They're full of character, without feeling overly rustic. The perfect balance of timeless and effortlessly stylish. Products Shown: Country House Porcelain Flagstones 03. They're clever. Really clever. Here's where things get interesting. What looks like lots of individually laid cobbles or herringbone pieces is actually a 60 x 40cm pre-scored porcelain tile. Simply grout into the pre-scored grooves and watch the intricate pattern come to life. All that beautiful detail, without the time-consuming process of laying hundreds of tiny individual tiles. Clever, right? Products Shown: Country House Cobbles Products Shown: Country House Herringbone 04. Two patterns, endless possibilities Can't decide between Cobbles and Herringbone? We don't blame you. Country House Cobbles brings a relaxed, heritage-inspired feel, with a pattern that can help make spaces appear wider. Country House Herringbone adds a little more movement, drawing the eye through a room for a beautifully considered finish. Products Shown: Country House Cobbles, Country House Herringbone 05. Traditional beauty, modern practicality They might look like aged natural stone, but they're actually made from durable, matt-finish porcelain. That means you get the warmth and character of traditional flooring, with the everyday practicality of porcelain. Suitable for interior walls and floors, and compatible with underfloor heating, they're designed for real homes and real life. And that's exactly our kind of tile.

From soft, powdery blues to rich cobalt and deep ocean tones, blue bathrooms are making waves in interior design. Effortlessly calming yet full of character, blue tiles are becoming a favourite for homeowners and designers looking to create bathrooms that feel both timeless and beautifully individual. At Baked Tiles, we believe a bathroom should be more than just a functional space. It should be somewhere to slow down, unwind and enjoy a little everyday luxury. And when it comes to creating that feeling, blue tiles might just be the perfect place to start. Whether you're planning a complete bathroom renovation or simply looking to refresh your space, here are five reasons why we're falling in love with blue bathrooms. 5 Reasons to Choose Blue Tiles BROWSE BLUE TILES 1. Blue Creates an Instant Sense of Calm There's something naturally soothing about blue. Reminiscent of clear skies, tranquil seas and peaceful coastal escapes, it's a colour that instantly brings a sense of calm to a room. In the bathroom, where relaxation is key, soft shades of blue can transform even the smallest space into a spa-like sanctuary. Think delicate duck egg blues, muted aquamarines and gentle, washed-out tones paired with warm whites and natural materials. The Baked Tiles tip: Choose blue tiles with a subtle variation in tone or a softly textured glaze. These little imperfections catch the light beautifully, adding depth and warmth to an otherwise simple scheme. Products Shown: Lava Aqua, Evelyn Green, Little Italy Sky Blue 2. There's a Blue for Every Style One of the things we love most about blue tiles is just how versatile they are. It's not just about choosing the perfect shade of blue, but how you choose to style it! You might fall for a beautiful patterned blue tile with a softer, more organic feel, or perhaps a bold, contemporary chequerboard design is more your thing. From delicate powder blues to rich navy tones and vibrant cobalt shades, there's so much room to play with colour, pattern and texture. Whether you're creating a relaxed, Mediterranean-inspired bathroom or something a little more modern and playful, blue tiles can take on so many different looks. The Baked Tiles tip: Don't be afraid to have fun with blue! Mix different shades, experiment with patterns or try a chequerboard layout for a fresh, contemporary twist. It's amazing how one colour can create so many completely different looks. Products Shown: Koi, 1860 Blue, 1860 Vanilla 3. Blue Tiles Bring Depth, Texture and Personality While neutral bathrooms will always have their place, we're seeing a growing desire for interiors that feel a little more expressive and personal. Blue tiles offer the perfect opportunity to introduce colour without overwhelming a space. Their beauty lies in the incredible range of tones, finishes and textures available. Glossy blue tiles reflect light and bring a sense of movement to walls, while matt finishes create a softer, more understated effect. Handmade-look tiles, with their gently uneven surfaces and tonal variation, add an artisanal quality that makes a bathroom feel thoughtfully curated. For those who love a bolder look, rich blue tiles can create a stunning feature wall behind a freestanding bath or within a walk-in shower. The Baked Tiles tip: Let your tiles do the talking. Pair richly coloured or textured blue tiles with simple sanitaryware and understated accessories for a look that feels effortlessly stylish rather than overly busy. Products Shown: Aura Blue, Bodega 4. Blue Pairs Beautifully with Natural Materials If there's one combination we're particularly drawn to, it is blue tiles paired with warm, natural materials. Blue and wood are a match made in design heaven. The coolness of the blue is beautifully balanced by the warmth of oak, walnut or