Why Choose Handmade Tiles
-
Artisanal character: Subtle variation (shade/edge/brush) delivers a warm, crafted feel.
-
Vibrant Jaipur palette: Orange, yellow, blue, plus supporting neutrals for balance.
-
Statement-friendly: Small formats create rich pattern and colour stories.
-
Durable glaze: Easier upkeep than paint or wallpaper, especially in humid zones.
Best Places to Use
-
Kitchen: Backsplash highlighters, open-shelf back panels, island fronts.
-
Bathroom: Vanity wall, mirror surround, shower niche (use non-staining grout).
-
Furniture: Sideboard/console insets, table-tops with metal/wood frames.
-
Accent walls: Entry foyer, pooja backdrop, café corners, bar counters.
How to Plan Your Handmade Look
-
Pattern ideas: checker, diamond/harlequin, running bond, borders with 2×2 trims.
-
Colour strategy: Use a bold hero colour (orange/yellow/blue) and soften with white/cream/grey field tiles.
-
Grout choice: Colour-match to let motifs shine or contrast (charcoal/ivory) for vintage lines.
-
Edge finish: Frame with wood/metal trims or a 2×2 border for a “tiled artwork” effect.
Installation & Care (India-ready)
- Ensure flat, primed, waterproofed substrate in wet zones; use wall-grade tile adhesive.
-
Dry-lay & shuffle boxes to distribute shade/brush variation evenly (that’s the handmade charm!).
- Use non-staining grout (epoxy recommended in kitchens/bathrooms); clean excess promptly.
- Routine care: pH-neutral cleaners and microfiber wipes; avoid abrasive pads that can dull the glaze.
