Ceramics Hand Painted Tiles

Hand-Painted Ceramic Tiles Made to Order

Paris Ceramics offers an almost unlimited range of decorative hand painted ceramic tiles.

We begin with a handmade tile. This can have either a white crackle glaze background or one of several plain colour-washed backgrounds.

Our artists then hand paint each tile to order.

 

Decorative Styles and Techniques

The collection offers a wide range of styles and decorating techniques. These move from neo-classical and mediaeval designs to romantic and naive decoration.

This range gives clients almost limitless design possibilities.

Clients can choose from a wide variety of house designs. However, these designs do not function as fixed or standard works. Instead, they provide a starting point for each client’s own specification.

 

Designed Around the Room

Our artists design and paint each tile to order. Often, they create the design for a specific place, such as a shower enclosure or a kitchen splashback.

As hand painted ceramic tiles, these pieces allow pattern, colour and architectural setting to work together.

They can create decorative panels, borders, field tiles, murals, kitchen walls, bathroom schemes and fireplaces. They can also suit other areas where a more individual surface is required.

Craft, Brushwork and Character

Their value lies in the relationship between handwork and place.

Each tile carries slight variations in brushwork, glaze, tone and line. These details give the finished surface a depth that machine-made decoration cannot easily reproduce.

This makes the collection useful for projects that need character without becoming excessive.

A scheme can feel classical, romantic, rustic, playful or quietly refined. The palette, scale and decorative language shape the final mood.

Paris Ceramics’ hand painted ceramic tiles are made for interiors where surface detail matters. They can echo historic tile traditions or be developed into something more personal, shaped around a particular room, wall, proportion or brief. For a deeper look at this approach, read our blog on Neisha Crosland tiles and painted ceramic tile.

The result is not simply a decorative tile, but a commissioned surface with atmosphere, craft and intention. Whether used sparingly as an accent or across a larger architectural composition, these tiles bring artistry, colour and individuality into the fabric of a room.
