Victorian floor tiles

The bold patterns and schemes of the Victorian era are a grand testament to the architects and designers of the industrial age. Drawing inspiration from the magnificent gothic buildings of the middle ages, the vogue of mid-19th Century tiling was high decoration and a spectrum of stunning colour.

Often alongside these opulent and showy patterns were installed eye catching monochromatic schemes that did not carry such a high price tag. The black and white chequerboard, a popular choice for its versatility, had already then been used and referenced throughout history in a multitude of architectural settings.

For the period homes of the Victorian and Edwardian era it was an affordable, practical and striking solution that complimented the craftsmanship that is encapsulated in buildings of this time. The various designs, although limited in colour would both compliment a variety of interiors whilst remaining durable and eye catching.

Narrow halls are transformed into impressively decorative spaces as the design sits neatly bordering and accentuating the space, often turning sharply around a prominent stair case.

Simple, timeless and eye catching

A simple design like the chequer board can fit the smallest of spaces, such as a small porch of under half a square metre and still appear authentic, creating the illusion of a greater sense of space. The smaller two by two inch tiles were commonly used in the porch, lobby, hallway and pathway.

Due to the modular nature of this type of design, being constructed of individual tiles, a huge range of schemes can be created using just two bold colours along with a variety of border patterns to accentuate and fit neatly each space.
