Help!

The short version is we are unexpectedly having a new kitchen and everything is being done really fast. I had chosen tiles for the walls but discovered today that they are unavailable.

I am going insane scouring the interweb for alternatives with absolutely no luck. My toddler is ill and baby is teething,husband stressed and working long hours and we're camping out in a holiday unit until this work is finished.

Please help me to find some lovely tiles to look forward too so I can stop panicking?!

those are lovely



So do you want something just like this? If not, what is it about these tiles you like?

this website also sells them, might be worth a try to see if they have them? unless you have already tried of course.

these or these or these maybe - though the colours are more muted than yours.

Minipie you are an angel thank you so so much. I will check availability in the morning with that first website! Thank you.

It is the clarity and vibrancy of the colour combined with the imperfections in the glaze and the handmade look that I really like. And the price...would love to be able to go wild in fired earth but budget has nothing like that capacity!

Thank you so much you have made my day Grin

Oh, oh, you need something from this range. We have just had the Cosmopolitan square tiles (13" x 13") in Lagoon. They are exactly what you describe - clarity and vibrancy of colour combined with imperfections in the glaze. See pictures on my profile of our new kitchen and a close up of the tiles. They were £62 a square metre.

We looked at Fired Earth too actually but much preferred the ones I've linked to.

You have to look at "local stockists" to find one where to get them near you for the tiles I've linked to.
