Chequerboard Tiles

The classic black and white chequerboard is one of the most recognised Victorian layouts. Its sharp contrast and simple geometry bring a striking look to both period and modern interiors. Choose from small and large tile sizes to match the scale of your room.

Octagon & Dot Tiles

Our octagon and dot designs combine elegance and versatility. Black and white octagons with small contrasting inserts create a refined look that suits hallways, kitchens and bathrooms alike.

Stars & Crosses

For a more decorative layout, black and white stars and crosses give extra character and pattern depth, ideal for feature areas or border details.
