Victorian And Federation Tiles:
Timeless Pieces For Your Home

If you admire rich colours, strong accents and lots of character, Victorian Tiles are the tiles for you!

Victorian and Federation Tiles are usually small, square, intricate and artistic. They possess geometric shapes, repeating patterns and tell a story. Originating in the 19th century, the tiles have their origins in Gothic Revival architecture but are still well loved to this day because of their aesthetic appeal and timeless nature.

Bathroom

The chazrisma of Victorian bathroom tiles is unparalleled for any room. But what makes these tiles suitable for bathrooms is that they have a slightly textured surface, which provides traction and slip resistance, making them a safer choice for bathroom floors, especially in wet areas.
