The best of charming farmhouse living.
Encapsulating the beauty of traditional Portuguese ceramics, these exciting patterned tiles tick both the bold and rustic box. Their glossy floral motif is cleverly ‘worn away’ to expose the matt terracotta biscuit underneath, giving your room that wonderful vintage charm.The contrast between the oh-so-smooth glossy glazing and the rougher, matt surface is truly stunning - both to look at and to touch. No wonder it took over two years to perfect; these are the first tiles to feature two different textures, and they’re sure to bring warmth and tactility to any home.Each 45 x 45 cm tile is divided into four different patterns by scored joints, which are designed to be grouted.If you’re laying Lisbon Flora on your floor, why not pair with Cottage Pale on your walls (as shown above) to complete the cottagecore vibe?
