Bought a second hand sideboard that came with two tiles inlaid at either end on the top. The tiles are hideous all brown floral seventies yuck. My living room is white and blues and greys with a few pops of yellow. Where can I buy two funky arty tiles from that are 25x25 cm? I'm struggling to find anything in that size. Help!

Try etsy.com

purplecorkheart - tried there and can't seem to find any in the size I'm after. How do you search by size on there? And thank you for the suggestion.

Contact Dottery Pottery - she will probably make some for you to your taste. folksy.com/shops/thedotterypotter

I lust after her stuff but am trying to get rid of things so once I am decluttered, I will be getting something smashing for my front room.

Go to the walls and floors site, and buy two sample tiles in the size and pattern you like.

What about using mosaic tiles and cuttting off a couple of rows?
You could add narrow wooden beading as a "frame" to hide the fact that the tiles aren't quite the right size

you could make your own. There are lots of potteries that do sessions. its very easy to make lovely tiles. Would probably cost you about £20.

Lots of great suggestions, thank you. I'd love to make my own PanannyPanoo, not sure who would do that where I live (non-uk).

What about painting them- chalk paint would prob rub off if you changed your mind.

If 25cm x 25 is a non standard size, can you get oversized ones and cut them down with a tile cutter?
As someone suggested above, a couple of samples. Or check end of line discontinued section of a tile warehouse

Buy a selection of 5x5 tiles?