other timber finishes, creating a bathroom that feels welcoming and relaxed. Natural limestone and terracotta also work wonderfully alongside blue, adding texture and an organic feel to the space. For a little extra luxury, introduce brushed brass or bronze fixtures. These warmer metallic finishes contrast beautifully with blue, creating a look that's sophisticated without feeling too formal. The Baked Tiles tip: For an effortlessly elegant scheme, try pairing soft blue wall tiles with a warm stone-effect floor and a natural wood vanity. It's a combination that feels fresh, timeless and wonderfully inviting. Products Shown: Havana Nights Fan Indigo, Havana Nights Indigo Plain, Real Terracotta Parquet, Delicato Luca 5. Blue Is a Colour That Never Really Goes Out of Style Trends come and go, but blue has always had a place in interiors. From traditional Delft-inspired ceramics to Mediterranean mosaics and contemporary glazed tiles, blue has been used in beautiful spaces for generations. It's this timeless quality that makes blue such a wonderful choice for bathrooms. While certain shades and tile shapes may rise in popularity, blue itself has an enduring appeal that allows it to evolve alongside your personal style. A classic navy tile can feel traditional when paired with marble and polished nickel, or beautifully contemporary alongside clean lines and minimalist fittings. Similarly, soft blue tiles can be styled with natural textures for a relaxed coastal look or with more refined finishes for something altogether more sophisticated. The Baked Tiles tip: If you're looking for a bathroom design that will stand the test of time, choose a shade of blue you genuinely love and keep your larger fixtures simple. You can always refresh the look with new accessories, lighting and finishing touches.

By October, there’s no mistaking the change in season. The mornings have a little more bite. The light has shifted. Leaves are collecting at the edges of pavements and leaving the house without a jacket is starting to feel overly optimistic. With the autumn equinox behind us, the days are getting shorter and the evenings darker. Summer feels firmly over, and we’re spending more time indoors as autumn settles in. Windows that have been thrown open for months begin to close. Lamps are switched on earlier. The sofa suddenly looks much more appealing than the garden chair. We start craving interiors that feel warmer, richer and altogether more cocooning. Summer’s breezy blues and fresh whites don’t have to disappear, of course. But this is the time of year when burnt terracotta, forest green, plum, ochre and coffee brown start looking especially good. Here are five Baked Tiles designs helping us settle very happily into the season. REAL TERRACOTTA If autumn were a tile, Baked Real Terracotta Parquet would have a fairly convincing claim to the title. Its handmade, sun-baked terracotta tones echo the rusts, browns and burnt oranges appearing outdoors, while natural variation gives the surface the sort of depth that feels instantly established. The elongated format is made for movement, whether you choose parquet or herringbone. Picture it with creamy walls, a vintage wooden table, piles of logs and a wool rug and you’ve essentially got our autumn mood board sorted. Better still, real terracotta responds beautifully to underfloor heating - exactly the sort of detail that becomes increasingly persuasive as the mornings cool. Products Shown: Baked Real Terracotta Parquet 1860 PLUM There are summer colours and there are autumn colours. 1860 Plum most definitely belongs in the second camp. Its deep plum hue has the richness we start craving once daylight becomes softer and evenings arrive earlier. Plum is also a useful reminder that an autumn palette doesn’t have to mean a sea of orange and brown. Pair it with creamy neutrals for something elegant, bring in aged brass for extra warmth, or sit it beside a muted green for a scheme that feels taken straight from the hedgerows. Products Shown: 1860 Plum, 1860 Vanilla, Cottage Sea Grass Gloss KITKAT LUSTRE CARAMEL Caramel is one of those shades that comes into its own at this time of year. Rich and warming without feeling too dark, these slender KitKat tiles have a lustrous glaze that gives the colour real depth, shifting subtly as the light moves across the surface. Paired with warm neutrals, natural wood or deeper browns, they make a convincing case for bringing a little more richness into the room. Products Shown: Kitkat Lustre Caramel JOURNEYMAN ZELLIGE GREEN As leaves turn outside, there’s something appealing about holding on to a little green indoors. Journeyman Zellige Green does it in a rich, glossy way, with tonal and textural variation designed to catch the light. And autumn light is exactly where glossy tiles come into their own. As lamps replace daylight, reflective surfaces take on a new character. Use this green in a kitchen with natural timber, on a bathroom wall with warm metal finishes, or around a feature area where its depth can really be appreciated. Products Shown: Journeyman Zellige Green BIBURY STONE FOSSE WAY And finally, our newest addition to the Baked Tiles product collection, Fosse Way. There’s something particularly cosy about this stone. Its warm, earthy tones and softly tumbled finish make us think of autumn weekends in the Cotswolds – wellies by the door, leaves underfoot and coming home to somewhere warm after a long walk. Of course, good tiles aren’t seasonal. These are colours, textures and materials that work beautifully year-round, we just happen to think they really come into their own in autumn. So, close the doors, pour yourself something warm and settle into the season. Products Shown: Bibury Stone - Fosse Way Limestone Tumbled

