These tile designs have a retro feel about them that reaches back through time, evoking memories of the hippie inspired days of the 1960s and 70s. Then, viewed from a different angle, they also tend to hint of Northern Africa… with places like Morocco coming to mind.

At this year’s International Ceramic Tile Fair in Bologna, where traditionally the industry shows off its latest innovations, these fabulous tiles were one of the buzz products that generated a lot of interest. There is a wide range of selection in these types of tiles, some of which are quite colourful.

East Midlands Ceramics managing director, Barry Slawson is an annual visitor to the fair and is always on the lookout for new ideas to inspire local interior designers.

He says: “In recent years, tile trends have leaned towards a minimalist approach where neat clean lines are the order of the day. These tiles represent a departure from that, to provide a totally different feel and experience.

“Beautifully designed, they seem quite revolutionary with a lively individual character. They are definitely not tiles that can be ignored and they almost cry out for attention.
