial settings.

Restaurant Bar or Counter Top
Restaurant bars are places where people can sit for a drink or a meal and where servers give and pick-up customer's orders for food and drinks. Old English tiles on restaurant bars can give the perfect balance of home comfort and style to an establishment. Place the "Verona Cap" design by Design Ceramics when adding lining to the bar or countertop. For an early Victorian appeal, you could use darker shades of red and green, while soft yellows, dark greens and greys are more dominant colours during the Edwardian era.

Room ambiance
The atmosphere of a commercial establishment helps bring in customers, sometimes reflecting the level of service a shop or store provides. Adding Old English tiles to a bathroom, for instance, can help connect the lavatory to the rest of the property's theme. A bathroom or lavatory with a more feminine touch could utilise floral patterned border tiles. The Victorian era is known for its elaborate floral designs with heavy red and green tones while Edwardian floral prints have more subtle pastel colours.