Move over cool grey. Brown is bringing warmth back to the bathroom. From milky coffee and soft taupe to terracotta, walnut and deep chocolate, brown tiles have a wonderfully grounding quality. They can make a bathroom feel cocooning without making it dark, natural without becoming overly rustic, and seriously stylish without relying on a passing fad. Better still, there isn't just one way to do brown. Whether your dream bathroom is calm and spa-like, rich and characterful or full of pattern, here are five ways to bring this earthy palette home. 1. Start softly with warm neutrals You don't need to dive straight into dark chocolate tones to create a brown bathroom. Beige, biscuit, sand, caramel and taupe all belong to the same warm family and are a brilliant place to begin if you prefer a lighter look. A stone-effect tile is particularly good at creating this softer interpretation. Manor House Antique Limestone Beige has the warmth and natural-looking variation that makes a room feel established rather than stark, while its generous format can help create a calmer, more continuous finish. Keep the rest of the palette tonal: think warm white walls, pale wood, woven storage, linen, aged brass and just a few deeper brown accents. The result feels relaxed, layered and far removed from the clinical bathrooms of old. Products Shown: Manor House Antique Limestone Beige 2. Bring in the warmth of wood Few materials make a room feel as instantly inviting as wood, but a bathroom isn't always the easiest environment for the real thing. That's where wood-effect porcelain comes into its own. For a richer look, Woodland Parquet Walnut brings those deep, nutty brown tones together with the movement of a parquet-style format. Use it to introduce warmth to the floor, or take the timber look further to create a more enveloping scheme. If you prefer something larger and more contemporary, Osaka In & Out Teak combines brown and beige tones with a wood-effect finish, making it an interesting option for a modern, nature-led bathroom. Products Shown: Woodland Parquet Walnut, Osaka In & Out Teak 3. Use terracotta as your route into brown Somewhere between brown, rust, burnt orange and clay sits terracotta - and it's one of the easiest ways to make a bathroom feel warmer. For an earthy, handcrafted look without committing to one flat shade, try Marrakesh Terracotta Brick Dark Matt. The slim brick format gives you plenty of freedom with the layout, too. Stack it for something clean and contemporary, use a traditional brick bond, or turn it into a herringbone feature. Products Shown: Marrakesh Terracotta Brick Dark Matt For a larger, bolder dose of colour, Casa Cotto Dark delivers those deeper baked-clay tones in a square format. Pair either with warm white, plaster pink, muted green or timber to keep the overall scheme feeling natural. 4. Take chequerboard to the walls Who says chequerboard belongs on the floor? Taking this classic pattern up the walls is a brilliant way to give a brown bathroom a more playful edge - especially when you swap traditional black and white for something warmer. Zellige Muse Mocha is just the shade for it. Pair its rich chocolatey brown with a contrasting cream or off-white square tile to create a chequerboard wall that feels bold without becoming stark. Try it behind the basin, around a bath or across an entire feature wall. The glossy, zellige-inspired finish brings extra depth to the pattern, catching the light and helping those warm mocha tones come alive. Keep the rest of the scheme simple with natural wood, warm metals and creamy neutrals, and let the wall take centre stage. Proof that brown bathrooms can have plenty of fun, too. Products Shown: Zellige Muse Mocha 5. Give brown some personality Earthy doesn't have to mean understated. If you want your brown bathroom to have a little more personality, introduce different scales, finishes and patterns rather than covering every surface in exactly the same tile. KitKat Lustre Cappuccino is a great example. The slim mosaic format and cappuccino colouring bring together two useful ingredients: warm brown colour and a surface with plenty of visual detail. Use it behind a basin, across a feature wall or inside a shower area to punctuate a quieter scheme. You can also pair terracotta or cappuccino shades with checks, stripes or patterned floors. Add burgundy, dusty pink, olive green or even pale blue and suddenly brown becomes the grounding colour that allows everything else in the room to shine. Brown bathrooms work because they make a room designed around water feel warmer, softer and more connected to nature. Whether you get there through stone, terracotta or a glossy cappuccino accent, the trick is to layer the shades rather than searching for one perfect brown.

