Flooring, Wall Tiles & Rugs
I am trying to source brick flooring for my entire downstairs including the kitchen, utility, entrance hall and living room. It will be continued on to an outside patio. It needs to be suitable for use with underfloor heating. Please could you recommend suppliers?
Have you tried the York Handmade Brick Company? They have a wide range of bricks including cobbles and terracotta pavers which would be suitable for indoors and outside. If you can't see what you are looking for on their website, do give them a call as they also specialize in bespoke brickwork.
Where can I find tiles with a chinoiserie motif?
Fired Earth's 'English Craft' range includes 'Chelsworth' - a handmade and hand-decorated Chinoiserie pattern from the studios of Alice Gibbons. The tile was inspired by an early 19th century design. It can be used in panels of 4, 6, 12 or 36 tiles, which when used together make up a large 72 tile master panel.

Where do I find tiles in a cutlery design? Also tiles with the names of herbs written on them?
Welbeck Tiles' ‘English Collection’ includes a range called ‘Cutlery’ which features antique silver cutlery designs inspired by original engravings. Their ‘Welbeck Words’ are bespoke panels with custom words of your choice (herbs, or anything else).
I am looking for tiles to create a stunning and unusual wall feature. What would you suggest?