Starting a new home project can feel somewhat daunting. Especially when you have a newborn to look after. There are so many decisions to make with endless products to pick from, so it’s a good idea to start with something you absolutely love. Be it a colour, material, a piece of furniture, a style, shape or pattern. For digital creator @rachael_keegan, it was a chequerboard design that was the inspiration for her new family bathroom. “I have been planning this bathroom since before we even moved into our house one-and-a-half years ago,” she explains, “so safe to say a lot of thought has gone into it. I got my inspiration from Pinterest and Instagram and I quite quickly became a little obsessed with the idea of chequerboard. “I saw a bathroom created by Amber Lewis (@amberinteriors) a while back on my explore page on Instagram with pale blue and cream chequerboard tiles and couldn't stop thinking about it. I went through so many iterations in my head though and wasn't sure if I was bold enough to actually commit to it, but I'm so glad I did, as I think it looks so beautiful and impactful, without being too much.” Products Shown: Journeyman Zellige Caramel, Journeyman Zellige Beige, Porth Wen Beige Rachael kept the general layout but the finished room has been completely transformed. Before, it was an outdated beige with chipped tiles, peeling paint, an over-bath shower and single basin. Rachael knew this configuration wasn’t up to the task so she slid the bath along, creating a new shower area in the corner where the bath originally sat. And as it’s a decent sized room, she added a double basin vanity to make early mornings a breeze and use all available space. Products Shown: Journeyman Zellige Caramel, Journeyman Zellige Beige, Porth Wen Beige A curved archway leads through to the walk-in shower, which is tiled throughout with our Journeyman Zellige Caramel and Beige. Laid in a chequerboard pattern, these tiles harness the look of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship with their rich, textured surface that creates an authentic handmade style. The two-tone effect brings spa-style quality to the bathroom and appears effortlessly relaxed yet invigorating with its complementary colour combination. Products Shown: Journeyman Zellige Caramel, Journeyman Zellige Beige The tiles continue around the room and their natural palette provides the perfect partner to Rachael’s carefully curated pieces, from the beautiful oak double vanity unit with marble top to the perfume cabinet filled with her favourite scents. Products Shown: Journeyman Zellige Caramel, Journeyman Zellige Beige “Much like dressing yourself, I think your home should also be a reflection of you and your personality and I have already been told on a few occasions that our new bathroom is 'so me' or 'me in bathroom form', which is lovely to hear,” says Rachael. “I love caramel, beige and neutral tones and wanted to create a calming and chic space, but also with some fun and personality. Also, an arched walk-in shower was always top of my list - we live in a 1930s house with a split staircase and arched landing so it is beautifully in-keeping.” The curvaceous bath is also both practical and elegant. By painting it the same tone as the walls, Rachael has achieved a sense of cohesion throughout the space, while a brushed brass shower mixer enables Rachael to bathe and hair wash her two children with ease. Products Shown: Journeyman Zellige Caramel, Journeyman Zellige Beige For the flooring, Rachael chose our Porth Wen Beige porcelain tiles, which create a calming, natural feel underfoot that helps to anchor the space and let the rest of the scheme breathe. The tiles feature subtle variations in texture and tone to mimic the beauty of natural stone while the material itself is hardwearing and durable and has that all-important anti-slip finish. “I have a very aesthetic brain,” she adds, “and knew I wanted it to look beautiful with a bit of character, but still quite calming in tone. We have two little boys so perhaps I should have thought a little more about practicality with a built-in bath. Alas, I had my heart set on a freestanding one so there is just a lot of splash control currently. The walk-in shower is really practical though and we opted for a smaller bath in the end to accommodate a larger shower area.”
